What is The CANIS Conference?
The world's largest dog training and behavior conference!
Brought to you by AggressiveDog.com and APDT International, the CANIS Conference (that's Canine Advocacy, Networking, Innovation, and Science!) is not your average industry event-it's a celebration of all things dog.
We are teaming up with Fenzi Dog Sports Academy (FDSA), National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW), Canine Science Symposium, IAABC Foundation, and Best Friends Animal Society to bring down silos and collaborate in this groundbreaking event!
Over four energizing days, trainers, behavior consultants, veterinarians, shelter and rescue workers, sport dog handlers, and pet care pros come together to learn, connect, and spark new ideas.
With five engaging educational tracks, jaw-dropping live demos, and nonstop networking with your kind of people, CANIS is where science meets passion, innovation sparks ideas, and the future of dog welfare takes center stage.
