FirstBarkBelinda brings not only a lifetime of animal training, but a keen sense of what each pup needs, how to customize corrective training in a way that suits pup and owner, as well as a delightful sense of humor that keeps the training fun and easy! I highly recommend her!

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 such an amazing trainer and was invaluable in helping us all when we first got our puppy. She was patient and understanding whilst also setting the bar really high for how much we could achieve. The sessions were transformative and have really improved his behavior and obedience; the pooch really loved the sessions too and we were all very proud when he achieved his Canine Good Citizen Award!
Great trainer for your puppy. Small classes give you individual attention specifically for your puppy. Feel confident choosing Belinda as your dog’s trainer. Be prepared for an excellent outcome.

Belinda is an amazing dog trainer. We worked with her when our dog, Baker, was under a year old, and she helped us build strong foundation skills that have truly allowed us to thrive as a team. I really appreciate her training style. She is straightforward, thoughtful, and always continuing to expand her knowledge through seminars and ongoing education. Her guidance made a lasting difference for us, and I would highly recommend Belinda to anyone looking for a dog trainer in Sonoma. We would absolutely work with her again.
Belinda was born to do this work. She is a natural and just understands dogs. I did both a private lesson with her as well as a group class. Her approach is clear, consistent, and prioritizes the dogs' well-being. After just a few sessions with her I saw a huge improvement in my ability to work with my dog's behavior. Very grateful for her wisdom and support.
