Hi everyone, posting this notification here in case of interest to the DOL community: The inaugural Australian Working Dog Conference, will bring together over 200 working and sporting dog breeders, trainers, handlers, veterinarians, facility managers, research scientists, advocacy and government group representatives from across Australasia. A place to share ideas, network and learn, this conference is the first of its kind. Details inclunding preliminary program and registration (early bird rates end this weekend): http://www.workingdogalliance.com.au/conference/ The Australian Working Dog Alliance is a new non-profit organisation committed to optimising the wellbeing and performance of all working and sporting dogs in Australia. Why? Because across the working and sporting dog industries, a 50-70% fail rate is normal… and it doesn’t have to be. The welfare of these dogs is intimately linked to their working performance. The Working Dog Alliance is working with industry, government, veterinary, animal advocacy and scientific research groups to review current practices. We aim to provide resources and opportunities for communication, sharing and collaboration across this diverse industry.
