Student feedback

Have been listening to the information provided. I am picking up new knowledge. I am a professional groomer as well as show my dogs and participate in different venues. So anyone in the dog fancy, groomers, pet boarding and daycare, as well as pet parents and breeders would love this.
Lea Afferton

I just watched your chat with Doggy Dan. I think this will help ME in life, as much as it will help me to help my dog.
Thank you so much.

People who love their dogs but need help to build a relationship with their dogs that ultimately holds fewer stress points...so you can enjoy them even more than you do already.
Jan Masters

For day 2 while I learned a lot I would say Justine Schuurmans was my favorite. Just recommended it to my niece who is dog sitting and I think this will help her a lot.
Fran Ward

I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve listened to. I was very interested in Gary Richter. Just last week I purchased a probiotic called nutra thrive. After just 3 days my dog stopped scooting, scratching and licking her paws, and she has a lot of energy. I also enjoyed listening to Coner Brady and about feeding dogs. But, everyone else is interesting. It’s all a lot of good information. Thank You all for your sessions. I would recommend everyone who has a dog .
Sharon DeRosa

I have listened to it all the speakers and have learned some interesting information. I have been feeding my Three year old Golden raw now for over two years. To be honest I thought there would be more information on what to feed your dog or what not to feed your dog since it was called the Raw feeding summit, instead it was primarily on transitioning your pet from kibble to raw. I would have liked to hear what these speakers feed their own dogs. I would love a summit on just how and what raw food is the best for your pet. I know it varies from pet to pet. It just would be nice to know what we are feeding our pets is right. Thank you for putting on this summit I really enjoyed it and appreciate all the hard work it must have been to organize all the speakers.

People who want to transition from kibble to raw. Also some raw feeders as well. I do believe that we can all learn something from every speaker. Thank you all for taking the time to speak.
