California has banned puppy mills and pet stores, but we still play a pivotal role in the puppy mill industry. If you have purchased a puppy in California, either through the lies and deception of breeders and puppy brokers, or the incompetence of the state when regulating dogs imported to the state, you may have unknowingly purchased a puppy mill dog.

Are you interested in making a change? Follow Puppy Mill Free California on Facebook (the CA chapter of ), even better, join us at the Sherman Oaks Street Fair this year to help spread awareness!

Help us in wishing the exceptionally talented a Happy Birthday 🎂 Alex is a wonderful example of why animal advocacy is so important. Not only does he continue to study and learn about animal behavior, but he gives his whole heart to every new animal and family that comes to him for support. When he's not volunteering his time at a farm sanctuary on the weekends, you can find him brainstorming ways to improve the lives of our canine companions. We are so lucky to have such a brilliant founder and teacher. Happy birthday Alex 🎉

First assessment of the year! We are back with an old friend, Mr. Bootsy from (and available for adoption!). We previously helped him feel comfortable during alone time, which he handles like a champ now.

This time our focus is on barking and lunging at other dogs on walks. Often these behaviors are labeled as "aggressive", but upon assessment we discovered Bootsy is just excited to say hi to other dogs!

We could distract Bootsy with treats, or suppress the behavior with punishment (sometimes called "corrections"), but we would prefer to address the function of his behavior directly. That is why assessments are so important!

Now that we know that the function of Bootsy's behavior is to access other dogs, we can use other dogs as our reward for more desirable (and lower energy cost) behavior.

This was a good reminder to not assume certain behaviors mean specific things. Also, why it's important to ask questions and then set up assessments to answer those questions!
