Thank you for another excellent tutorial. Can you include an image file of your sketches? Rather than sketch along, I prefer to have a go after watching the video, using your finished sketches to remind me about the tips you presented.

My 8-year-old daughter sketched the first dog alongside me (following your guidance), and she said, "I feel like a real artist!" <3

Lovely. Takes the fear out of sketching pets. Great to have these proportions.
