These guys have each had a real impact on the trainer I am today, just in very different ways.
Eric Erik Good came into the Academy and completely turned everything I thought I knew upside down. At the time, I was freaking out. Looking back, Iām glad he did. It forced me to rethink things, ask better questions, and grow as a trainer.
Keith brought a ton of patience and support. He took the time to help me work through things, understand the process, and keep moving forward. Garret Garret Wing has been there for much more than dog training. Heās been someone I can call when Iām working through major decisions in life and business. He has a way of helping me break things down, see the bigger picture, and make my own decision.
Then thereās Justin Justin Rigney . I never get tired of hearing him teach. Iāve sat through his lectures and seminars enough times that, like he once told me, I could probably teach the seminar myself by now. But every time I listen, I still catch something I missed before or understand something on a different level.
Thatās probably one of the biggest lessons Iāve taken from all of them. No matter how much you learn or how far you go, thereās always more to understand.
Always a student.
