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

This talk has been so interesting and informative.

I have greatly enjoyed and benefited from watching the Summit. The diversity of speakers afforded everyone an opportunity to hear about issues not normally presented to the general populous, which brought about a rich foundation of information and awareness. Many presenters were obviously in love with animals as are guardians of these special beings. I felt Dr. Frick was exceptional in hosting, deciphering and guiding her interviews. I've been in human natural health care for 35 years which has always been applied to my animals, and still I learned new information! I would recommend this summit to all humans involved with animals at any level. The love and attention we give one another must also be expanded to include God's gift to us in the form of creatures...
Judy Mersky

So diverse in the topics covered. It enhanced my own knowledge of holistic health care for our furry friends, in many categories that I too pursue Thanks Ava, etal GB All pet owners , but most assuredly dog owners of course.GB
