Student feedback

I haven’t been able to watch all yet. Even tough one may think 48hrs is plenty of time, it isn’t in reality. So, thank you for extending viewing. Those I have had time to view have provided techniques applicable to one or more of my rescues and also insight so that I may help friends dealing with issues and their pup. Also appreciate the fact they have Facebook, websites and YouTube pages enabling people more tools for research.

In all honesty, I would recommend this to all pet owners. Each dog is unique in their personality and character. This helps one with present time but will also benefit one moving forward because household dynamics change. Fears and trauma can happen at any given time.

I absolutley loved Sam Adam's presentation. She has a wealth of very practical knowledge about keeping you ,your dog and others safe on the trail. As a mom of 5 herding dogs and 7 horses it was refreshing and a relief to hear a trainer talk about horses and dog encounters on the trail. Most people don't realize that horses are prey animals ,and since dogs are predators some very unfortunate incidents have happened to horses ,their riders , and off leash dogs. I personally know of riders who have been seriously injured ( broken neck) after falling off their terrified horse that was being chased by an off leash dog on the trail. A law suit resulted . I also know of an off leash dog that was kicked to death by a terrified cornered horse whose only defenses are to run or in this case fight. I know of horseback riders who have had to teach their dogs to turn on a dog in self defense on the trails to prevent an attack. Other riders have had to resort to carrying long whips to beat dogs off their horses! These things could so easily be prevented if dogs were on leash and taught good trail behavior!
Education is key to keeping everyone safe on the trail!
Thank you Sam for bringing up this crucial topic that is hardly ever talked about !

I enjoyed learning from a group of people who clearly were committed to helping anxious dogs about the variety of positive, non adversive techniques and strategies that can help them. I especially appreciated that this represented a truly wholistic approach including using drugs if needed.

I would recommend this summit to anyone who has an anxious dog, knows someone with an anxious dog or just has any dog who may have anxiety issues in the future (pretty much anyone who loves dogs and wants to learn more about them.)

Totally love what Brady says. Answered so many questions for me. I've been trying to feed raw for more than 35 years but never knew if I was doing it correctly. I will be buying his book today...whatever the cost. He is brilliant.

I will be sending this info to my dog groups on Facebook and my dog breeders in The Netherlands.

amazing !! dear Ian, i'm a vet since 20 years, always thought dry utra procesed food is a disaster...
than i read your book about 10 years ago , i studied micronutrition, TCM , physiotherapy and herbal therapy !
Since 5 years I work mostly as an integrative vet and of course I m already more than convinced about all those topics..
Sometimes i feel a bit lonely here around speaking about raw food , mirobiome and preventive medicine with all those Hill'S Vet around me...
but hearing those amazing speakers gives me a lot of courage to go on !! you are doing such a great job !!BRAVO
LOVE from switzerland

every dog and cat owner
