Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Would You Rather questions tap into our natural curiosity and imagination. By presenting two intriguing scenarios, they encourage members to think outside the box and connect over shared experiences or funny differences. This type of content lowers the barrier to entry, making it easy for everyone to participate, regardless of expertise or confidence level.
For dog training communities, these prompts are especially effective because they invite personal stories and opinions about a topic everyone cares about: their dogs. Members not only answer but often elaborate, leading to deeper conversations and stronger community bonds. The playful tone also helps create a welcoming, positive atmosphere.

To engage a wide range of dog owners, mix prompts featuring foundational commands (like 'Would you rather your dog master 'sit' or 'come' first?') with those about advanced skills (such as 'Would you rather train your dog in scent detection or agility courses?').
