Nestled in the picturesque rolling hills of Santa Clarita, California, Cesar Millan's renowned Dog Psychology Center (DPC) spans 43 acres. This facility is the realization of Cesar's vision - a place where dogs can come together as a pack for training and rehabilitation in a ranch-like environment. Boasting ample roads and trails for walks, a pool, spacious air-conditioned kennels, farm animals, and more, the DPC serves as the perfect backdrop for Training Cesar's Way.
Country Inn Pet Resort and AnimalHospital is the prestigious east coast home of Cesar Millan's Dog Psychology Center. Sitting on eight acres of lush land in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Country Inn has been meticulously designed to reimagine the traditional concept of kennels. As a family-owned and operated business since 2006, their foundation stems from a veterinarian's profound passion for animals and shares in Cesar's passion for creating a happy, balanced, relationship with your companion.
