Shake It Off Dog Training is committed to achieving results through kind, rewards based, science-backed training methods that are endorsed by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. Based in Yountville, CA, we serve our clients with a compassionate approach that places your dog’s wellbeing and quality at the forefront of the training process.

Our training philosophy is built upon creating a trusting relationship between you and your dog that fosters curiosity and the freedom to learn —without the unnecessary and damaging threats of fear, pain or intimidation. Whether you have a brand new puppy, need to address specific behavioral issues, or simply want to strengthen the connection with your best friend, Shake It Off Dog Training prepares you and your dog to work through challenges as a team.

For those in our local area, we offer private, in-person sessions for hands-on learning. We also offer virtual appointments, making it easy for you to access our expertise from anywhere in the world.
