Here we are, mid-October, time to begin our second round, and time to post your stated goal and a short clip if applicable of the present non-compliance (or problem, if goal is based on solving an existing problem).
Make your goal-statement post here any time between now and midnight 10/23/13.
The deadline for your actual finished clip (your entry!) will be midnight 11/19/13.
Good luck to everyone!

Amber knows how to do target ( touching her nose to my hand) she's almost always reliable. I was going to have her target with my hand held at shoulder level so she has to jump up. Only thing is I don't know if I can get a video from my phone.

Can you just set it up on a stool or counter or maybe a counter with a few books stacked on ... ? Fool around until you have an idea of the floor space you must occupy and then mark it off, maybe with tape?
Plenty of time to get it set up.  Or even to get another person to do it for you!
You will want to include a little clip, because as we discovered in round one, it's MUCH easier to judge if we can see "we started here and now we are here!"

To clarify, I don't have to send the clip now? Just start it and attach it to the final? I have a dumb phone and broke the screen so that's where the problem lies.

Could someone else do a tiny little pre-start clip for you, by midnight next Wednesday?
Or .... did you mean you could make the "starting here" clip now but not actually post it until you post your final "what we accomplished" clip? That would be OK, too.
If "just start it and attach to the final" means you will still be able to post both, but all at the end of the contest, that sounds just fine.
In the first one, there was really a major advantage when the judges were able to see the starting point and then how far you were able to get.
ETA
See two posts down for a much better beginning-clip explanation.

Here is some clarification/update on the first short clip ... the one of "where we started."
If your goal is to correct an existing problem, then yes, a short clip of that would be good with your signup.
But for a new behavior, it was pointed out to me in more than one PM (  ), then including your first training session along with your final submission would be just great.
All it is, is showing "we started here and we got to here." Whatever is your easiest way is
just fine.
Please don't let lack of a pre-training video clip keep you from signing up here with your stated goal!

My apologies if this has already been mentioned somewhere, but there have been several different threads and I'm having trouble remembering.
Is there a "theme" for this contest? Or is it "anything goes" like the last time?

Pretty close to "anything goes," but within a framework of "... a broad category of scent discrimination or .... place/item recognition ... very broad .....these broad categories would open up the door to finding and retrieving an object, going to a place and staying there, indicating an object, word recognition type games, etc. "

has more detail and even lots of suggestions.

Thanks for the link! I was thinking we had talked about the broad category of scent discrimination.
