About Sonoma Dog Training

Sonoma Dog Training run by Belinda Head provides individual coaching and training for pups and their people. I use a common sense approach honed over 40 yrs of working with competition dogs and movie animals. Let's build a strong,reliable bond between you and your pup, creating well mannered behaviors and instant recalls. Let's stop the jumping up and pulling. Let's create structure and boundaries, and let's reward your pup "off leash freedom" by training him properly! Call me on 415 948 7905 to set up a free phone consultation to see if this is a good fit for you!

Belinda is an exceptional dog trainer, and an even better teacher for humans. She didn’t just train both of my dogs; she trained me, which made all the difference. Her ability to explain the “why” behind each technique gave me the confidence and skills to continue the work long after each session ended. Her large outdoor training facility is a huge advantage. With diverse props, environments, and built-in distractions, the dogs were able to practice real-world scenarios rather than just controlled drills. This translated directly into better behavior at home and out in public. Belinda is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly intuitive with both dogs and people. I saw meaningful progress, not just in obedience, but in communication and trust. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone serious about building a strong, lasting relationship with their dogs. Belinda rocks!!!

Belinda is absolutely awesome! I brought my latest rescue bully to her when I got home from the shelter and she gave me all the tools and guidance I needed to make him the amazing dog he is today. She’s witty, smart, knowledgeable and a true animal lover. Sessions with her were engaging, fun and wildly productive! 10/10 recommend!!!!

Belinda has trained two of our Gordon Setters and her patience, guidance, insight and experience are the best we’ve ever experienced. She made us so much better at the game than any other trainer in our long history of owning this breed. Belinda is absolutely best-in-class. It was also wonderful to bond with other dog owners going through the training process. Oliver and I are so grateful as are our two pups, Tobi & Nikki!

Belinda was so helpful in getting us on the right track for training our young pup Remy. He is a very anxious dog, and Belinda’s methods have helped us greatly. Cant recommend this pet training enough!

Belinda is an amazing trainer - Truffles (and me) benefited so much from her patience, kindness and dedication. She is a strong and compassionate trainer…
