Dunbar Academy

Dunbar Academy is all about sharing puppy and dog training techniques that are easy, enjoyable, and effective. We use science-based dog training methods developed by our founder, world-renowned veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and dog trainer, Dr. Ian Dunbar.

We've been training puppies and dogs for over 40 years and we specialize in family-friendly, fun and games dog training that looks at training from the dog's point of view, to make sure that training is fun for everyone. Our methods WORK and when you see them, you can see your dog's behavior and temperament change before your eyes. In a single training session, you can, and should see progress. If not, you're probably not doing it right!

Dr. Ian Dunbar was an early pioneer of reward-based training and was a key figure in popularizing early puppyhood socialization and training, but we produce videos to help dogs of all ages and abilities.
