| 0:00.0 | Imagine if one of the best dog trainers in the world told you, your dog training could |
| 0:06.7 | exponentially improved if you just own this one thing. |
| 0:12.2 | There's a very good chance if that dog trainer is somebody you believed in, you would |
| 0:16.8 | run out and get that very one thing, correct? |
| 0:20.2 | Like let's say if that very one thing was |
| 0:22.1 | like under $50. Like, why not, right? Why not? Yet in Shape by Dog episode number 133, |
| 0:28.9 | I shared this one thing that would exponentially improve every single person's dog training. |
| 0:40.9 | And I've come to find out, not many of you have gone out and got it. |

| 1:42.7 | And if you don't have a smartphone and you're listening |
| 1:46.3 | to this podcast, maybe at the library, then I bet you could get a GoPro and you could be |
| 1:51.9 | videoing your training that way. So, last week, I wondered, how many people actually video their dog |
| 1:58.0 | training? So, my team put up a survey on social media asking that |
| 2:01.9 | question. And the four categories were I video my training almost 100% of the time. And I said |
