WHAT THEY SAY

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.

Student feedback

I have learned so much by listening to as many of the talks from day 1. But while listening to Dr. P.J. Broadfoot which was another excellent talk, I cannot get onto her website from her talk or just putting in Dr.PJB.com ........help..... I have sent the Pet summits information to all my pet friends.
Sonja Saavedra

I ready enjoy this firstday so far. I am now following on social media several of the guests. Thank you so much!

Any dog owners, veterinarian students , veterinarian technician students, breeders, professional dog handlers.
Claire Touze Shawaf

Pretty much all. Really liked what Dr. Bush shared, also oral health by Dr. Kangas was very informative and good explanations. Also last speaker, Chelsea Kent. Although, sickened me to find out the horrible things, that some of these greedy pet food companies put into ourpet food. Pretty sickening! Thank you so much for these pet summits, I'm learning so much and becoming more educated. I took a lot of notes, hopefully I can remember everything! Anyone and everyone who owns a pet, also people who eat animals, to find out how they are being treated and how it affects their environment
Marg Cimafranca

I enjoyed all the talks, but was learned so much from Ava Frick talking about hair testing. When reading lab work, seeing a deficiency doesn't necessarily mean supplementation is required, because the body could be doing it on purpose to achieve homeostasis elsewhere.

Anyone interested in their dog thriving vs surviving. They can get by on kibble, sure, but to really thrive they need a much better diet.
Christine

The summit has been very interesting. Thank you for putting it on. Easy to log on to at a time that is convenient for me. Doggy Dan and Dr Ian Dunbar have been the speakers I have enjoyed most of all . I have preordered Dr Dunbar's new book. Watching the Labradors play session and the interactions and training within it were excellent to see. Actually letting dogs be dogs was a joy to see and something that often seems to get forgotten these days. Andrea Arden hit the spot with discussing the differences between apartment living dogs behaviour and rural dogs behaviour. Personally I think it is amazing that there aren't more dogs actually giving up on life given apartment living conditions. Why have a dog if the circumstances of your life dictate that life for the dog will be unreasonably complicated. As an aside I would suggest that Andrea takes special interest in the spinal health of the horse she is riding that is bucking so often, unlikely to be joire de vive rather pain. I think it will be found to have a pinching saddle or pain issues especially as it has come from the race track. Once again thank you for organising this summit. Sally
