Update: This bill has been pulled for the year (5/6/2020).

When the state Legislature reconvenes in May, one bill that will likely be considered is AB 2691 (Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, D-Orinda), which would put numerous new reporting, housing, record-keeping and other requirements on dog training facilities. Failure to comply would make one subject to various penalties, including both criminal and civil penalties.

While some of AB 2691’s requirements are reasonable and it would be expected that current dog training facility operators are already fulfilling them, others are subjective or even arbitrary.
