The SLOW DOG MOVEMENT© C.I.C. is the only global movement in the world that encourages dog guardians to explore SLOWING down for the good of their dog and themselves. At the heart of what we do is YOU! It’s our followers and members ‘on the ground’ who share our message and lead by example with their own dogs.

We are greatly inspired by, Carl Honoré, and we are part of the SLOW MOVEMENT he started. Carl chronicled the zeitgeist phenomenon of SLOW in his internationally successful book, ‘In Praise of Slow.’

We are a ‘social enterprise,’ (or, in the U.K. a ‘Community Interest Company) which means that we (at this point in our infancy) take 100% of our profits and use them for operating costs and future projects. For any large projects, like our short film, we use Crowdfunder.uk.

Our philosophy was inspired by Carl, and many dog professionals, educators, thinkers, and authors. During our perpetual evolution, we have learned from our co-directors, colleagues, members, followers, and of course, our dogs.

Thank you for being a part of and informing our growing ethos!
