Since 2009, ORCA has helped host the Art and Science of Animal Training Conference. The conference brings together animal trainers and behavior analysts for lectures and conversations about the science of animal training and about “what’s new” in animal training.

The conference has gained a reputation as one of the country’s top animal training conferences. It is one of the few conferences that brings 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 have been a great success, thanks to our wonderful speakers, our ORCA members and volunteers who keep everything running smoothly, and, of course, everyone who has attended.
