With the practice of social distancing, business has dropped by over 30% so far and appears to be in steady decline. We love and appreciate our customers beyond words. They are why we are here and why we choose to do what we do in spite of the challenges of small business ownership. We at the cafe are thankful for every single person that supports us on a regular basis, and through this unprecedented time. We really are in this together.

The cost to run a small business is never ending. When money stops coming in we can't stay open. We depend on our customers and, at a time like this, it is crucial for us to continue having business in some way to get through it.

The impact of coronavirus on my dog training business has been sudden and surprising. Group classes postponed indefinitely, private lessons cancelled, and drastic measures put in place to maintain safe social distancing for myself and clients. Gift certificates & subscriptions allow me to offer additional services now that can help people remotely during this challenging time. They also help me to pay bills for a new training space I rented, and allow me to create & prepare new programs and workshops that will benefit more dogs. Thanks to your support, greater opportunities are ready to roll-out once this threat has passed!
