Sonoma Dog Training

Belinda is awesome! You won’t regret working with her! I first encountered Belinda at a training course at Pets Lifeline. She has the ability to put you at ease, and keep you engaged at the same time. Belinda is knowledgeable and structured, but absolutely meets you (and your dog) where you are. She quickly assessed what things my dog Scout and I needed to work on. I was impressed that in the class setting, she did the same for the other participants- sorting out specific tasks for each group depending on where we each were in our training process. Belinda provided all sorts of advice and information that I’m still using. And I would 100% work with her again. Belinda helped Scout and I again with training in a park so that our walks would be more enjoyable. I still have a wild little terri

Belinda is truly incredible. Trouble is my first dog (a rescue American Pit Terrier mix) and he’s super sweet and sensitive and as a first-time dog owner in San Francisco, I wanted to make sure I was doing right by him. Belinda helped us build clear boundaries, strong training skills, and the confidence to navigate the real-world etiquette of being a responsible dog owner (especially as a pitty parent!). She adapted her approach to both me and Trouble, and we left each session feeling more connected, more confident, and more in sync with each other. Our relationship has changed so much for the better because of Belinda. It was absolutely worth the commute to Sonoma, and bonus: she also has amazing restaurant recommendations 😄 Highly 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 is an incredibly talented dog trainer! We got our 7-pound Maltipoo, Cody, during COVID, so he wasn’t well socialized. Belinda worked with him in an outdoor class with other small dogs, and the transformation was amazing. Cody learned agility, improved his listening, and became much better on leash. Most importantly, he mastered recall, which keeps him safe. Belinda was extremely patient and encouraging, and by the end of the course, Cody proudly received his AKC certificate! We highly recommend Belinda’s training program — in our book, she’s truly the Dog Whisperer.

Belinda is the absolute best Dog Trainer hands-down! We are so grateful to her for giving us the gift of a well trained, well behaved and happy dog. Our sessions with her were engaging and fun filled. She knew exactly how to keep our puppy engaged and motivated. Belinda is very knowledgeable and experienced and she comes highly recommended from us and our pup! If you have a puppy or a dog of any age - call on Belinda. She is amazing at what she does. She’s the real deal!
