The Origin of the
Canine High Jinks Podcast
It all started with a text message from Elissa to Whitney in December of 2019.
Elissa: I think we should start a podcast.
Whitney: Oh yeah? What would we talk about?
Elissa: Dogs, of course!
The rest, as they say, is history.

Peyton Green, agility instructor at Corral Creek Dog Sport Center, talks through obstacle commitment: how to build it, test it and fix it when you broke it.
