Dog Training Services in the US industry analysis

The dog training services industry has experienced low growth over the past five years, largely due to pandemic-related disruptions to demand. Fluctuations in pet ownership and disposable income have also impacted growth. The industry, which caters to domestic pets and dogs trained for specific tasks, suffered in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the economy and the implementation of stay-at-home orders. Revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 0.8% to $406.8 million over the five years to 2024 and is forecast to increase 0.7% by 2023.
