March 22nd and 23rd 2027

Following the huge success of our first live event, the Emotional Wellbeing in Dogs Conference returns in 2027 for another inspiring two days of learning, insight and connection.

Bringing together leading experts from across dog behaviour, welfare and wellbeing. The conference will offer two days of valuable learning, practical insight and meaningful conversation. The immersive format will once again create plenty of opportunities to connect with speakers and fellow professionals.

We are delighted to welcome Karin Pienaar and Dr Karolina Westlund for their first UK presentations, alongside returning speakers Dr Robert Falconer-Taylor and Dr Amber Batson.

The programme will also feature Jane Arden on emotional wellbeing in working dogs, Aneesha Ghuman on nutrition, Tracey Jones-Hughes on movement and posture, Matt Donovan, Roz Pooley and Jack Linnell of St Giles Animal Rescue.

The conference will be held at the 4-star Imperial Hotel in Torquay, Devon. With stunning views across Torbay, the hotel is just a short walk from Torquay Harbour and the town centre.
