About SmartyPup!

SmartyPup! has been training puppies and teaching people since 1994. We specialize in science-based, reward-based training for puppies and adolescent dogs, focusing on the first two years and the human-dog bond. Our mission is to help you raise a confident, well-mannered dog through positive, developmentally appropriate training. We offer Puppy Socials, Small Dog Socials, structured Puppy Day Camp, and specialty classes like Happy Leash and Pro Recall. At SmartyPup!, we train the whole family because great dog training starts with great human coaching. Located in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset, we’ve helped thousands of pups (and their people) thrive.

Smarty Pup was super fun, we bring Maggie our Cavapoo-poo for puppy socials. She’s is getting more social and learning to be with other dogs.

I am super impressed with Wag Hotel in San Francisco. A hot spot that he had BEFORE he went to Wag opened up while he was there boarding - they jumped on it right away, contacted me, and went ahead and erred on the conservative side, getting him veterinary attention. I was out of town and not reachable for a period of time - but they treated my dog with the same love and attention that I would have provided if I were home. Gives me huge peace of mind bringing him there when I have to travel for work.

Great place to train your puppy and for socialization play sessions before your puppy is fully vax
