The practical advice and videos of training methods were great. The emphasis on fun versus work was valuable. I liked the variety of dogs & subjects covered. Anyone who wants a better relationship with their dog & a calmer, more fun way to be with their dog in both their worlds should watch it.

So much information and well presented. The time goes by so quickly and it keeps me with the feeling that I don’t want it to end. I sent it to my two daughters they have dogs . They are I. Their 20’’s

Very much enjoyed the presentations. Especially those by Amanda Gagnon and Julie Case. Amanda's version of playing red light (wait), green light (let's go) to help build impulse control as well as reinforcing polite leash walking is a great take home message and easily implemented. Julie's videos on puppy stimulations and socialization as well as her working dogs videos help us keep in mind the resiliency of dogs and the enjoyment of having a job. Would recommend the Summit to any pet parent or pet professional.

new revelations when it comes to the brain of the dog, and how to adapt that in a more efficient focus training with your dog. every dog owner

As a Certified Vet Tech with special interest in behavior and training, I especially loved the videos from Justine Schuurmans and Kim Brophey. Both of their videos are extremely helpful and especially insightful in giving us the chance to look at the relationship between people and dogs in a whole different way. I think every Veterinary Technician should see these videos by Schuurmans and Brophey. Ms Schuurmans' video can help us counsel clients with small children in how to build a true bond between the child and the dog. Also a way to teach the child to have respect for the dog - and all animals. Ms Brophey's video gave us the chance to change our perception of the dog's ability to learn, to engage and actively participate in the things happening to them (like a vet visit). Giving them the choice to allow themselves to be handled is HUGE. And it's something, sadly, I don't think many technicians really consider. Which is why so many dogs have such a fearful or anxious response when at the vet. Even low stress handling and fear-free training don't come out and give the dog permission to CHOOSE to engage. And they don't stress the dog's autonomy the way Ms Brophey does. I also watched her TED talk....amazing!

Everything. I have gained different strategies for different situations from each trainer to put in place for a better understanding of how my dogs think, to be more in tune about how they feel and to develop a better connection, to have more fun! Everyone intending on welcoming or have just welcomed a pup/dog to share their life with.
