Embedding Practice, Building Confidence
Small changes that create consistent, whole-school impact.
The Dog Mentor Conference 2026 is set to be an inspiring and meaningful day, bringing together Dog Mentor teams from across the UK. Created exclusively for schools already working with the programme, the conference offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded colleagues, share practice and learn alongside others who truly understand the impact of dogs in education. The day will feature targeted CPD delivered by experienced professionals and experts in their field, with every session designed to be practical, relevant and rooted in real school experience.
​
The conference takes place on Thursday 18 June 2026 at the Clayton Hotel, Birmingham and will be a one-day, in-person event. Tickets are available now, with early bird tickets available until 7th March, offering priority access and special pricing.
​
Places are limited, so early booking is strongly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Creating Dog Mentor Networks
Here at The Dog Mentor we believe that networking is crucial to the development of successful educational institutions. The conference will provide you with an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues in similar settings and share best practice. During the course of the day you will have time to browse a variety of exhibitions from a range of suppliers.
