Sept. 10-12, 2010

Conference Schedule        Conference Registration Form

The Society of Veterinary Behavior Technicians is pleased to announce that registration
is now open for the 2010 conference “Behavior - Start to Finish”. We are very excited to
be holding this conference at the Oquendo Center in Las Vegas, NV which has been
designed specifically with conferences like ours in mind.

If you are looking for information on how to get started in behavior, what your role is in
providing behavior services and how to improve your hands on training skills this is
where you need to be! Attendees will have a unique experience that includes
presentations by members of the Academy of Veterinary Behavior Technicians and
hands on learning opportunities. Exclusive access to credentialed technicians actively
providing behavior services in the practice setting and working with veterinary
behaviorists ensures that what you learn, you can do!

Who are the speakers?
Let’s just say they’re people you really want to see for this price! Terry Ryan of Legacy
Canine will be running our learning theory and chicken sessions. Dr. Sophia Yin will be
covering pharmacology in addition to a couple other topics on day one. Our own SVBT
members Monique Feyrecilde, LVT, Marcia Ritchie, LVT, CPDT-KA, VTS-Behavior,
Sherrie Yuschak, RVT, and Ginny Price, CVT, VTS-Behavior will be covering the topics
in between. We combined the talents of those in general practice and specialty practice
to give you practical skills you can take home and use!

Who can register?
Registration for the conference is open to technicians, assistants, veterinarians and pet
trainers. Registration forms will be available online at www.SVBT.org Please complete
