So much very good supportive information. Really needed it. Thank you all.

All pet owners. Has been especially helpful for me as a guardian of a puppy & a senior.

Melissa Nickell

I would like to extend a huge Thank You to all the presenters and to Kelly Dunbar for putting on this seminar. It offered a ton of wonderful information. Even the areas in which I don't struggle with my dog-- lots of good info .

Anyone with a dog :)

Maryon Evans

As a canine remedial therapist and owner of senior dogs I need this information to navigate their senior years which have been impacted by previous diets and lifestyles. Also to point my clients in the right direction. This information is not readily available from our local vets. Great to hear products being recommended too, by people who really know what they are talking about. My vet would never recommend many of these so now I can have confidence in purchasing treatments for diarrohea and probiotics etc. Thankyou so, so much. All dog owners who want a longer lived, happier dog. Anyone working with dog behaviour also really needs to understand this stuff.
Robyn Larson-Shelton

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.
