Feb. Livestreams: Patreon-Member Live Training Feedback from Me! & Call for Questions! (Patreon)

Q&A Live: Tuesday February 13th @11:30am ET (link below)

Deep Dive Live: Tuesday February 20th @11am ET  (link in separate upcoming post for Inner Circle, Elite, & Top Fan Members) Topic: We're Trying Something New! Ever wanted direct feedback from me on your training? This month we're doing a Patreon-Member Live Video Review and Troubleshooting Session! (details below)

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR! :)

LIVESTREAM INFO:

Reminder that our livestreams are via Zoom and I will post the YouTube replay link after the event with a brief summary of the topics covered. You can always go back and watch past livestreams even if you can't be there live. Participants will be muted so please put follow-up questions that pop up during the Zoom in the chat box. Reminder that questions should be related to the topic I am currently covering.

Those members who are at the "Crew" ($6/month) level or above are able to submit one question per month with their membership. Leave that question in the comments below.

The cut-off for submitting questions is 2 days prior to the Zoom (Sunday February 11th by 11:30 am ET is the last date to submit) so that I have time to prepare. Please limit questions to 1 per person so I have time to answer them within the hour. Questions should be general enough that I don't need to know your specific dog/behavior to answer the question (this also allows everyone to benefit from the question). If you're looking for more specific feedback on your dog, be sure to join the Top Fan membership level for video review of your training.

DEEP DIVE INFO: HAVE YOU EVER WANTED ME TO REVIEW/TROUBLESHOOT YOUR TRAINING? This is your chance! 

I'm trying something new! It may crash and burn, or it may be really useful/cool. We won't know until we try! 

Please Read All Instructions Carefully: This month I decided that I'm going to try a new format. I'm going to try reviewing a member's videoed training session live. I've always done private 3-minute video review as part of the Elite and Top Fan Tiers. This includes a breakdown with timestamps when I see something I love, or a modification you can make to be more effective in future sessions, along with potential next training steps. So I thought I would have a member submit a video of something they are currently training and might be stuck on, or just want to refine a bit, and then talk through and troubleshoot the specific exercise. 

For this first one, if you're interested in your video being reviewed live, I'll have you comment on the Zoom Link Post for Inner Circle members with your interest and the training/exercise you're working on. (THIS IS NOT THAT POST - The Deep Dive post where I want you to comment your interest will be a separate post also on the feed of Inner Circle and above members). Initially, you will just be posting your interest and topic - not any video unless you're actually chosen for the review. 

The exercise/video could be loose leash walking work, task training (non-scent-based), some public access work you're doing etc. For this first one, I'm going to pick a person/topic based on what's in my wheelhouse since, presumably, I won't have worked with you before, and I need a topic conducive to this type of review. In the future, I may elect to do it as a lottery type system, but I need to try this out first and see how it works. 

Please note: By commenting your interest and topic/exercise on the separate Deep Dive post, you are consenting to having your video watched by all Inner Circle+ members who will be watching me publicly review and troubleshoot the training. While my aim in review is never to be mean or offensive, and I'm generally a pretty positive person, this could potentially be a sensitive ask, I'm pretty honest and direct, it will be live and sometimes my foot firmly plants in my mouth, and we will be looking at specific aspects of your training as part of this review. If this isn't something you want done semi-publicly, please do not throw your hat in the ring.

All that being said, I think this could be a really helpful and fun exercise for those looking for a little extra feedback on their training. And those that are watching will not only be able to see the troubleshooting process, but they'll also see how I assess and review video and what aspects I look at that can effect dog and human outcomes. So, hopefully you all think this is a neat idea. We'll try it out and we'll see how we like it! 

Rules: 

- Members who are Inner Circle level or above (Inner Circle, Elite OG, Elite, Top Fan) will be eligible. 

- Video submission must be of you actually working with your dog on something and not just a general question. We need actual video footage to review. 

- Maximum video length is 3 minutes

- You must be able to load that video onto YouTube, set to Unlisted for submission

- You do not need to be able to make the livestream to submit, but it would be cool if you can be there. 

Okay, hopefully that all made sense! We'll see how it goes! 

If you're an Inner Circle, Elite or Top Fan member you will receive a link to the livestream in a separate post (the one you should comment on to be included as a potential candidate for video review). If you're interested in this topic and are at the Member or Crew level, you can always upgrade if this topic interests you, and get access to all past Deep Dives.

Back to the Live Q&A: Please post your question for the February 13th livestream below in the comments!

See you next week!
