About Gunnar's Place

Gunnar's Place is a positive, force-free dog training app that has been built to help you and your pup grow together. From the basics of what to do when you bring your new puppy home to advanced learning and even a few tricks for fun, this is an all-encompassing place to learn. Of course, sometimes you need expert eyes to ensure you are doing things well, and that is why we have included the ability to book online virtual sessions for those who live outside our area. The app will guide you through a structured learning curriculum designed to be completed in short practice sessions. With online learning you can take this on the go and learn at your own pace.

Beyond the core curriculum, Gunnar's Place keeps you supported with progress tracking, a weekly photo timeline to celebrate your pup's growth, and a searchable troubleshooting library for common challenges like barking, jumping, and leash pulling. The Masterclasses section offers deep-dive guides on separation anxiety, leash walking, and impulse control for handlers who want to go further. Every method in the app is strictly positive reinforcement — no corrections, no aversives, ever.

The app is for puppy and dog owners of any experience level who want a kind, effective, science-based path to a well-mannered companion. It is built by the Gunnar's Place team, with all content designed and led by real trainers. Every lesson is real filmed footage with real trainers and real dogs — none of it is AI-generated. In many lessons the dog is learning the cue for the first time right alongside you, so you get real results with real dogs in real time.
