How to Get Answers to Your Questions Online

Inside your course, scroll to the bottom of a lesson to type your questions and comments. This is the best way to reach us.
At the top right of the lesson (near your profile picture), you can type keywords into the SEARCH box e.g. "odor hygiene".
You can create your own YouTube Channel and post your videos there. Then copy and paste the link into your comments. (Make sure you set your video privacy to unlisted or public so we can see it.)
Join our Private Students' Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScentDetectionStudents/, where you can talk about scent detection with international alumni and post your training videos.
Due to the volume of correspondence, I'm sorry we cannot provide private coaching via texts or emails. Please post your training videos and questions online (on Facebook or inside your course).
Need more information about the steps? Keep reading for a video that walks you through all the steps.

Close-up: How to Ask Questions Online

This video is a screen recording that shows you the steps to ask questions online.

Are you taking advantage of the opportunity to ask questions online? Please reach out and get the most out of your experience in Hunter's Heart courses.

FACEBOOK OR ONLINE COURSES

I'm here to help. There are 2 main places to ask Hunter's Heart questions online:

1) In the Private Facebook Group for Hunter's Heart Students & Alumni. It's my intention to continue to offer this group as long as Facebook is available.

2) If you're enrolled in an online course, scroll down to the bottom of a lesson and type your question into the comments section. Please note that some courses may have an expiry date, usually 6 months. If life gets in the way and you need to extend your finish date, ask Carla by emailing [email protected].

VIDEO FEEDBACK

If you want feedback on a short training video, please edit your video down to 3 minutes or less. Once you post your video to YouTube, copy the link (it's "URL"), and paste it into your question (on Facebook or in the Hunter's Heart course). You don't need to make the link live with an underline. I can cut and paste your link into my web browser.

HOW TO POST YOUR VIDEO ON YOUTUBE

Check out Kevin Stratvert's video of how to post your video on YouTube (using your phone or PC): https://youtu.be/VtF2AgFSLAw

If you don't want the general public to see your video, set your video's privacy to "Unlisted" instead of "Public". If you turn on comments, then I can type times into the comments so you can quickly and easily watch that instant of the video.

SORRY, NO PRIVATE LESSONS BY TEXT OR EMAIL

Due to the volume of correspondence, I’m sorry I can’t provide private training by text or email. Please ask your questions online (via Facebook, or inside the lesson in the Comments section), so everyone can learn. Or email Carla at [email protected] to ask about pricing and availability of private lessons and one-on-one coaching.

TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED HELP WITH

If you're having trouble and you can't post video, don't just tell me what your dog "won't do". Don't get stuck labeling the dog with names like "stubborn" or "reactive". Instead, please tell me what criteria you're using for success in that session (what you're working on), what behaviors your dog is performing instead, and what was the last successful step in the training progression where your dog succeeded.

Usually, problems happen when the handler pushes too hard too fast, changing too many things so the dog doesn't know what to do. Go back to the last step where you were successful, then make a plan for how to break down the challenge into smaller, more easily achievable baby steps. And always, don't forget to have fun.

GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR COURSE

I'm here to help, and I want you to succeed. Online questions and comments are always welcome in your private Facebook group or course. Let me know how you're doing.
