I worked on a lot of things last year some which went live in hard fork 25 already or will go live soon with hard fork 26. To name a few, RC delegations, recurrent transfers or communities V2. I would love to continue working on hive for a third year on the next hard fork, communities and everything else. I am looking for support on my renewed proposal as the current one will expire soon.

Intent is purposeful doing and purposeful doing as a habit changes everything.</center></h4>\n<p>Tricks, drills, and skills have various purposes. Handlers must approach those skills with proper intent in order to capitalize on the various purposes of tricks, drills, and skills.</p>\n<p>A zig zag can be thrown for competition. A zig zag can be thrown for reinforcement of the cued Drop. A zig zag can be thrown to speed a dog up, shorten an outrun, slow a dog down. A zig zag can be thrown for Big Leaping or leap training. All that need change is the handler’s intent.</p>\n<p><br />If you have never thrown a zig zag with the intent to make your dog leap, and leap well, go out and do it now. Seriously, put the book down and do it if possible. We’ll wait…</p>\n<p><center>——</center></p>\n<p>The change in a zig zag when trying to make the dog leap is pretty amazing. The pattern changes. The communication between dog and handler changes. Your ability to place targets changes. The whole thing turns into some kind of living creature for a bit. Such is the Way of Purpose.</p>\n<p>The handler gets what they intend, the end. If you go out to not make mistakes and hit all your hard tricks? Great, your purpose was to be mediocre. You’ll get 80% on both, like usual, and have nothing to show for it.</p>\n<p>Shifting your intent. “I’m gonna showcase my dog.” “I’m gonna smash these 5 tricks.” “This round is about flow.” Even,”This round is about Catching.” Not mediocre, totally achievable, and filled with purpose; intent matters.</p>\n<p>You can and will do those things and you will get better at them in the future. Intent is a key to finding the way of things.</p>\n<center>——</center></p>\n<p>Hitting Satori, or the Zone, while focusing on Intent or Playing with Purpose is quite hard, but not impossible. While you are not likely to have the performance of your life kind of Zone feeling, it is possible to really groove in the Zone within your Purpose driven play or while playing with Intent. It’s just a slightly different perspective.</p>\n<p>Intending to hit the Zone is probably a disaster in the making; it screams at trying or is the hidden way of the master. And if you truly think you can intend to do it with a dog at will, you’re probably not the master.</p>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://pvybe.com/disc-dog-life/tao-of-disc-dog-intent-purpose-and-satori/ </em><hr/></center>    ",

      "body": "<center>https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Epic-Yachi-Vault-Feature.jpeg</center> <br/><p><div class=\"pull-right\"><em>Sneak Peak Access for Patrons Only... Public Access Dec 7</em></div></p>\n<p>I've done a few routines in my day; from choreography in chorale in HS to a few national championship collegiate cheerleading runs to world final disc dog routines. There many ways to do a routine, here are a few formats I've identified.</p>\n<h3>Smack ‘em in the face... Coast... Smack ‘em to Close</h3><center> <img class=\"wp-image-24546 size-full\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/loot-yachi-disc-dog-vault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" /></a> Smack 'em at the beginning and Smack 'em at the close is the format that Loot and I tend to use. We don't have a ton of sequences because he doesn't flip so well. So we rely on big tricks like this spinning vault on the run. We smash the open and smash the close - make a strong first impression and leave them with something memorable.</center>\n<p>Back in the day, this was the only one way to build a routine for me. Anything else seemed weak and unserious. Times have changed though, but this format for a routine is still super solid for anyone with a few cool tricks or sequences. </p>\n<p>The theory is to bookend your routine with your strongest or most important 2 sequences. Start with a jaw-dropper and finish with a jaw-dropper. This makes people sit up and take notice at the start and remember how bad ass the performance was at the finish. The middle is filled with good stuff, but can be considered coasting. It is a great method; tried and true. </p>\n<p>This routine format is not without risk though. If you miss your open, the smack in the face can seem pretentious and weak. If you miss your close, the memories are not of your badass-iness, but of a weak performance. </p>\n<p>If your stuff is not lights out amazing, it can set up ho-hum expectations that are fulfilled with a ho-hum ending. It really is not for everyone. Sorry to all our old skool clients who were given this as the only, or best way to build a routine. Live and learn, but always love doing it. </p>\n<h3>Build to Overload and Pile On</h3><center> <img class=\"size-full wp-image-33060\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Epic-Juggle-1000.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" /></a> Building up and Piling on is totally Epic's gig. This is an Epic Juggle, a big flip followed by a fishing multiple that ends in a Front Side Back Stall. It's exactly the kind of sequence that defines the Build Up then Pile on format.</center>\n<p>This is something of a newer method for me. It's what I tried to apply with Eppie this year at the USDDN, and to a lesser extent at UPDIF.</p>\n<p>The idea is to start safe and strong and to build the intensity through the middle. Once you're at peak performance, keep going. The intent is to make people start to roll their eyes right after the half way point - \"WHAT!!!?\" ... \"C'mon!\"... \"No Way\" ... \"Did that really happen!\" - with the end goal being silent awe. </p>\n<p>I really like this format for teams that have a wide variety of tricks and skills and for teams that display tons of creativity. It's also a great way to showcase a dog that might not be the biggest athlete on the field or a highly tuned, well connected team. Punches in bunches do more damage than a single big punch - or so the theory goes. </p>\n<p>I think this works for Epic and I. It probably wouldn't be a good fit for me and Loot. </p>\n<h3>Pillar of Consistency</h3>\n<p>It's not really the sexiest format out there, but it sure is functional, a Pillar of Consistency routine is just that; solid all the way through. </p>\n<p>This is great for newer teams, young dogs, inexperienced handlers, and is the goto for the Technician player archetype and toss and fetch specialist.</p>\n<p>Elements of the formats above can be added it, but the focus is on a top to bottom, rock solid routine.  The key is to keep it moving and keep it fun. Lots of smiles and a few strategic pauses to highlight the amazing teamwork required to pull off a great round of disc dog freestyle. </p>\n<h3>Storytelling or Narrative</h3>\n<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNcNk44MCIM&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Telling a story or crafting a narrative can be a terrific routine building format. Personally, I find it the most difficult to pull off, and professionally I see it much the same. </p>\n<p>That is not to say it isn't cool, or not a good method, but I think it's pretty tough to play top shelf disc while telling a story. And to top it off you have to tell a story, and tell it well enough, that anyone can follow it. </p>\n<p>This method is most often used by the Showman player archetype and it relies on a good fit between the music, the style of play, and the type of dog. handler, and team. </p>\n<p>Often hitting on particular beats and relying on crowd participation, pulling off this kind of routine at a major contest is tough but the results are totally worth it. It can be the most compelling of all formats due to the emotive investment and response of the crowd. </p>\n<p>The rise of UpDog and the Performance Freestyle round has made this routine format much more accessible to the average team. Including costumes and props makes the storytelling and the reception of the narrative by the crowd and judges that much easier.

Public Access Dec 7</em></div></p>\n<p>I've done a few routines in my day; from choreography in chorale in HS to a few national championship collegiate cheerleading runs to world final disc dog routines. There many ways to do a routine, here are a few formats I've identified.</p>\n<h3>Smack ‘em in the face... Coast... Smack ‘em to Close</h3><center> <img class=\"wp-image-24546 size-full\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/loot-yachi-disc-dog-vault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" /></a> Smack 'em at the beginning and Smack 'em at the close is the format that Loot and I tend to use. We don't have a ton of sequences because he doesn't flip so well. So we rely on big tricks like this spinning vault on the run. We smash the open and smash the close - make a strong first impression and leave them with something memorable.</center>\n<p>Back in the day, this was the only one way to build a routine for me. Anything else seemed weak and unserious. Times have changed though, but this format for a routine is still super solid for anyone with a few cool tricks or sequences. </p>\n<p>The theory is to bookend your routine with your strongest or most important 2 sequences. Start with a jaw-dropper and finish with a jaw-dropper. This makes people sit up and take notice at the start and remember how bad ass the performance was at the finish. The middle is filled with good stuff, but can be considered coasting. It is a great method; tried and true. </p>\n<p>This routine format is not without risk though. If you miss your open, the smack in the face can seem pretentious and weak. If you miss your close, the memories are not of your badass-iness, but of a weak performance. </p>\n<p>If your stuff is not lights out amazing, it can set up ho-hum expectations that are fulfilled with a ho-hum ending. It really is not for everyone. Sorry to all our old skool clients who were given this as the only, or best way to build a routine. Live and learn, but always love doing it. </p>\n<h3>Build to Overload and Pile On</h3><center> <img class=\"size-full wp-image-33060\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Epic-Juggle-1000.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" /></a> Building up and Piling on is totally Epic's gig. This is an Epic Juggle, a big flip followed by a fishing multiple that ends in a Front Side Back Stall. It's exactly the kind of sequence that defines the Build Up then Pile on format.</center>\n<p>This is something of a newer method for me. It's what I tried to apply with Eppie this year at the USDDN, and to a lesser extent at UPDIF.</p>\n<p>The idea is to start safe and strong and to build the intensity through the middle. Once you're at peak performance, keep going. The intent is to make people start to roll their eyes right after the half way point - \"WHAT!!!?\" ... \"C'mon!\"... \"No Way\" ... \"Did that really happen!\" - with the end goal being silent awe. </p>\n<p>I really like this format for teams that have a wide variety of tricks and skills and for teams that display tons of creativity. It's also a great way to showcase a dog that might not be the biggest athlete on the field or a highly tuned, well connected team. Punches in bunches do more damage than a single big punch - or so the theory goes. </p>\n<p>I think this works for Epic and I. It probably wouldn't be a good fit for me and Loot. </p>\n<h3>Pillar of Consistency</h3>\n<p>It's not really the sexiest format out there, but it sure is functional, a Pillar of Consistency routine is just that; solid all the way through. </p>\n<p>This is great for newer teams, young dogs, inexperienced handlers, and is the goto for the Technician player archetype and toss and fetch specialist.</p>\n<p>Elements of the formats above can be added it, but the focus is on a top to bottom, rock solid routine.  The key is to keep it moving and keep it fun. Lots of smiles and a few strategic pauses to highlight the amazing teamwork required to pull off a great round of disc dog freestyle. </p>\n<h3>Storytelling or Narrative</h3>\n<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNcNk44MCIM&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Telling a story or crafting a narrative can be a terrific routine building format. Personally, I find it the most difficult to pull off, and professionally I see it much the same. </p>\n<p>That is not to say it isn't cool, or not a good method, but I think it's pretty tough to play top shelf disc while telling a story. And to top it off you have to tell a story, and tell it well enough, that anyone can follow it. </p>\n<p>This method is most often used by the Showman player archetype and it relies on a good fit between the music, the style of play, and the type of dog. handler, and team. </p>\n<p>Often hitting on particular beats and relying on crowd participation, pulling off this kind of routine at a major contest is tough but the results are totally worth it. It can be the most compelling of all formats due to the emotive investment and response of the crowd. </p>\n<p>The rise of UpDog and the Performance Freestyle round has made this routine format much more accessible to the average team. Including costumes and props makes the storytelling and the reception of the narrative by the crowd and judges that much easier. And the effects on people's emotional state much greater.</p>\n<h3>It's Not Which or Either Or - Combination Can Be Key</h3>\n<p>Choosing a routine format does not have to be an either or proposition.

Public Access Dec 7</em></div></p>\n<p>I've done a few routines in my day; from choreography in chorale in HS to a few national championship collegiate cheerleading runs to world final disc dog routines. There many ways to do a routine, here are a few formats I've identified.</p>\n<h3>Smack ‘em in the face... Coast... Smack ‘em to Close</h3><center> <img class=\"wp-image-24546 size-full\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/loot-yachi-disc-dog-vault.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"></a> Smack 'em at the beginning and Smack 'em at the close is the format that Loot and I tend to use. We don't have a ton of sequences because he doesn't flip so well. So we rely on big tricks like this spinning vault on the run. We smash the open and smash the close - make a strong first impression and leave them with something memorable.</center>\n<p>Back in the day, this was the only one way to build a routine for me. Anything else seemed weak and unserious. Times have changed though, but this format for a routine is still super solid for anyone with a few cool tricks or sequences.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The theory is to bookend your routine with your strongest or most important 2 sequences. Start with a jaw-dropper and finish with a jaw-dropper. This makes people sit up and take notice at the start and remember how bad ass the performance was at the finish. The middle is filled with good stuff, but can be considered coasting. It is a great method; tried and true.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This routine format is not without risk though. If you miss your open, the smack in the face can seem pretentious and weak. If you miss your close, the memories are not of your badass-iness, but of a weak performance.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If your stuff is not lights out amazing, it can set up ho-hum expectations that are fulfilled with a ho-hum ending. It really is not for everyone. Sorry to all our old skool clients who were given this as the only, or best way to build a routine. Live and learn, but always love doing it.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Build to Overload and Pile On</h3><center> <img class=\"size-full wp-image-33060\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Epic-Juggle-1000.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\"></a> Building up and Piling on is totally Epic's gig. This is an Epic Juggle, a big flip followed by a fishing multiple that ends in a Front Side Back Stall. It's exactly the kind of sequence that defines the Build Up then Pile on format.</center>\n<p>This is something of a newer method for me. It's what I tried to apply with Eppie this year at the USDDN, and to a lesser extent at UPDIF.</p>\n<p>The idea is to start safe and strong and to build the intensity through the middle. Once you're at peak performance, keep going. The intent is to make people start to roll their eyes right after the half way point - \"WHAT!!!?\" ... \"C'mon!\"... \"No Way\" ... \"Did that really happen!\" - with the end goal being silent awe.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I really like this format for teams that have a wide variety of tricks and skills and for teams that display tons of creativity. It's also a great way to showcase a dog that might not be the biggest athlete on the field or a highly tuned, well connected team. Punches in bunches do more damage than a single big punch - or so the theory goes.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I think this works for Epic and I. It probably wouldn't be a good fit for me and Loot.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Pillar of Consistency</h3>\n<p>It's not really the sexiest format out there, but it sure is functional, a Pillar of Consistency routine is just that; solid all the way through.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This is great for newer teams, young dogs, inexperienced handlers, and is the goto for the Technician player archetype and toss and fetch specialist.</p>\n<p>Elements of the formats above can be added it, but the focus is on a top to bottom, rock solid routine.&nbsp; The key is to keep it moving and keep it fun. Lots of smiles and a few strategic pauses to highlight the amazing teamwork required to pull off a great round of disc dog freestyle.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Storytelling or Narrative</h3>\n<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNcNk44MCIM&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Telling a story or crafting a narrative can be a terrific routine building format. Personally, I find it the most difficult to pull off, and professionally I see it much the same.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That is not to say it isn't cool, or not a good method, but I think it's pretty tough to play top shelf disc while telling a story. And to top it off you have to tell a story, and tell it well enough, that anyone can follow it.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This method is most often used by the Showman player archetype and it relies on a good fit between the music, the style of play, and the type of dog. handler, and team.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Often hitting on particular beats and relying on crowd participation, pulling off this kind of routine at a major contest is tough but the results are totally worth it. It can be the most compelling of all formats due to the emotive investment and response of the crowd.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The rise of UpDog and the Performance Freestyle round has made this routine format much more accessible to the average team. Including costumes and props makes the storytelling and the reception of the narrative by the crowd and judges that much easier. And the effects on people's emotional state much greater.</p>\n<h3>It's Not Which or Either Or - Combination Can Be Key</h3>\n<p>Choosing a routine format does not have to be an either or proposition. In fact, great routines often have elements from all of these formats.&nbsp;Don't limit yourself, pigeon hole the dog, or paint the team into a corner. Just be aware of these formats and find something that works for you.&nbsp;</p>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://pvybe.com/disc-dog-training/on-routine-building/performance-formats-of-routines/ </em><hr/></center>    ",

We've got thousands of followers, friends, and fans who seem to enjoy our content on a daily basis and we've got tiers of support available starting at $1 per month. It should be a good fit.</p>\n<p>Together, we can keep the PVybe Free content train rollin'.</p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=802385\" data-patreon-widget-type=\"become-patron-button\">Become a Patron!</a><script async=\"\" src=\"https://c6.patreon.com/becomePatronButton.bundle.js\"></script></center></p>\n<p>Need more convincing? Read on for a bit more of the Black Friday pitch...</p>\n<p></p>\n<h3>A Long History of Complimentary Content</h3>\n<p>For 15 years we have freely given away our knowledge to the disc dog and dog training community. We've put out tons of free content depending on the long tail profits of social media sharing, personal interaction, and word of mouth. 700+ videos, 700+ blog posts, and 300 lessons, thousands and thousands of forum posts (anyone remember <a href=\"https://k9disc.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">k9disc.com</a>?) all pointed towards growing our business while growing your game and train and the game and train itself. </p>\n<p>I really want to keep rolling with this stuff - teaching and learning is our passion, but the long tail of social media profits is not a sustainable path. It just isn't putting food in the bowl anymore.</p>\n<h3>Times Change So It's Time to Change</h3>\n<p>Between the fickle nature of the dominant social media companies changing their business models, algorithms, and applications and the inability of perspective camp clients to pony up hundreds of dollars plus travel, it is just not working for us.</p>\n<p>I can't keep cranking out content and devote the time required for learning to teach this stuff without monetary support. It's time to <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">try something new</a>. </p>\n<p>It's time to ask you, our readers, viewers, listeners, friends, and clients to <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">support Pawsitive Vybe</a>, not on a project by project or product by product nature, but as <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">patrons - personal sponsors - teammates and members of the crew</a>. It's time for us - you Apryl, and I, - to genuinely interact with each other and our content. </p>\n<h3>Things Change Yet Remain the Same</h3>\n<p>Not much will change. We'll keep kicking out the high quality free content, you'll keep gobbling it up and pushing the performance envelope to inspire us to create more. The only differences are that some of you will be kicking in a few bucks per month to help us keep it going and we will be relying on more on our patrons for direction and timely community feedback on our content. </p>\n<p>I hope you will <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">consider becoming a Patron of Pawsitive Vybe</a> on this Black Friday. It's a pretty solid deal. </p>\n<h4><em>PS - It is the last day of the month. Patron payments post today, that means you'll pay today for November and tomorrow for December. If that's a problem in terms of money, wait until tomorrow. But if you can swing it, <strong>we surely would appreciate it and will make it up to you.</strong> </em></h4><center> <img class=\"wp-image-32997 size-full\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-29-at-7.30.48-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1212\" height=\"795\" /> A screenshot of the Pawsitive Vybe Patreon Page...

Rockslides can flow. Sand flows through the hourglass. The smoother and more flexible the stuff, the more flexible and fluid the flow. Such is the Way of things that flow.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Everyone should be shooting for water:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p4\"><em>“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”</em></p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><em>~ Bruce Lee</em></p>\n\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Tao of DiscDog seeks to create that granular flow, the ability to be like water in thought and action. There are many ways, methodologies and tools for moving water; paddles, wheels, tubes, walls, channels, plugs, gravity, throwing big stones, propellers, a straw, etc.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">These are like martial arts styles from silly to legit, and they represent all the various types of techniques and physical processes that can be use to make water flow.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Styles are metaphors, analogs and frameworks of quality play. They often conceal important basic physical principles that exist whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. Styles are loaded with hidden mechanisms, actions, reactions, and overlap - like the paddle and a propeller.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Flow is being intimately familiar with the basics of the game: how do we move and work together to set up getting the thing? “How we work together to set up the thing” is the Way of Freestyle. It’s ultimately what we’re doing and what is happening out there. Everything else is just fanciness and a finish to good work.</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Chasing tricks and scores mistakes fanciness for utility. The fancy tools are not able to be used if you don’t know how to set them up, measure, and use them. If you know the details of the work you can use the fancy tools with ease to great ends.</p>\n<p class=\"p6\">——</p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Try moving your boat with a plug, tube, and gravity or transfer water from one tub to another with a propeller. Not much flow going to happen in those two situations and odds are you won’t look very cool trying to do it either.</p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\" style=\"text-align: center;\">To flow, knowing the Way of Things comes before tool selection and trick performance.</h3>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://pvybe.com/disc-dog-life/tao-of-disc-dog-there-is-no-faking-flow/ </em><hr/></center>    ",

That is not an accident. Disc Management is down there as well simply because we’ve got to lay things out before we polish them up or pull them because they won’t work.</div>\n</div>\n<h3 class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"vjsh-0-0\">Components vs Composition</h3>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"ci52f\" data-offset-key=\"5iooa-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"5iooa-0-0\">Tricks and skills are component elements of the routine. Think of your routine like a song. In a song, the melody, harmony, and lyrics are key components, but they are not nearly as important as the composition of the song. Sure it might be a nice hook with some talented singers and cool sounds, but if the composition is crap, the component elements will probably not carry the tune.</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"ci52f\" data-offset-key=\"ccj27-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"ccj27-0-0\">Composition takes into account the time signature, rhythm, and vocals, and is more about the tone and arrangement of musical components rather than the components themselves.</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"_2TO-components-SimpleRichTextEditor--paragraphElement\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"ci52f\" data-offset-key=\"aml6k-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"aml6k-0-0\">Poor composition can make the best musical components sound flat.

We've got thousands of followers, friends, and fans who seem to enjoy our content on a daily basis and we've got tiers of support available starting at $1 per month. It should be a good fit.</p>\n<p>Together, we can keep the PVybe Free content train rollin'.</p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=802385\" data-patreon-widget-type=\"become-patron-button\">Become a Patron!</a><script async=\"\" src=\"https://c6.patreon.com/becomePatronButton.bundle.js\"></script></center></p>\n<p>Need more convincing? Read on for a bit more of the Black Friday pitch...</p>\n<p></p>\n<h3>A Long History of Complimentary Content</h3>\n<p>For 15 years we have freely given away our knowledge to the disc dog and dog training community. We've put out tons of free content depending on the long tail profits of social media sharing, personal interaction, and word of mouth. 700+ videos, 700+ blog posts, and 300 lessons, thousands and thousands of forum posts (anyone remember <a href=\"https://k9disc.wordpress.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">k9disc.com</a>?) all pointed towards growing our business while growing your game and train and the game and train itself. </p>\n<p>I really want to keep rolling with this stuff - teaching and learning is our passion, but the long tail of social media profits is not a sustainable path. It just isn't putting food in the bowl anymore.</p>\n<h3>Times Change So It's Time to Change</h3>\n<p>Between the fickle nature of the dominant social media companies changing their business models, algorithms, and applications and the inability of perspective camp clients to pony up hundreds of dollars plus travel, it is just not working for us.</p>\n<p>I can't keep cranking out content and devote the time required for learning to teach this stuff without monetary support. It's time to <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">try something new</a>. </p>\n<p>It's time to ask you, our readers, viewers, listeners, friends, and clients to <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">support Pawsitive Vybe</a>, not on a project by project or product by product nature, but as <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">patrons - personal sponsors - teammates and members of the crew</a>. It's time for us - you Apryl, and I, - to genuinely interact with each other and our content. </p>\n<h3>Things Change Yet Remain the Same</h3>\n<p>Not much will change. We'll keep kicking out the high quality free content, you'll keep gobbling it up and pushing the performance envelope to inspire us to create more. The only differences are that some of you will be kicking in a few bucks per month to help us keep it going and we will be relying on more on our patrons for direction and timely community feedback on our content. </p>\n<p>I hope you will <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/PVybe\">consider becoming a Patron of Pawsitive Vybe</a> on this Black Friday. It's a pretty solid deal. </p>\n<h4><em>PS - It is the last day of the month. Patron payments post today, that means you'll pay today for November and tomorrow for December. If that's a problem in terms of money, wait until tomorrow. But if you can swing it, <strong>we surely would appreciate it and will make it up to you.</strong> </em></h4><center> <img class=\"size-medium wp-image-32997\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Screen-Shot-2019-11-29-at-7.30.48-AM-300x197.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" /> A screenshot of the Pawsitive Vybe Patreon Page...

Binary is 2 and there is no balance in On vs Off. Balance is 3.</p>\n<p class=\"p3\">This side, that side, and the shared surface between them. Most of the time we as humans miss that, detail and it often is not important. But the 3<sup>rd</sup> part of balance is paramount. The shared surface between the two, the fulcrum in the middle of the teeter, they define and control balance. <em><strong>That 3<sup>rd</sup> part is often you, your choice, your action, your intent, your location and orientation.</strong></em></p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Placing yourself, your intent, your honest and self expressive action within the whole, to be weighed and measured <i>within the balanced whole</i> delivers a completely different sense of balance. It reveals an innate sense of balance instead of <i>looking for</i> or <i>seeking</i> balance from the outside in. An inside, skin in the game perspective provides personal and precise insight into the game.</p>\n<p class=\"p3\">In real life, binary choices don’t exist. There is always a hidden or unexplored 3<sup>rd</sup> option. That hidden 3<sup>rd</sup> option is special. Find it and adjust the balance.</p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The Tao of DiscDog often sees three aspects for balance, and it is the 3<sup>rd</sup> part that is of interest, importance, or difficulty:</p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Dog, Handler, and Team<br />Bite, Drop, and Give<br />Bite, Drop, and Carry<br />On, While, Off<br />Distance, Height, Time</p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Competence in disc dog freestyle requires balance in dog training, handling, and throwing. 2 of 3 <i>might </i>be enough, but true competence requires all 3 of these skills at base level. Of course there are other skills involved, but these 3 are absolutely key and can’t be faked for long.</p>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://pvybe.com/disc-dog-life/tao-of-disc-dog-on-balance/ </em><hr/></center>    ",

I'll wait and fill some time with some background.</p>\n<h3>Do You Have an Answer?</h3>\n<p>If you've been to camps over the last 4 or 5 years, you've most likely heard me ask this important question. You have also probably seen the looks of confusion on people's faces when confronted with the question, or perhaps experienced some befuddlement yourself.  </p>\n<p>Having an answer, a logical and distinctive answer, to this question is a must for dog trainers and dog sport aficionados. That said, few trainers have that answer and it becomes a difference without distinction. </p>\n<p>So do you have an answer? If you do, and it differs from the one I'm going to lay out here in a moment, go ahead and drop it in the comment section below. This is a question that I'm quite interested in.</p>\n<h3><center>The difference between a Wait and a Stay (duration behavior) is that <em>a Stay releases to, and only to, the release word</em>, while the <em>Wait releases to a conditioned response</em>.</center></h3><center> <img class=\"wp-image-32785 size-full\" src=\"https://pvybe.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/IMG_08071.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" /> Loot has a solid wait. A Wait is the most important behavior for successful vaulting. Without a wait getting started in sync and in time is nearly impossible. Loot is waiting for the presentation of the vaulting platform, a conditioned response, before releasing to the vault.</center>\n<h3>Why It Matters</h3>\n<p>Conflating the Wait and Stay creates many performance issues making this distinction absolutely critical when it comes to dog sport. Conflating these two behaviors leads to unreliable Stays and delayed releases from Waits. </p>\n<p>In addition to these critical performance problems, conflating the Wait and Stay creates a great deal of pressure on the dog, handler, and team and sets up unnecessary errors that get in the way of efficient, successful training and handling.</p>\n<p>When is it OK to go? Do I stay here or move with you as I have been taught?  Am I in it for the duration or am I looking for the opportunity to do the thing? </p>\n<p>I believe that the confusion between Wait and Stay is responsible for many nagging problems in dog sport and dog training:</p>\n<h4>In Agility:</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Start Line Stay </li>\n<li>2 On 2 Off Contacts</li>\n<li>Table </li>\n</ul>\n<h4>In Disc: </h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Vaults and Overs</li>\n<li>Unstable Front Position</li>\n<li>Stalls and Dog Catches</li>\n<li>Multiples</li>\n</ul>\n<h4>In General:</h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Heel Position</li>\n<li>Down Stays</li>\n<li>Pedestal Work</li>\n<li>Sit Pretty/Stand</li>\n<li>and a host of others...</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>It's Not Too Late to Clean It Up</h3>\n<p>The best way to clean this up is to alternate Waits and Stays within similar behaviors.</p>\n<p>I will demonstrate and discuss some of my methods for creating a clear distinction between Wait and Stay in a future piece.</p>\n <br /><center><hr/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https://wordpress.org/plugins/steempress/'>SteemPress</a> : https://pvybe.com/dog-training/wait-vs-stay-a-critical-distinction-in-dog-training-and-dog-sports/ </em><hr/></center>    ",
