Every guest speaker brought something good to the table. My favorite speaker was Doggy Dan. His personality and energy captivated my complete attention. What a lovely person. If I lived in New Zealand, I would definitely choose him to set my puppy up for success. Thank you!

I'm glad I had the opportunity to attend this summit.

REVIEWS

Student feedback

Information I can pass on to the rescue organization I foster for. I recommend this to anyone who works in and around dogs.
Judi Dowson

Wow...just wow!! The wealth of information is invaluable. Thank you for this incredible summit. As a R+ trainer, I advocate for fear free methods on every level as anxiety is crippling and seeing dogs improve with an integrative and/or traditional approach that helps the welfare of an animal is such an amazing, eye opening opportunity. Addressing a root cause before starting a training journey is so important to set an animal up for success. Thank you again for presenting this summit.

I kove the examples of a raw food diet and how to transition. Listening to the benefits of raw and how it can help in differet diseases as well

Kelly is not only an awesome dog trainer but also a great interviewer. Years ago before virtual learning became dominant I attended a few live workshops with Dr. Dunbar , once a three day training with the attendees' many dogs in the classroom, and since that time I became Ian's dedicated fan. There are many talented trainers around now but what attracts me to the Dunbars' model of training is its very down-to-earth approach. Simple, fun and always much to learn! Thank you!

Everyone who loves dogs and wants to make their own and their doggies' lives easier and happier.
Olga Botcharova

All the different perspectives + tips that points to one goal, good gut health! So nice to have confirmation that these fresh and raw diets aren't so scary and that I can start the road to a better diet and gut health with confidence. Every. Single. Dog. Owner. It makes me incredible upset that people go to their vet and come home with Royal Canin or Hill's Science and that's all the nutritional information they get. Even if you go a step further and start researching yourself, it's a headache to navigate through all the conflicting information! This has been eye opening and everyone should have this information to make the best choices possible for their pet.
