How to submit your video
To properly evaluate, please record the video following the guidelines below. Also see the video
instruction here https://youtu.be/saYjMvoz3S4?si=5Q3MvWcpcQph9pbQ
- Place all toys your dog knows on the floor. (If your dog knows more than 10 toys, choose any 10 and place those on the floor.)
- Set the camera at a low angle so that both the toys and the entrance to the room are visible. If you are using a mobile phone, please record the video horizontally.
- Step outside the room. From a position where you can not see the toys, ask your dog to bring atoy one by one.
- When there are only 7 toys left on the floor, please return the previously requested toys (or other toys your dog knows by name) so there are 10 toys on the floor again. Then continue with the remaining items on your list. You do not need to record your dog retrieving all the toys.
Showing 5 or 6 successful retrievals is sufficient. You can upload the video to a public website, such as YouTube or Facebook, and send us the link to geniusdogchallenge.official@gmail.com
Or you can send us the video using WeTransfer, and send the link to geniusdogchallenge.official@gmail.com.
- Please do not edit the video.
It is not necessary for the owner to appear in the video, but please make sure that the toy names
can be clearly heard. You may use a second camera to film yourself outside the room, but this is
not required.
- Please do not edit the video.
