Making dog training affordable: SFTD's Scholarship Fund, Black Friday Sale, on-demand offerings, and more. Plus: Jimmy Stewart's poem about his dog
Summary: <p>It costs a lot to run a small business in New York City, which can be a conundrum for a mission-driven business like School For The Dogs. Annie talks about some of the ways that she and Kate have worked to offer services and goods at prices that can make "Good Dog Training" accessible to everyone, and what it means to "shop small" in a world when the little guys are selling products that can so often be purchased at big-box stores or on Amazon. Listen up for information on SFTD's Black Friday sale -- including an exclusive discount for podcast listeners interested in on-demand courses. Annie also talks about the School For The Dogs Scholarship Fund, and mentions a special gift all donors to the fund will be offered between now and the end of the year. Lastly: She shares a poem written and read by the late Jimmy Stewart, about loving, and losing a cherished canine best friend. </p> <p>Mentioned in this episode: </p> <ul> <li>Our online shop: <a href="http://storeforthedogs.com" target="_blank">http://storeforthedogs.com</a> </li> <li>The Revol crate by Diggs!
