Everything has been of use. I have gleaned something from every session. Thank you for making this series available to dog owners. I wish I had known about this years ago. I already feed my dog raw food but this has convinced me to try to get friends and family to feed their pets raw food.
I would recomment this summit to any dog or cat owner.
Elizabeth Carbery
All the speakers have been amazing. So much great information. Thank you so much.
All the breed clubs. I put it on all my Bull Mastiff sites. I got a number of likes so hopefully those people signed up.

After using the herbal handbooks by Juliette de Bairacli Levy for over 30 years for my dogs & puppies, chooks, ducks & sheep, it is the conformation that a raw food diet is paramount for a healthy happy dog.
Thank you, Amanda
Pet owners who buy puppies and find their pup has behaviour problems.
I have and will continue to recommend to all "awakened" pet owners.

I’ve had a dilemma on feeding for some time. I thought I’d chosen a good kibble and add home cooked meat and veg but on the back of this summit I’ve rethought and am going raw. Thankyou
Anyone with a dog who cares about their health and well-being
Suzanne Presland
So much information from many great presenters but my favorite is Dr. Christian Vergara on the gut/ brain connection. Absolutely fascinating and mind blowing!!!
Recommended to all raw feeders and wanna be raw feeders. A goldmine!

REVIEWS
Student feedback
The variety of speaker topics, some of which really resonated with me.
Anyone who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of their dog.
Christi Wilson
Having a dog with behavioral issues due to Hypothyroid has been incredibly difficult. Extensive training had limited results, because although he is well trained, he suffers in areas beyond his control. (Intense & sudden fear of things unseen being one)
I am blessed to have a Vet that has considered the research I’ve brought to him despite being very athletic & young. (this is how we discovered the low antibodies through a full blood panel) but treatment only helped marginally.
My Vet has since repeated the panel for other dogs.
I am so thankful & excited to have more areas I can explore for him to make his world easier, & hope for preventing these problems for future dogs.
I am infinitely thankful, & so is Thor. Everyone! I work in a full service dog facility that sees over 90 dogs daily for boarding, daycare, grooming, as well as training, & I cannot think of one single area of dog care, be it professionally or in the setting of a home, that wouldn’t benefit greatly from this insight.
You have improved countless lives now & for generations to come.🐾

The knowledge that is now available to help humans and dogs work together. Everyone who is having issues with their dogs and everyone bringing a new dog into their home. Plus trainers to make them better.
Judith Whitemarsh
I've loved seeing people demonstrate their theory/points with their dogs and give examples and ideas. My favourites have been: Reward Based Training Approaches (Ian Dunbar), Focus & Engagement (Jo-Rosie Haffenden), Group Training On/Off Leash (Amanda Gagnon) Budding trainers and any pet owners really! Even if you know the core of it, the ideas and demonstrations are great and really inspiring and motivating. Anyone who deals with dogs in any capacity would benefit from this!
Libbi Mattick
To see the ability of dogs to excel with the right environment and supporting training was inspiring. The session Dogs with Jobs & K9 Olympics brought tears to my eyes. And Ian’s last session explaining the importance of facts and figures to prove your success in the way you train is really valuable.
Thank you for a very informative and enjoyable training summit
This Pet Summit had something for every person who owns a dog, regardless of experience
