Your dog’s best life happens here.

Since primepaw’s inception in 2015, we have grown into a bustling dog training center and day school in San Francisco that provides positive-scientific based education, for both humans and their furry best friends.

We believe in creating a bond between human and dog, not by force, but by speaking the dogs’ language. That’s how primepaw’s Positive Reinforcement (R+) methods produce happier & city-socialized dogs.

Why primepaw? Well, let us tell you!

Fluent in Woof

Companionship doesn’t have to be complicated. At primepaw, we translate the science behind canine behavior into language that humans can understand.
Philosophy

We are advocates of canine citizenship; the idea that dogs can be city-socialized and co-exist harmoniously with humans in everyday living.
Methodology

At primepaw, we use the science of positive reinforcement, play, and unconditional love to get consistent results.
