Primepaw Dog Training: San Francisco's BEST!

This is our second time working with the PrimePaw team, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. Our 10-month-old rescue, Bootsy, came to us after spending most of her life in an overcrowded rural shelter with little structure, exercise, or training. She was incredibly sweet but completely unaccustomed to home or city life—chewing everything, jumping on counters, struggling to focus, fearful on city walks, and prone to intense play biting. Enrolling her in PrimePaw’s Adolescent Academy for three weeks, followed by daycare, has been truly transformative. In just two months, Bootsy has developed focus, impulse control, and a real love for training. She walks calmly through the city now, no longer counter-surfs, and happily settles on her mat to train with us at home every day! Most importantly, she’s become a joyful, confident dog. Bootsy absolutely lights up when she arrives at PrimePaw each morning—tail wagging, eager to go in—which says everything. The entire team—Dom, Steph, Joanne, James, Daniel, Jordyn, Gigi, and Helen—are kind, patient, deeply skilled, and clearly love what they do. We’re incredibly grateful to have them in our lives!

We’ve been going to Prime Paw since we brought home our 8-week old ridgeback, Vida. We started with private classes with Dom before Vida was vaccinated, went to puppy socials, and then enrolled in Adolescent Academy. The team at prime paw has been our family through this journey, helping us with all our first-time-puppy owner questions and training Vida. She’s transformed into a confident puppy that I can easily walk in noisy parks and bring to cafes with me. I can’t thank enough Dom, Stephanie, Joanne, Jordyn and the rest of the team for all the love and care they’ve put into Vida’s training… it shows every morning when Vida realizes we’re at Prime Paw and her whole body wiggles with excitement. As a puppy parent, there’s no better feeling than that. Thank you to the team for creating training programs that work, a loving environment, happy dogs, and grateful humans :)
