Great episode, Petra and Melissa. What I heard loud & clear (and with such kindness and humor): slice behaviors super-thin, don't make a Bataan March outta the whole chain, and have fun w/each bit. We're not doing agility or competition obedience, but I learned a lot. Bet class will be terrific!

Thank you for #17. I think there’s a lot of that going around as people deal with the circus. Hope #18 had a salutary effect!
