Fear, reactivity, and aggression are among the most misunderstood - and often feared - behavioral challenges in dogs. Behind every reactive bark or aggressive lunge is an animal trying to cope with its environment, emotions, and past experiences.

This conference will bring together dog behavioural specialists,  trainers, veterinarians, researchers and dog guardians who are united by a common goal: to better understand the roots of these behaviours and explore effective, compassionate, and science-based approaches to prevention, intervention, and support.

Through expert presentations, practical workshops, and open dialogue, we aim to deepen our knowledge, challenge outdated myths, and empower those who work with dogs to create safer, calmer, and more humane outcomes - for both dogs and people.

Let’s reframe fear and aggression not as problems to suppress, but as signals to understand.

WELCOME - AND THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THE CHANGE!
