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.

Learning About Obstacle Commitment

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.
