Daily Themes

At SPARCS, we change things up by having a global topic as our theme for the presentations for each day.  This allows everyone to hear multiple perspectives on key topics from true experts examining different elements of each topic.  Join us at the end of each day for our one of a kind panel discussions including all of our conference speakers and hosted by Do You Believe in Dog? with the amazing Mia Cobb and Julie Hecht!

6/20/14: “Aggression” and Conflict

6/21/14: Temperament and Personality

6/22/14: Applying Science in Training

Check out the Speaker's Presentation Titles and Summaries with Learning Goals!
