About the Penn Vet Working Dog Conference

Starting in 2010, the Penn Vet Working Dog Center has held the Working Dog Conference, a gathering of working dog professionals including veterinarians, academics, working dog handlers, breeders, students, behaviorists, and those interested in what makes a better working dog.

Our most recent conference, Creating the Working Dog: Puppy to Professional, offered attendees the opportunity to follow the science and practice of developing of a working dog from 8-weeks to 18-months.

We are proud to hold a conference in which all people invested in the health and performance of all types of working dogs can learn together.
