Your place to find out what’s happening across the Neuro-Inclusive Dog Professional Network.
There’s always something happening inside NIDPN, whether it’s an opportunity to learn something new, connect with other dog professionals, work alongside the network or take some time to think about your own development.
This page brings together our upcoming sessions, learning events and opportunities to get involved.
A NOTE ABOUT OUR EVENTS AND LEARNING
The events listed on this page are our upcoming live sessions and learning opportunities hosted by Katrina.
But there’s more happening inside NIDPN than just our live events.
New resources, guides, workbooks and practical learning materials will also be added to the Learning Vault throughout the year, with updates shared through your monthly Network Update email.
Our programme will also evolve with the needs and interests of our members and the wider dog industry. Some months may have more live learning opportunities than others, depending on what’s happening across the industry, seasonal considerations and the topics that are most relevant at different times of the year.
Our aim is to keep learning relevant, practical and connected to what’s happening in the real world of the dog industry.
November and December follow our existing event programme, with our updated membership format being introduced in January 2027.
We’ll continue to bring members opportunities to learn, connect and grow, while making sure the network remains flexible and manageable for everyone.

We’ll consider your capacity, what you want to achieve and the steps you can take to move forward.

RISE UP EVENT: GOAL SETTING FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS
Date to be confirmed
What if goal-setting worked with your brain, rather than against it?
Traditional goal-setting can often overlook the realities of fluctuating capacity, different ways of processing information and the challenges of maintaining motivation.
In this Rise Up session, we’ll explore a more neurodivergent-friendly approach to setting goals, considering what matters to you, what you have capacity for and how to create goals that feel achievable and meaningful.
More details and the confirmed date will follow.
KEEP UP TO DATE
At the beginning of each month, members receive their NIDPN Network Update email, bringing together upcoming sessions, learning opportunities and what’s new inside the Learning Vault.
You can also check back here for the latest What’s On information.
Not everything will be right for everyone, and that’s absolutely fine.
Choose the sessions and opportunities that are useful to you, join in when you can and make the network work for you.
LEARN. CONNECT. GROW. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Together, we’re making the dog world more inclusive.
