SmartyPup!

We adopted an 8 week old puppy, and I had forgotten just how much work puppies are with chewing, toilet training, and getting into trouble if not exercised and properly supervised. I quickly realized that we were in over our heads and needed a lot of help. I asked several dog trainers I know in SF and they all said to call SmartyPup SF. The school uses only positive reinforcement training and specializes in puppy socialization. It's a combination of Day care and Day Training. The trainers were brilliant. We could see the difference in her confidence right away. She began giving auto sits, going to her mat, and seemed more relaxed. Her play skills developed quickly. She graduated a couple of weeks ago now she’s in adult daycare with a wide variety of adult dogs. That daycare tells me that they can see how well developed her play style and confidence is for a dog her age. She was exposed to many different people, objects, sounds, situations and now has the curiosity to explore and try new things, without being held back by fear. She even had the courage to ride a skateboard ! What a transformation. SmartyPup gave her a head start in life that she wouldn’t otherwise have. I’m grateful that we found them. The owner, Fawn, was also very helpful with food and treat advice. If you’re looking to give your puppy the best foundation possible to work from, this is the place. Definitely paws up and 5 stars !
