AFAR also operates the Animal Behavior Center of New York, a companion animal training and behavioral treatment facility, which provides low-cost companion animal training and behavioral treatment services to the community.

The program will soon be available over the Internet through Yahoo Broadcast. For over two years AFAR created and co-produced the public access television program Companion Animal Network that won the 1997 National Hometown Video Award in the category Making a Difference . This television news magazine program exposes animal crime and cruelty and educated the public about responsible pet ownership. Presently, our president, Bob DeFranco, hosts the weekly television program although AFAR no longer produces it. It is now called Pet Talk Live and can be seen on QPTV, Channel 34 in Queens New York.
