There's a proposal in Chicago for a dog park with an attached bar. It will be a place, according to this piece on Block Club Chicago, where people can "“grab a beer at the concession-style stand, have a seat and work on their computer while their dog runs around and plays.” Here's the URL of the Block Club piece: https://blockclubchicago.org/2023/10/04/an-indoor-dog-park-with-a-bar-proposed-in-north-center/

This is just a mind-blowingly stupid idea. And that's what this episode is about. Bill talks about why mixing alcohol and lots of dogs is not only a bad idea, but also an incredibly dangerous one and why they're worried that if this place opens, dogs could get hurt ... or worse.

DON'T FORGET: Bill wants to answer YOUR training and behavior questions on the pod. And they want to play your lovely voices asking those questions. You've got two options:

Use your audio recording app of choice to record yourself asking a training or behavior question and email it to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Bill will then play it on the pod and answer it.
You can actually jump on a recording session with Bill and you'll go over your question together. That'll let Bill ask you follow-up questions and really dig deep into the issue. If that's the route you want to go, shoot Bill a quick email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
