Thank you all for a great weekend 3 - 4 March 2018!!

The weather system known as the Beast from the East certainly caught Europe’s attention this year but could not compete with the enthusiasm of the Symposium’s partcipants and speakers. Everyone made it, from as far afield as Australia and Taiwan, even though some were bleary eyed on Saturday. Read the repots here....

​2017
Trotting skeletons, sniffing strings, rotatory characters, a schnuffelgarten and plenty of laughs were on the menu for dog lovers at this year’s Symposium. Not to mention the excellent food, helpful staff and great company. Turid again had an extraordinary lineup of speakers with lots of knowledge to impart. This one will be hard to beat!

​2016:
​The weekend was a hit from the word Go, and not just because of the free ice cream and popcorn in the conference lobby! The excellent speaker line-up, fascinating topics, friendly atmosphere and good food all contributed to something well worth writing home about. Again. We hit the ground running on Saturday morning with an intensive and challenging presentation that set the tone for the rest of the weekend. And we loved every minute of it.

2015:
​One never leaves the Dog Symposium without a burning desire to do more, or better, for one’s dog. This year was no different. The exceptionally high-quality presentations led us on a spellbinding trip through aggression and disease, feeding, tactile stimulation and mental health in dogs, with a look at the human end of the leash as well. We came away well fed, well stimulated, and well laughed.
The conference was in Helsfyr hotel in Oslo, and we had participants from 15 different countries, including Australia, Korea and Mexico. The summary for 2015 is now ready, you can read more about it here
