Canine Welfare: Kenneling – presented by Jackie Clark and Dr. Katelyn Mills

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.

With a combined 30+ years of experience in the assistance dog industry, Jackie Clark and Dr. Katelyn Mills founded Working Dog Innovations in 2025. WDI was born out of a desire to help guide and assistance dog organizations thrive by offering strategic, educational, and operational support.
