About this Event
2025 National Service Dog Conference
Join The Association of Service Dog Providers in St. Louis, Missouri, for the 2025 National Service Dogs for Veterans Conference. This premier event invites service dog trainers, non-profit leaders, and professionals in the veteran and first responder service industry to come together for two full days of professional development, best practices sharing, and insightful discussions with VA leadership and Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs).
Association members invite all non-members, collaborative organizations, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the veteran and first responder service dog industry. This year’s conference will focus on key areas such as dog training, veteran and first responder training, mental health, suicide prevention, and administration. Attendees will have ample opportunities to network and engage in meaningful development.
In addition to the conference, we’re offering valuable pre-conference workshops, including a one-day workshop on Cynopraxic Training and the LIMA Principle with Steven Lindsay, as well as certifications in PetTech CPR & First Aid and Mental Health First Aid.
ASDP’s National Service Dog Standards, first established in November 2016, will also be available for download at www.servicedogsforvets.org.
Your ticket includes lunch for both days and an opening night reception to kick off the event.
Please review our service dog etiquette as part of our attendee code of conduct.
