Spend a day with six great minds in animal training

The first annual Art and Science of Animal Training Conference was a huge success! ORCA would like give a big thanks to our six Great Minds, Bob Bailey, Kay Laurence, Steve Martin, Alexandra Kurland, Ken Ramirez, and Steve White, for giving us new insight into the current and future states of the field of animal training and behavior. To everyone who helped us spread the word about our conference and to everyone who volunteered their time to make this an unforgettable event, we couldn’t have done it without you. And last, but not least, we would especially like to thank everyone who attended the conference. We hope that you had a wonderful time, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

On March 20th, 2009, ORCA and the University of North Texas are honored to present a lecture series and open panel discussion.

The Art and Science of Animal Training: Where Are We Now? Where Are We Going?

Six of the best minds in equine, avian, canine, and marine mammal specialties will speak on what the science of behavior and the craft of teaching have shown us about interacting, living and communicating with animals. These animal and behavior experts will share their wisdom, gleaned over the decades, about the present and the future of animal training.
