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!

REVIEWS

Student feedback

I found this whole seminar excellent, so many useful tips on how to appreciate, understand, and properly manage our canine friends. I have learnt a huge amount. I recommend this summit to anyone who has a genuine interest in training their dogs in a fun and happy way, that allows the dog to behave in an natural and safe manner. dogs are individuals, and to really train one properly is to get to know what motivates them, and then play to this strength.

Edward did an excellent job of interviewing a wide range of interesting and highly skilled experts. I learned a lot of new things that I wasn't aware of. From tuning into this summit, I appreciate having a broader understanding of anxiety in my dogs, in particular how to recognise it and I have learned some strategies to ease their anxiety and be more aware of my own.

Anyone who has dogs, wants to be better pet parents, is considering getting a dog or dog professionals who want to enhance their skills and professional expertise.
Caroline Taylor

I am loving this summit so much - the guests and yourself are so without ego and so heart centred. I love the warmth shown and the obvious caring and love for animals. I worked as a vet nurse for 20 years in NZ - I would love to see this beautiful holistic approach with animals expressed more widely. I find it very balanced. It fills my heart and uplifts me. Thank you so much. Anyone who loves their animals and could do with the encouragement to trust themselves and their own knowing. Fabulous.

To see the ability of dogs to excel with the right environment and supporting training was inspiring. The session Dogs with Jobs & K9 Olympics brought tears to my eyes. And Ian’s last session explaining the importance of facts and figures to prove your success in the way you train is really valuable. Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable training summit This Pet Summit had something for every person who owns a dog, regardless of experience
Gunilla Haydon

Throughout the years I must have attended a hundred plus work shops, seminars and lectures. Your four day summit was among the best. It was diverse, informative and down right educational. What I gained will be used over and over again for the rest of my life.
Thank you very much, Joe

I would recommend this summit to anyone living with a dog, regardless of the dog's age.
