Our all-new conference format delivers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between behavioural science and the practices of positive animal training by the leading voices in the field.

At Luminos you will delve into the ideas that are critical to successful training and subject to misunderstanding and debate, even by experienced trainers and scientists. Learn where training practices are both under-explored and undergirded by behavioural science. Experience how informed discussion and debate are handled by professionals who respect each other. See how science and practice can work together to clarify our understanding of a topic. Work effectively with nuance.
