A friend of mine told me that her neighbors called Animal Control because her dogs always bark when she is not home.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity…” Charles Dickens wasn’t talking about dog ownership or training when he wrote this, but he surely describes what we are experiencing right now, in…

We are back! After two years, false starts, and a lot of hard work, we were able to restart Pawsitive Change. It does indeed take a village for a program of this magnitude to move forward. Many don’t realize that it takes the cooperation of a team of people, including the backing of a rescue (Marley’s Mutts), CDCR staff, trainers…
