[@SedonaVonGeczy-Hamberlin]

You've convinced me! I'm going to get back in the habit of videoing my sessions. The example of retrieve really got me. I've been struggling to go through the bring me program for a year now, and I don't think I videoed a single session. The recallers coaches have been waiting for me to do this for weeks now. You got me! Thank you for everything!

[@lv2blde]

I often do quickies throughout the day. Since they’re spontaneous taking a video isn’t possible, or is it? This has inspired me to set up tripods in a few locations so I can be ready for training. I recognize the value just needed the “push”! Thank you, Susan and Dogs That team for being there.

[@susantaylor7496]

Thank you Susan, I needed to hear this. I think you train me as much as you help me to train my dog and I love that. Whilst I won't video our training out on walks etc (some of this is necessary to help overcome reactivity) I have no excuse not to video home sessions, and realise how much it would speed up our learning (which is currently rather slow). I aim to become one of your 50%-ers and help you to achieve your goal by achieving my own 😍

[@kathihayes8517]

I have not videoed any sessions. Neither has my daughter who does most of our training. I struggle with everything and the puppy I now have wasn’t what I chose for my life and I’m already overwhelmed. I had an accidental litter of eight from the rescue dog that came, and then, for some reason certain people in my life thought that a puppy would be a good idea for us. I thought they wanted me to die. Actually, I’m going to survive and so is the puppy!

[@carolinedupre3529]

I'm in Susan! Chuck and I have been in Recallers since Dec. 28th and I am willing to video my sessions 50% or more of the time and help you reach your goal :) There! Said it, wrote it and now I'm doing it! Thanks for being you Susan. I'm a huge fan ;)

[@DogsThat]

@carolinedupre3529 We're so excited to have you join the Recallers team, Chuck and you are an incredible inspiration! (Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@Hawkruh1]

I video occasionally, especially when reaching out to a coach, but will now make it a routine. Taking the time to set up has held me back from being in the moment. NO EXCUSES! No longer an option. Recallers in an awesome course that I’m not taking full advantage of when I skip this step. I’m thinking about having some pre-established camera stands set up, in addition to the one I purposefully bought, to quickly access. Your cardboard tube idea will make that easy to do. Thank you! Tulah and Olive thank you also.

[@urbanMind108]

You are such a skilled teacher of humans, no wonder you are that much better at training dogs. Love your work. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@CH-iy4go]

Susan you have become my conscience. I joined the Recallers program to train my stray rescue. I’ve never taken a stray into my home. I have always had pure bred pets that came pre packed with some training so they seemed to have an understanding of what was coming. However, the only training I knew or was taught in puppy classes was the “manufactured consent” form of training you mentioned in a podcast. I am now retired and have more time, although I’ve got to say I have no idea where it goes, and when I took Stevie into my home, I decided I wanted her to have the best life possible, which I believe comes from being a well trained, content, and happy puppy. I have never videoed a session. The kicker is I was a professional photographer and videographer at a major global corporation so I have all the gear and I have all the skills and still I never videoed a session. Starting today, I’m going to make the commitment to Stevie to videotape at least one training session a day. And as we get into that routine, I will start videotaping all of our sessions. Thank-you for your inspiration and all the phenomenal content you have in the program and for free on KZbin.

[@DogsThat]

@CH-iy4go Thank you for sharing your journey with Stevie-it’s truly inspiring! 🎉 Your commitment to giving her the best life is amazing, and we can’t wait to hear how the videoing helps you both grow. You've got this! 💕(Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@karenmcgrew5632]

You will make time for what you view as important. Thanks Susan!

[@jc20241]

I love the new training room. Looks great!

[@tocafish]

Years after my last dog Ella passed my family has made the decision to get another dog in about 4 to 5 months. For several years I’ve been scouring the internet for any and all content to help me be a better dog owner to maximize the health and happiness of my family and future family member. About four months ago I discovered your content and have been absolutely BINGE watching on Spotify!!! Your message has really resonated with me and has been incredibly inspirational and empowering. We couldn’t be more excited for the next chapter in adding a new family member and are ALL IN and committed to your process when the day comes. We will certainly be investing in your online courses. As a public school teacher for over 20 years I couldn’t be more impressed with your delivery, data informed instruction, and encouragement. Thank you for putting yourself out there, your energy is obvious and infectious. Your encouragement is unmatched. Thank you!!!

[@DogsThat]

Hi @tocafish , we're so happy you found our podcast and it resonates with you, also very excited for you getting a new dog! Keep us posted ❤️ (Elena ~ DogsThat Team)

[@cathynirenberg4392]

I try to video whenever I can. Fitness work to check things like form. Training - I think I cause 99% of "mistakes" and video helps me see what happened, what I did, what my dog did, and improve the next time. So valuable!

[@nrowland4103]

Yes. I have sat in the back of the classrooms and done nothing for far too long. Video taped a few times. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@barriehoughton5702]

I definitely need to do this more. I see the benefit, so I know I have to make the time to learn how to do it properly.

[@carinaothman4974]

❤Since joining your programs I am videoing more and more. It is fun to watch and then you can find the things you can improve❤ and when you watch the old ones you can see how much you have improved❤

[@LoneLupine]

When I first started watching your videos and did the nuance class (loved that one btw) I was videoing ALL my training sessions. It is incredibly helpful. It also made me realize that I'm doing better than I think I'm doing when I see the video playback, and also spot the mistakes! But, lately I haven't been as much, because I do think it's an emotional thing so I look forward to seeing that video. Maybe not in the way you mean, so I'm curious about that. But I do try to make a point to video my sessions. I've just fallen off a bit lately

[@Lilithliin]

Susan when I joined home school I could not get hand target and thought it was my dog and would never learn it but our coaches asked me for vidoe and with the help of my son I submitted one and the problem was I always moved my hand to my dogs nose and never rewarded near my target hand so once I fixed that we have a hand target that is so good and I am so proud of my dog and thankful for you and our coaches and me for finally learning to video

[@DogsThat]

Thanks for sharing this @Lilithliin! We love that it helped you and your dog, it's so important to video your training ❤️(Elena ~ DogsThat Team)

[@PamelaDalmatian]

My only real excuse is that I am in a constant battle of having any free space on my phone. I don’t subscribe to monthly backup apps, but do back up my content manually to a hard drive. Yet I still find it hard to delete and make space. Out of sight out of mind- all my backed up content is ‘lost’ and not easy to access. It’s like a junkyard of photos and video. 🙃 I’ve become so attached to what I have left. 😅 I can get 10GB chunks free, but it’s amazing how one training session can eat up most of that. 😢

[@PamelaDalmatian]

I only now finished watching this. You certainly inspired me! I just spent about ten minutes training, and took a minute to set up a tripod and take a video. I can’t wait for part two. I can imagine where you’re going, regarding peoples emotions stopping them from taking a video. I can think of a good correlating reason in favor of taking video. Training our dogs should be fun, for both our dogs, and ourselves. When our dogs are thinking and being shaped, they can be incredibly funny and smart. It’s a gift to yourself, to capture that. I said. It is a gift to yourself, to capture that. You won’t be sorry. ❤

[@JannekeVanderRos]

I videoet a few times but could not see what I did wrong, or right. I will give it a new try after watchin episode 133 tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me. Need some encouragement. So hope watching the videos will give better progress.

[@helenhargett8324]

I have an older model phone that only has 64gb of storage and I can't even do the updates as it is full. When I do video it is with an old Kodiak Play Station video camera and have to download to the computer. I usually only do it when I am trying to collect tricks or something to submit for and online title. I have no idea what model of iphone to update to.

[@ScottBagetis]

I was one of the many who was not often videoing my training sessions. You've convinced me to start. Why shouldn't I get the most out of Home School the Dog.

[@DogsThat]

[@carolynmvc]

I have used video for a lot of my dog training but, in my mind, it “seems” time consuming and just “one more thing”. You are right in that it doesn’t take much time, and it is SO valuable. I will agree to up my game this year!

[@DogsThat]

@carolynmvc We are glad you are on board with videoing your training and to hear that you are seeing it's value! (Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@vickirussell324]

I’m one of those not videoing my dog training sessions. Your recent podcast, however, really made me pause and reflect on why that is. Truthfully, it mostly comes down to laziness and a sense that it wouldn’t be valuable. The handful of times I did record a session, I didn’t know what to look for or how to adjust based on what I saw. Despite watching your podcasts and being a member of HSTD, Wag Nation, and Recallers, I’m still struggling with my pup (who, incidentally, is about two weeks older than your Prophet). That said, I’m ready to accept your challenge! I’ll start videoing my sessions and take a closer look at what’s happening. Thank you for the encouragement and the constant inspiration. -Vicki

[@DogsThat]

Hi @vickirussell324 , we love that you're accepting the challenge of videoing more of your training, and can't wait to hear about how that goes for you! Remember you can post videos inside our classroom for our wonderful coaches to give you feedback, they'll definitely help you see what to adjust and what to look for ❤️ (Elena ~ DogsThat Team)

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

Old pads/phones would be great for this! By which I mean that phone or tablet that got consigned to a drawer when you upgraded. They're still useful, so leaving it set up in your training area means you can just press record and you're good to go. I have difficulty videoing my sessions as I tend to grab a few minutes when I sense Zephyr is in the mood (today, for example was not it! 😂), but I'll make a concerted effort to try harder!

[@JanetBrydonWork]

Thank you Susan for the great info you share. When we were doing homeschool the dog, I videoed regularly now the training is less planned and often outside on a walk so not videoing then. My lovely, calm 3 yo labradoodle has recently become very reactive to other dogs on leash, so time to up my game too

[@DogsThat]

@JanetBrydonWork It sounds like you've got a great plan. You're on the right track to improving your dog's reactivity. Here is a podcast where Susan talks about reactivity while leash walking, and she includes some games that you may find helpful --> Leash Walking: Distracted, or Reactive Dog? These Games Will Help! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnaWpY2Yr7OahtE (Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@Runswithlabs]

I use video's to learn dog training and I ask someone to video us in every agility run. It is difficult to video myself when I'm training. I find watching every video taken of my and my dog where I went wrong.

[@christinemeaney]

I have not been videoing my dog training before BUT I am starting now to video my puppy

[@DogsThat]

That's fantastic, @christinemeaney! We are so glad you're on the path to better training! (Sarah - DogsThat)

[@pa5169]

I have only videoed my dog training once. It's too much work setting it up and making sure I capture the right thing at the right angle

[@maestrodog1]

I never videoed before joining your online classrooms. But I’m in the “less than 50%” category. My barrier is I get bored watching the video! If I have it going the whole time, to watch it is then double the training period itself…and frankly I get too restless watching. I only video when I’m really struggling, and want to ask for advice from online coaching. For those, I spend a surprising amount of time editing it down to a clip that is representative. I’d like to make it into the ‘video most of the time’ category, but right now I don’t see it happening.

[@DogsThat]

@maestrodog1 It sounds like you're already putting some great effort into training and understanding your dog! It’s great that you’re using video to help you with the more challenging aspects, and you’re making the most of it! Keep up the good work! (Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@jeffreyH360]

Those numbers surprised me. I video all formal training. I love going back and watching it after my lesson to see how good or bad it really was. Most of the time , it’s better than I felt it was.

[@haventli]

Do you record on your phone? How do you store all those videos? Or do you delete them when you are done?

[@DogsThat]

@jeffreyH360 It's wonderful to hear you're so dedicated to learning and improving your skills! 💚(Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@DogsThat]

I have a Samsung phone that I use just for videoing my training (it has no data or capabilities) and then I transferred to a portable hard drive. So yes, I do it all on my phone. I also have a iPhone that I use as my primary phone, and I will use that for my training videos for the odd time that I’m too rushed to do the hard drive transfer.

[@jeffreyH360]

@ I do an external hard drive years , years ago Susan had an good idea. she told us to put all the videos on KZbin under a private channel, use their storage ha ha

[@haventli]

Thank you for the practical, nitty gritty, tips!

[@RuffSportCanada]

Thank you❤I have 40,020 videos on my phone alone😆

[@haventli]

🤯 How do you have that much space for videos on your phone? Much less other places!

[@tiiuk]

It's a huge mental barrier...I took a firearms safety course years ago. On the exam, there was a Q about crossing a fence with a shotgun. What is the safe way to do that? One of the choices was - unload the shell/s, go over the fence, reload. I KNEW that was the correct choice but my brain said OMG, planning an ascent of Mt Everest would take less mental effort, that answer is so laborious....no, pick another option and I did and got that one answer wrong but a perfect score otherwise. That is how big the mental struggle is. Probably ADD. But I hear the message, believe the message and will work harder on driving my ice tool into the couloir taking one step up....

[@jamiekasper1648]

I guess the reason I don't video every session is setting everything up and placement of camera to get good results. I know it is a huge benefit. I guess I'm just lazy. I will definitely try harder to video our sessions

[@RuffSportCanada]

I didn’t see the pole! I do 75%, but don’t share enough!!! Pivot time!

[@Vetmaxx]

I wouldn't know where to put a cam, since I use the whole back yard, plus the 12 acres of our property backs up to a large wetland, full of turkey & deer. There are no fences anywhere. I cannot take him outside without either a lead or his Ecollar, because I have nightmares of him running after something & I never get him back. Or finding him dead from the coyotes. Yes, I use an ecollar & I hate using it but he's too over reactive to triggers. Sarge is a 30 lb Jaghund, or German hunting terrier. I started out thinking I could train him to be a service dog for me. He'll be 7 this May, and I'm still working on basic obedience training. He breaks training commands constantly, UNLESS I have his favorite toy. Then he's as snappy & on point as you could imagine. But if I take off the collar, Mr Hyde comes out. Because he knows I can't enforce the commands, so he doesn't need to behave. Just putting the collar on is enough. I don't usually need to use it. But I need it to be available, because once his prey drive engages he doesn't hear anything but run faster. If he sees a squirrel or we flush up a deer, he'll be 100 ft/30m away before I can say anything. No warning, just gone. I suppose I'd have to carry the phone/cam with me for training, but then I have to focus on that as well. The recorded info would be valuable, but not worth the frustration of collecting it. 🤷‍♂️

[@NovaTheMutt]

I know I 100% need help with my training skills I have 2 dogs that I can train no problem but I do have one dog that I have so much trouble training because I don't know what I'm doing 99% of the time 😅. I always record my training to see my process from the first video or the video before it has helped a lot to show my mistakes but it does not show me what I'M doing wrong.

[@OneKidsMom404]

Susan, I love you, your philosophy, all your dogs, etc. I fall into that category of only occasionally having done a video of my training. I do believe in the value, and the coaches on Recallers certainly have helped me. BUT... my dog (11 month old lab) eats (OK, chews, eviscerates) things. You name it, she chews it. Especially if she hasn't got enough exercise. This includes going after the tripod and the phone, which means I have to go through MANY planning steps to set it up to avoid being put in the position of having to rescue my camera or tripod from her jaws. Great game, mom! The vast majority of my training is "quickies" not formal, planned set up... and... I get discouraged with my own performance. Asking Ember to wait for me to set up the video really frustrates her. We are seeing progress, even without the videoing. I have come to accept that my progress will be slow. Heck, I'm over age 70, lots of things I am working on are slower than the average bear. Given I don't have a planned session? Guess what? I'm not setting up a video. I am playing games and bonding with my dog. So yeah, definitely less than 50% of the time. Am I willing to try to do it more? That's a solid "Maybe". Emotional barriers? I'm waiting for THAT podcast!

[@haventli]

Have you tried playing ityerchoice with the camera? It's helped me wonders to put my ityerchoice hand in front of things I don't want my dog to chew, she backups a little bit and waits for the treat, then I can redirect into a game.

[@OneKidsMom404]

@haventli I have not. I shall have to give this some thought as to how I can make this happen. Fair warning, she has already "eaten" two TV remotes. I cannot afford losing a phone to her.

[@haventli]

@@OneKidsMom404 If you are very nervous, you might consider putting your phone (or remotes) inside a container while you train the behavior. A leftover container with a clear lid? Then maybe outside the container but with the lid on top. Finally with it unprotected, but only after you have confidence your pup understands the itsyerchoice game with things you leave on the floor. I've trained itsyerchoice to include my foot hovering over the item (I have a very small, fast dog, that steals things like shes the Flash. I don't have time to bend down to save a dropped piece of food or small item.) Something like that might give you more confidence. Best of luck!

[@haventli]

@@OneKidsMom404 Maybe it goes without saying, but you should teach itsyerchoice with low value items first. It might be many sessions until you have the behavior trained enough you want to risk your phone even in a container. Maybe start with a treat, like Susan's videos show. Then move up to a piece of bark or a small stick from outside, something you don't care about and isn't going to hurt your dog. Then maybe a low value toy of your dogs, one you bought but they never really liked. Then maybe a toy they kind of like... and so on until you feel comfortable training on things you value. In the mean time you make sure all the items you care about or that are dangerous for your dog are put away (sounds like you are already the master at this!) This is managing the environment until the behavior is trained.

[@OneKidsMom404]

@@haventli IYC for leftover container would have to be trained first. She likes to steal these out of the dishwasher and shred them. I use the dishwasher lid as if it were a crate door for games to manage that, but we're not perfect at it yet. Patience and persistence as we train! It's all about priorities.

[@amywitkowski8141]

Thanks for the nudge

[@clarissamurch673]

I’d love to add that extra layer of video critique, but right now it’s all I can jungle to remember the commands, when and how to deliver the rewards and also keep my kids and other dog from disrupting the training session with my bouncy, energetic puppy! It already feels like too many moving pieces and adding one more thing on top of that just feels too hard. Maybe when we’ve got some basics down and I am calmer during training I will add that video piece on.

[@DogsThat]

@clarissamurch673 You’ve got this! Remember, consistency and patience are key. Your pup will learn in time. (Julie - DogsThat Team)

@ Thanks for the encouragement, done is better than perfect right? I’ll just keep adding one bit on at a time…

[@crazy2behere]

In the podcast you stress "taking video of your training sessions". I believe you. I do! But I don't do it. Why? I have the tripods, I have a Pivo, a phone, a big camera... I could do it. But, I find that even when I video a training session I don't sit down and review & critique it. I don't seem to have the critical thinking required to asses the video. So, please, Susan, don't just stress "taking" the video. Please tell me how to make the video "review" beneficial.

[@NataljaKowarik]

The only honest reason I've not recorded my training sessions, is being lazy! I'm definitely recording my sessions from now on!

[@DogMaxInc]

I video our training almost all the time but...I only look at what we've done a small fraction of that. Silly, right? I need to make a new habit of stopping my training to look at it and that's been my 'speed bump' to all of this. I think it's hard interrupting my momentum and losing our energy that trips me up.

[@jogrin-yates9722]

I sometimes video but will try and.do it more often

[@jozeepare9616]

I video pretty much all my training and trials: agility training/trials, canine fitness training/ challenge, scent detection training/ trial when allowed, hearding activity etc. Without video, I could never know what to correct personally or with my dog. No video eguals wasted training since you can't rate the session ! That's what I learned from you Susan! Big gems ! Thank you for starting me on the right foot! 💖🫶🐾🙋‍♀️

[@pamdavidson8431]

It never occurred to me to video training

[@heatherhelmes1234]

I'm definitely a non videoer. Not because I don't see the value, but because I rarely do formal training sessions. I pretty much train whenever I'm interacting with the dog on the fly, and mostly when we're out walking. It just seems like too much, especially with the snow and cold right now. I'd love videos, but in the moment can't deal with the fiddling with the technology to get it to work. I need a personal videographer to follow me around, lol. I guess I figure if the dog gets it, I'm doing it close enough. I don't have any big goals for my dogs. Just basic politeness and to make their life more interesting. I think I'm succeeding at least in the interesting part. Impulse control still needs work. Susan, I do love your training though, and recommend your programs to everyone I know looking for training.

[@kelseybilan268]

[@rjb9886]

My mindset needs to change because I hate seeing myself on video. I see all my flaws and none of the good then end up discouraged.

[@DogsThat]

Hi @rjb9886 , most of us have gone through that, but the benefits are huge, so please give it a try! (Elena ~ DogsThat Team)

[@susanc.8009]

There are things I’ve made an effort to teach and have given treats, however, there are words my dog has learned through repetition that I have never treated and he responds to as quickly as if he expects a treat. So, I think he has learned to just do what I say in general. Do you think that can be true?

[@haventli]

It's likely that your dog found something rewarding after you said the word that caused the to anticipate a fun thing after the word, there by learning the word. Maybe a belly scratch or some kind of play? Susan and team often reward their dog with a game of tug. In fact Susan's whole concept of transferring value is the deeper understanding of how to make things rewarding for your dog, not just treats but all sorts of things.

[@susanc.8009]

@ Only reward would be an occasional “good boy.” Maybe he responds so well because I often give a reward after saying those words in other situations?

[@haventli]

@susanc.8009 likely! By rewarding after you say those words, you have made those words valuable. One of Susans team might be able to comment more specifically on what's going on here.

[@Aaalllyyysssaaaaa]

absolutely, that is what it means to transfer the value of the treats to the value of doing what you say. Sounds like you're on a great track!

[@Aaalllyyysssaaaaa]

I have tried videoing, and for me it wasn't right! I think for some people, maybe most people, videotaping is helpful, and for some people it is counterproductive. I'm autistic, so I interact with most creatures a little differently than other people do. I am extremely aware of all my manners and actions, and the manners and actions of the dog, because that is how I learned to interact with other human beings, through learning, not intuition, and it carries over into how I train dogs. In a way that makes me really good at some aspects of dog training, like knowing exactly what I said and did, but in some ways, it is a big hinderance to my dog training. I get so bogged down with the details of a moment that I fail to see the forest for the trees. A normal brain will delete a lot of information as you process your surroundings, and that is for a very important reason - it helps you to interpret a situation, rather than just sit through it like it's a bombardment. THAT mechinism is what I need to practice in order to become a better dog trainer. When I play back a video of myself, all I can see is MORE unimportant details to get stuck on. You'd think seeing it again would help me see it with a new perspective, and have a better interpretation of what happened, but that's not the case. Watching it again, my brain does the same things it did when I experienced it the first time, except it gets even MORE hung up on details, and my understanding of what happened gets even FURTHER from reality. For someone like me, videotaping is very counterproductive, instead I need to do the opposite thing - the thing that helps me is to have a teacher with lots of experience, who is really good at interpreting what's going on. They watch me, and they can interpret what is happening, and tell me what stuff I should be ignoring, and which stuff I should be focusing on. That way my focus is narrowed, and I can understand and interpret things better. I save up for a long time, then a couple times a year I take a class, because dog training is super important to me and having a teacher helps me get exponentially better.

[@DogsThat]

@Aaalllyyysssaaaaa Thank you for sharing your insightful experience! It’s important to find what works best for you as an individual, and it sounds like you’ve found a great solution with the teacher-led approach. (Julie - DogsThat Team)

[@LorineKastenhuber]

I only video once in a while because it makes me uncomfortable

[@cliffjpm]

I have a great deal to comment on this but will try to be concise to avoid the TLDR. To help answer the question of why people don’t video, I wanted to share my own struggles. Earlier in my career, while I was supported by lots of people around me videoing, I was discouraged based on my own novice/poor performance. Over time, I just evolved to be more confident and don’t mind watching myself and my dog. So, I would encourage newbees to BE BRAVE! Second, it’s just hard to form a new pattern of behavior. I constantly have to remind myself to video. Thankfully I have a short checklist for training that reminds me that I need my iPhone and Tripod. But, even now, I will do a training exercise and end up saying, “You @#$#$ idiot. You forgot to hit record.” To that I say, be kind to yourself (kinder to yourself than I am) and just take it as a lesson learned and record the next one. Lastly, it does take extra time - time to set up the camera and time to review. All I can say to that is, “It’s worth it.” Listen to what Susan and Bob Bailey say about video review. Be mindful but also timebox yourself as not to spend too much time in analysis.
