Canine Welfare: Kenneling

Are your dogs thriving in kennel environments or just getting by? For many working dog and assistance dog organizations, kenneling is a major part of a dog’s daily life. The question is: are we setting them up for success? Join Working Dog Innovations (WDI) for a webinar where we break down what it really takes to support the welfare and performance of kenneled dogs. In this session, WDI Co-Founders Jackie Clark and Dr. Katelyn Mills will share the latest science, real-world insights, and actionable best practices to help you: understand the core welfare needs of dogs in kennels, identify common challenges and how to address them and implement evidence-based strategies. Whether you oversee a small program or a large facility, this webinar will leave you with tools to enhance your dogs’ experience and strengthen your organization’s impact.
