It decreases the activation energy for the reaction to occur. Thus the reaction happens more easily. You could do it without the catalyst maybe….at a high temperature, but I guess you would be at danger of breaking bonds and the molecule may decompose!

You are right, dehydrogenation works best under and inert atmosphere at reflux in the presence of Ni/Pd/Ru etc catalyst usually supported on carbon
