Hi Paula, @Bernerlabreclectus It’s great to hear about your private lessons model and that you are taking a very professional approach for referrals. It is true that many behaviorists are super booked up at this time due to the surge in dog ownership and shelter adoptions that took place during the pandemic. As a result, some businesses like our friends at Behavior Vets are doing virtual consults for a large geographic range, outside of their home states. I would do some Google research to see who is in your immediate area but also look at Behavior Vets (NYC or Colorado) and see if their virtual session option is of interest to you for referrals.
As for CATCH trainers in your area of Chicago, the Trainers Directory on our website would be a great place to start and see whose websites look intriguing to you for referrals: https://catchdogtrainers.com/trainers/
