+### Build your own personal models (using Docker)
+* Build a new docker image based on `Dockerfile` from this repo:
+```
+docker build -t snowboy-pmdl .
+``` 
+
+* This will create an image which you can run to train your personal model. In order for this to work you'll need to create a directory called model on your host machine (Ubuntu 18 or whatever) and place your three audio files in there. So the directory should look something like this (note: the wav files need the exact names as below or it won't work):
+```
+$ ls model/
+record1.wav  record2.wav  record3.wav
+```
+
+* Finally you can call docker (note: need to be in the parent directory of model):
+```
+docker run -it -v $(pwd)/model:/snowboy-master/examples/Python/model snowboy-pmdl
+```
+_This command mounts the model directory in the docker container and runs a script which calls generate_pmdl.py_
+
+* If everything went well, you should now have a file called hotword.pmdl in your model directory.

 Snowboy now brings hands-free experience to the [Alexa AVS sample app](https://github.com/alexa/avs-device-sdk/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-Quick-Start-Guide-with-Script) on Raspberry Pi! See more info below regarding the performance and how you can use other hotword models. The following instructions currently support AVS sdk Version 1.12.1.
