Beginning in 2009, ORCA helped host the Art and Science of Animal Training Conference. The conference brought together animal trainers and behavior analysts for lectures and conversations about the science of animal training.

The conference gained a reputation as one of the country’s top animal training conferences. It was one of the few conferences that brought together animal trainers from a variety of fields, including dog trainers, horse trainers, zoo trainers, marine mammal trainers, bird trainers, and more.

Our past conferences were a great success, thanks to our wonderful speakers, our ORCA members and volunteers who kept everything running smoothly, and, of course, everyone who attended.
