Marilyn Gilchrist is a professional dog trainer, and "Who Am I Now" is her conversation with…
This is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they'd dare to share.
I'm Kevin Allison, and this is one of our conversation story episodes, where someone typically tells their story to me, and then we chat about it.
This is kind of a part two, a kissing cousin to our episode earlier this week, also called Still Dog People, with a story from Jill Karliner called Two Truths.
But I won't be on this episode much because this conversation is lifted directly from an episode of a podcast called The Bitey End of the Dog, which our own John La Sala is an editor for.
John was recently editing a conversation between the host, Michael Caccasio, a trainer specializing in dogs with aggression issues, and his guest, fellow trainer Marilyn Gilchrist.
And John was struck by how much of a kindred spirit her story was to Jill's story from our last episode.
So that's what you're gonna hear, and then I'll pop in at the end to share some thoughts of my own.
But just like with Jill's story, heads up, there will be blood, and there will be some trauma.
So just a quick break, and when we come back from The Bitey End of the Dog podcast, Michael Caccasio and Marilyn Gilchrist with her story called Who Am I Now?
