SmartyPup!'s goal is for you to thoroughly enjoy the training experience and to help you build a strong, positive, and lasting bond between you and your puppy. Training sessions are carefully thought out, educational, and designed for the ENTIRE family.

We’ve been training puppies for 15 years, WE KNOW PUPPIES and we revel in each new puppy class-- instructing people and their pups is truly the best job on earth!

SmartyPup!®  believes it is essential to understand and train puppies-as-puppies (and dogs-as-dogs). They should be taught to respect people-as-people, and learn that people know what is best. As thinking, caring person we help you effectively establish control psychologically through consistency, trust, respect and fun! Our teachers meet the needs of each individual puppy in class and adjust the training to develop each pup for the best chance in your lifestyle.

SmartyPup! is a not just a puppy school, but a San Francisco  network of dog loving owners! Since 1995 SmartyPup® founder, Fawn Pierre has trained over 20,000 San Francisco puppies and people.

SmartyPup!...  dedicated to San Franciscans-human and canine alike!

Our puppy classes focus on giving you, the "puparent", the skill-set to train and manage your puppy independently at home, at the park or beach and simply strolling down San Francisco's city streets! Because our trainers live, work and play in San Francisco we know how important it is to raise a reliable and friendly city dog both on and off leash.

In San Francisco we enjoy a lifestyle that is unique to the rest of the bay area! Our classes advocate lots of off leash play and training time, on leash management skills, and most important at this time in your pups life--developing a solid and friendly temperament.

See you around town!
