Student feedback

Wow! I only got to watch a few talks this week — all so excellent. Thank you to Dr Dee Blanco for organizing and contributing so much to each talk... I loved the talks by Drs Ihor Basko, Judy Morgan, and Gregory Tilford, and was blown away by Dr Jean Hofve's presentation. We are so fortunate to have had access to all of the sharing from experience, knowledge, and from the heart. Thank you all... and wishing you all the best!! I would recommend this to animal lovers, and pet lovers, and also to caring veterinarians who, like most medical practitioners, got only a minimalist and biased nutrition education. Food is medicine!
Ellen Harris

Building relationship with your dog and making training fun for both. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their relationship with their dog and improve the dogs behaviour. Offers so many different approaches whether pet owner, competitor or trainer you will learn something new. Loving it
Suzanne Scott

The compassionate presentation of incredible information to assist me in giving my rescue dog her best possible life. In particular the presentations by Jo-Rosie Haffenden and Kamal Fernandez gave me tools to add to my "tool box" . Above all I sincerely appreciate the loving approach to training & helping dogs/guardians navigate the world.

I would recommend this summit to folks like myself-- lifelong dog owner whose current companion is a rescue who came with a great deal of baggage for which I had no experience to train/modulate.

Maryon Evans

This was amazing. I work with rescue dogs and so much of this has endorsed observations and practices that I have used. What a wonderful collaboration between vets and behaviorists. Thank you for putting this together!

Rescue organizations and shelters. There are volunteers who foster these dogs...boots on the ground so to speak and they would benefit so much from this information!

Cheryl Biernacki

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.
