I enjoyed hearing learning about pet assessments and what treatments are available for muscular/orthopedic injuries. The euthanasia information is important to know as well.
Can anyone advise me about a proper orthopedic pet bed? What is the appropriate firmness and material of a mattress? I think every per owner to have this empowerment of knowledge to guide their pets care.

REVIEWS
Student feedback
I love the presentations and techniques
I am a certified dog trainer and many of these approaches are new and weren’t part of the content of my course. Very valuable and things I am putting to practice
All dog trainers and people with pet dogs
Actually. These life skills are useful for us humans too!
Sondra Schoenlien
I loved the variety of speakers. Dr. Kelly Halls, Julie Anne Lee, Angela Ardolino & Dr. Katie Woodley were my favourites. They spoke clearly, knowledgeably, gave resources and links. I love the practical, hands- on content & info. Most presenters were confirming the same concepts which reinforced the importance of feeding a raw, complete diet to our cats and dogs. Thank you!
I wish professionals in the Veterinary world would look at these videos. Even if they don’t/can’t recommend them, they’d at least understand a bit more why their clients want this.

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 would recommend the Pet Summit to any friends with dog(s)!
Betty Jeanes
I found this whole seminar excellent, so many useful tips on how to appreciate, understand, and properly manage our canine friends. I have learnt a huge amount. I recommend this summit to anyone who has a genuine interest in training their dogs in a fun and happy way, that allows the dog to behave in an natural and safe manner. dogs are individuals, and to really train one properly is to get to know what motivates them, and then play to this strength.
