Student feedback

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

I especially enjoyed Dr. Gleeson's presentation about simple things to make your home safer and more comfortable for our pets. I am curious about dietary recommendations and inspired to explore those further. I would recommend this summit to any companion animal parent regardless of age in order to prevent aging issues as well as ideas to mitigate effects of aging.

There is so much wonderful information. I really enjoyed learning about the mushrooms. I now want to learn more about mushrooms.

Everyone who owns a pet or works in the pet field.

Everyone who has doubt what to feed

Nice instructions for people and puppies. Clear video demos and stop action is helpful. I suggest puppy and adult dog owners. Anyone ready to learn new ways of communicating clearly with your pet.
