Skinner sounds like a pretty cool dude.
So that was kind of my very first introduction to dog training.
I didn't even have a dog.
I was just learning to be a teacher.
And then I really wanted a dog and I didn't.
I didn't know what I was going to do with the dog, but I knew I wanted to do something.
I went to the library because the internet was just a baby.
I started reading books about different breeds.
Then I saw this little show about agility on Animal Planet.
That was in 1998.
So then I adopted a dog from the local shelter and I started teaching it to do agility.
I took some classes and then it was kind of off to the races.
So I kind of came to agility backwards from pretty much everybody else.
Most people in agility have a dog and it's naughty.
and it's jumping on their furniture and jumping over fences.
And somebody says, oh, you should do agility.
Your dog will be great at it.
Like who, you know, you don't need to be a dog trainer.
Just go to, just go do it.
Your dog's jumping.
