Your Quick Start To Puppy Culture
Puppy Culture is a complete program of over 50 lessons - from whelping box to new home.
From early neurological stimulation, to aggression prevention, to potty training, manding, and leash walking, it's all here!
Learn from top veterinary behaviorists, breeders, and dog trainers - scientifically proven to greatly improve outcomes for puppies!
With step-by-step instructions on what to do at each critical juncture in the first 12 weeks of life and beyond, Puppy Culture is your guide to raising your puppies to be calm enrichment seekers, ready to take on life's challenges with love and joy to spare.
But what if my puppy is older / younger / not raised with the Puppy Culture program?
Don't worry! You're in luck; the science based training and protocols in Puppy Culture are perfect for puppies of all ages.
Even though the film focuses on the first 12 weeks of a puppy's life, there are more than 30 lessons that are directed specifically to prospective puppy families that can be applied well after the 12 week mark - including manding, early leash walking, and crate training.

Is the Workbook suitable for Puppy Owners?
The Workbook is a fantastic resource - packed with reference material, guidance, hints, tips, charts and worksheets - which acts as a companion product to the Original Puppy Culture film.
However, with a focus on guiding you through (and recording), early litter developmental activities, it is probably more suited towards repeat Breeders than it is Puppy Owners.
For Puppy Owners, a good alternative is to make use of the Essentials playlist, or the Recap sections of the Original Puppy Culture film, in order to write a personalised outline plan for you and your puppy to follow.

What is the difference between streaming and downloading?
Streaming is real-time, and it's more efficient than downloading media files. If a video file is downloaded, a copy of the entire file is saved onto a device's hard drive, and the video cannot play until the entire file finishes downloading. If it's streamed instead, the browser plays the video without actually copying and saving it. The video loads a little bit at a time instead of the entire file loading at once, and the information that the browser loads is not saved locally.
Think of the difference between a lake and a stream: Both contain water, and a stream may contain just as much water as a lake; the difference is that with a stream, the water is not all in the same place at the same time. A downloaded video file is more like a lake, in that it takes up a lot of hard drive space (and it takes a long time to move a lake). Streaming video is more like a stream or a river, in that the video's data is continuously, rapidly flowing to the user's browser.
How does streaming work?
Just like other data that's sent over the Internet, audio and video data is broken down into data packets. Each packet contains a small piece of the file, and an audio or video player in the browser on the client device takes the flow of data packets and interprets them as video or audio.

What About Poor Network Connections?
It goes without saying that with Streaming and Video On Demand solutions, a good network connection is a key factor in ensuring a good experience.
Our Video Streaming solutions and Video Player use something called Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) which, simply put, periodically looks at changes in your network conditions and then automatically selects the best quality video to play based on this.
This process will happen seamlessly and the switch in quality can happen many times during the course of a video - and normally it would have no impact on the overall video playback.
If your network quality varies a lot in a short time period for some reason, this can cause the player to re-buffer different qualities unnecessarily and cause what appears to be broken playback.
In this scenario, you can actually override the ABR process and instead select a specific quality:
- select the "cog / gear" icon in the video player
- change "Video quality" from "auto" to a specific bitrate
- the higher the bitrate, the better the quality, but also a greater need for a good network connectivity
Video streaming apps for mobile devices and TV
You can now stream videos on both mobile devices (iOS and Android) and TVs using devices like a Roku Box, AppleTV, Android TV & Amazon Fire TV.
Download for Offline Access
You can also download videos within our app and watch offline for 30 days after download. In-app downloading is separate from the download settings on the web platform. Viewing downloaded videos on mobile apps uses no data unless you are connected to wifi, at which time, very minimal data will be used as the app updates the servers of usage. Downloading videos on apps can use standard data of around 20 MB per minute of 1080p video.

Other Options
Casting to other Devices
With this option, you can cast the media available in your Video Library to other devices.
This allows you to access your Video Library on your Phone, Tablet or Laptop, but to view it on a big screen TV - the device you are casting from will then act as a remote controller.
Chromecast and Apple AirPlay are supported for the purpose of casting.
Screen Mirroring
With mirroring, you would typically access your Video Library on your Phone, Tablet or Laptop as normal, but then you would "mirror" the screen to a bigger screen via a mirroring device.
Amazon Firestick is just one of a number of devices which support screen mirroring.
