The Bay Area is the Birthplace of Modern Puppy Training

If you are raising a puppy in the San Francisco Bay Area, you are in luck! The Bay Area is where the modern pet puppy training class was invented by Dr. Ian Dunbar, over 40 years ago, and where you can still find the Original Puppy Training School: SIRIUS® Puppy & Dog Training.

SIRIUS Puppy Training revolutionized the world of dog training, spreading puppy classes and reward-based, fun and games, family-friendly dog training all around the world. Since then, we've helped train over 110,000 puppies and we'd love to help you train yours!


SIRIUS Puppy & Dog Training offers in-person group classes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for puppies and friendly adult dogs.

If you have a puppy, you owe it to yourself to sign up for a puppy class, whether that's with SIRIUS or another puppy school. A good puppy class will change your life forever!
