Cesar Millan’s official website describes the Dog Psychology Center in Santa Clarita as a 43-acre facility with roads and walking trails, a swimming pool, spacious kennels, and farm animals. Newsmakers describes the site as a 40-acre compound, slightly smaller than the 43 acres on Millan’s website.
The rehabilitation of dogs that owners and shelters have trouble placing and that might otherwise be euthanized is, according to Millan, the purpose of the center. The Santa Clarita Valley lies north of Los Angeles. One of the properties there is the Dog Psychology Center, the working base of Cesar Millan, a dog behavior specialist who hosted Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel and later fronted other television series. The center has served as a location in his shows. Millan’s own website also describes owner-training programs held at the site, which are separate from the rehabilitation work done with dogs. The foundation’s own pages and a small number of secondary sources are the main record of that history. Pet Life Radio adds that the center has air-conditioned kennels, a sheep herding area and an obstacle course.
The center grew out of an earlier facility in Los Angeles, which was relocated north to Santa Clarita.
The website of the foundation claims that its mission is to ensure that none of the dogs is starving, gets sick, or is euthanized. The Cesar Millan Foundation describes the Dog Psychology Center as a ranch-like environment where dogs can recover, learn, and thrive. This is what the foundation claims as its mission statement, and there is no other source verifying these claims independently. There are no statistics on the number of rehabilitated or adopted dogs currently available. What the available records establish about the Dog Psychology
