Our canine friends are often asked to keep up with our human physical or emotional pace. This isn’t how they are meant to live their lives.

We are a social movement. We promote ethical values within the dog/human relationship. In keeping with the human ecosystem, we cultivate our respectful coexistence. We consider the deep knowledge of the physiology and needs of the dog.

Slowing down gives us endless possibilites to connect with our dogs and be healthier together.

We are a group of canine professionals and lifelong learners who love dogs. We encourage dog guardians to SLOW down for health, relationship and enjoyment.

Join our slow loving dog community.

Our community spans the globe. We hope you’ll join on us online and ‘on the ground.’ If you’re a dog lover with an open mind and an empathic soul, you’re welcome. We have options for the light hearted joiner, the passionately committed activist and the wealthy patron.

“The great benefit of slowing down is reclaiming the time and tranquility to make meaningful connections--with people, with culture, with work, with nature, with our own bodies and minds”

— Carl Honoré, In Praise of Slow: How a Worldwide Movement is Challenging the Cult of Speed
