No as birds eat the berries and you can make jelly from them to. But lots of things in gardens may be poisonous so best to teach your dog not to eat as MG says

No the berries from this particular shrub, Gaultheria shallon, are not poisonous but it would be wise to train your dog not to eat any berries as many of them are.
