*About our guest: *

I've owned and operated an off-leash pack dog hiking company for nearly 15 years and launched Templates for Pet Pros, a Canva template membership for pet industry professionals when my pack hiking business has to close during the pandemic. I've worked in dog daycare, pet supply retail, training service dogs, as a dog walking business coach and owned and operated a dog collar and leash company. I'm also a professional pet photographer and dog mom to 2 beagles (@littlehounddog on Instagram).
