A: That’s exactly what this summit is for! Whether your dog is just starting or you're polishing advanced skills, our sessions are tiered to meet you where you are. You’ll get personalized guidance on your dog’s next steps and how to fast-track progress.

A: Yes. While we strongly recommend bringing your demo dog or a candidate, attending without one still gives you full access to all lectures, observation, and participation in handler drills. Great option for new staff or those preparing future dogs.

A: Yes — bring your everyday training tools, including your Sit Means Sit collar, leash, treats, toys, and crate. We’ll send a full gear checklist upon registration so you’re ready for every scenario we cover.

A: Absolutely — we encourage it! Teams that train together, grow together. However, dog/handler pairings may be capped for hands-on sessions, so early registration is recommended to secure working spots.

A: Travel and accommodations are not included. We’ll provide a list of recommended hotels and travel tips for the host city to help you plan. Early registrants may get discounted group rates — details to come after signup.

A: We’ve got you covered for breakfast and lunch on both days of the summit. Dinner will be on your own, but we’ll provide a curated list of great local spots — from quick bites to sit-down options — so you can relax and recharge with fellow trainers.
