I plan to implement a paid subscription option that acts as a fund to cover the costs of training for owners who can't afford it but need it. It is my hope that 100% of proceeds will go to this fund. However I would like to provide an incentive for your choice to pay. Which incentive would you find the most valuable? You can also comment other ideas if you have any.

Are you ready to put your training to the test and strengthen your dog’s recall skills? This week’s Community Challenge focuses on long-distance recall—a vital skill for safety and obedience that also deepens the bond between you and your dog. How It Works The goal is simple: see how far you can step away from your dog and successfully recall them! By following the steps in the Recall Module, you’ll build a reliable recall at increasing distances. Here’s how to participate: 1. Start Small 2. Gradually Increase Distance 3. Share Your Progress Inspiration I’ll kick things off by posting a video of my dog successfully recalling from a long distance after a sit command. Watch, get inspired, and challenge yourself to see how far you can go! Why Participate? - Improve your dog’s recall under real-world conditions. - Celebrate small wins and gradual progress. - Get feedback and encouragement from the community. - Pro Tip for Success Make sure to practice in a distraction-free environment at first. Once your dog is consistent, gradually add distractions to simulate real-life situations. Let’s see who can set the record for the longest recall! Remember, it’s not a competition—it’s about building skills and having fun with your dog. 🐾 Post your videos, ask questions, and share your experiences in the challenge thread. Let’s support each other on this journey! Ready, set, recall! 🚀
