FirstBarkBelinda was amazing!! She was recommended to me by a passerby on a hiking trail, and I am so glad the universe worked its magic in that way. My dog was bananas, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, and she helped me tremendously during our group and private training sessions.

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!

Belinda is wonderful. She helped us with our [then] 1.5 year old pup, Joey, who was struggling with recall and walking calmly on his leash. She approached our sessions with kindness, tons on knowledge, and a great enthusiasm for dog training. Joey responded very well to Belinda's presence and training style, and we walked away with plenty of tips and tricks to keep going on our own too. He's now 2.5 and we are so grateful for Belinda's help with his recall and leash-walking! I highly recommend Belinda (and so does Joey) for any dog training needs!
Belinda was amazing with our puppy. We tied a group training class, which didn’t work well, so we came to her for some one on one training. She wasteful for both us and our pup. Her facility is great and we couldn’t have been happier to work with her. We live in San Francisco and the commute was worth it!
We engaged Belinda to train our Australian Shepherd puppy, Buckley, right from the start. He learned basic commands, manners, and some fun tricks very easily in a great class environment with other puppies who all became Buckley's buddies. She also gave Buckley private training sessions to master his on leash manners.
Belinda is an incredibly knowledgeable trainer that met us and our dogs where we were. One of our dogs needed a full reset and I am so grateful to her for giving us tools to improve our dogs behavior. Recommend her to anyone who thinks their older dog can’t unlearn bad behaviors.
