Live better with your bestie.

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.

Life skills for puppies, adult dogs, and their humans.

PUPPIES

It’s a whole new world and their first time in it. Set your puppy up for success and prevent problem behaviors before they begin.

Yeah, they might just have more hormones than brain cells. Navigate the adolescent years with confidence and take your dog’s skills to the next level.

TEENAGERS

Undo bad habits and, just maybe, teach an old dog some new tricks.

ADULTS

It’s never too early to address your dog’s challenges with fear, reactivity, or aggression. Learn techniques to manage your dog around triggers and work towards changing their underlying emotions.
