I would like to start out by wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season🎅. It has been an incredible year at Elite Retrievers. Between the Purina Masterclass Series, The Expert Insight Forum Series, Retriever Day School, workshops, and the launching of my Bombproof Basics digital course, it has been a whirlwind of fun. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, because none of this would be possible without your support. Don’t let me fail to acknowledge all of the hard work my wife, Robin, has put into the Elite Retrievers learning platform. She is the glue that holds everything together. Thank you, sweetheart!
Many of you are going to be stuck indoors with Winter Storm Elliot bearing down on you. When you get tired of watching sappy holiday movies, you may want to binge on the Purina Masterclass Series. My most recent class covers training tips for the off-season. All you need to do to access the Purina library is create a free account or log into your existing account. I have included the link to the new library. https://www.eliteretrievers.com/purina-live
Warm Wishes, Pat

P.S. I also have included a special holiday gift 🎁for you. I filmed the evening Q&A session from the recent Andy Attar seminar I had in Boston, GA. I think you might enjoy the dialogue we had. Here is the link to watch https://vimeo.com/783934982
