Speakers at the event include some of the most respected experts in the fields of animal training and behavior analysis.
Every year, attendees come from all over the United States, and even from abroad! The majority of attendees are professional dog trainers or dog owners. In addition, the event attracts veterinarians, horse trainers, bird trainers and zoo keepers from around the United States.
