PDTE AGM 2025
Movement Matters: The Connection between Canine Movement and Behaviour
Join us from September 27th to 30th, 2025 in Slovenia to explore the connection between movement and dog behavior, while also building connections with fellow dog lovers and professionals!
Movement Matters!
It is time for everyone—from dog professionals to pet dog guardians—to become aware of how different life circumstances can impact a dog’s movement and, equally important, to understand why and how a dog’s movement (dis)abilities can affect its behavior.
That is why we’ve chosen The Connection Between Canine Movement and Behavior as the central theme for the
PDTE Annual Conference 2025.
This event is open to all, whether you are a dog behavior specialist, a veterinary professional, a canine physiotherapist, a researcher in dog behavior, psychology, ethology, or biology, or simply an interested dog guardian seeking to better understand your dog’s behavior and needs.
