| 0:00.0 | Hey there. So I'm here again with my buddy Laurie Luck. And we're talking today about some of the myths that surround teaching clicker training to people because we're both instructors. |
| 0:26.1 | And so we teach clicker training, we use clicker training. |
| 0:29.2 | And then also since we both happen to be Karen Pryor Academy, KPA instructors, we teach other people to teach other people how to use clicker training. So, |

| 1:21.7 | And I'm like, wow, well, your timing's fantastic. |
| 1:23.7 | So we know that that's not true. |
