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.
Penny Rauckis

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

I love the variety of topics and how holistic all the approaches are.

I would recommend this summit to the people in my various dog loving, dog training groups
Emma Bass

I got an extremly extended understanding on my dog´s behavior (and how reactive I am at times). So many issues tipped, I definitely want to follow further and I definitely fully recommend.

I want to recommend this summit to simply everyone owning and loving a furbaby. You´ll get additional ideas to what is really going on in the relationship with your dog and you´ll be reassured where you are right on other hand.
marion kitzberger

I can't even pick one or two. They have been so informative!! It's sad that most pet parents are so poorly informed and our dogs are suffering. I posted in my 2 FB groups.
Claire S

I didn’t get a chance to see the summit the first weekend, but I’m taking advantage of being able to see it on the long weekend, and I’m amazed of how great the content is. It’s been great to know all the research that it’s being done and how many experts are trying to guide all pet parents who are desperately looking for answers. I really enjoyed the talk about dental health since there’s little information out there. Needless to say we are making changes to improve our dog’s health. Friends with dogs and without. Humans could benefit from this knowledge too.
Samantha Aretuo

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
