About SF Puppy Prep

What they offer

SF Puppy Prep is an education-focused puppy school in SoMa. Its prep school is a day program where puppies learn basic cues, appropriate socialization and essential manners through gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.

Group classes cover what owners and puppies need to learn together, and supervised play sessions in small groups teach social skills.
