Go Anywhere With Confidence
Custom board & train programs for dogs you can trust anywhere – from your local restaurant patio to your favorite trails or a road trip to the Oregon Coast.
You’ve put in the work to train your dog after watching countless YouTube videos, reading books by experts, and maybe you’ve even worked with a dog trainer, but you still struggle with these behaviors that keep you from enjoying your favorite activities in Oregon together.
Put a paw in the air if you can relate…
Your dog only comes back when they feel like it
Your dog has selective hearing on trails. Sometimes they come back–reluctantly, other times you’re standing there calling their name on repeat while they chase that squirrel 200 yards away. You worry about them getting lost or hurt.
Walks are a wrestling match
No need for you to lift weights, fighting your dog on leash gives you all the strength training you need!
Every walk turns into a battle of wills. They pull you down the street or trail, making what should be a peaceful outing feel like a Gladiator match. Your shoulder aches, and you dread taking them out in public.
It’s stressful to take them anywhere
They jump on every person they meet, bark at other dogs, and turn what should be relaxing brewery visits into constant work. You love your dog, but you’re embarrassed by their behavior so you just stick to the same boring walks during hours when you are unlikely to see anyone.
What if your dog could go anywhere with you?
Imagine confidently exploring your local farmers’ market, knowing your dog can handle crowds and chaos. Picture peaceful road trips to the Oregon Coast where they can run free on the beach because they come every time you call them back. Envision relaxing brewery visits where your dog settles calmly so you can actually enjoy time with friends.
This isn’t just a dream – it’s exactly what the Red Dirt Dog Training board and train program delivers:
✅ Bulletproof recall Your dog comes back every single time – whether you’re at the coast, playing together in your neighborhood parks, or having fun on forest trails. No more anxiety about losing them everytime you unclip the lead.
✅ Loose Leash Walking Peaceful walks whether you’re strolling side-by-side through your neighborhood or exploring new cities. Finally enjoy those long walks without the constant tug-of-war.
✅ Calm & Settled A dog who can relax on your favorite restaurant patios, chill out at home whether you’re hanging out or have guests over, and ride calmly in the car during a road trip.

Client Testimonials
“Being able to work with Abbie has been such a pleasure. From start to finish, she has been one of the biggest support systems for me & my 1.5 year old Catahoula, Addie.
Through the 21-day Board & Train, Abbie worked with us on a training plan, helped us pivot with the plan as needed and catered to where I was within my circumstances. She soon learned my pup’s pace, learning abilities and was able to help me create clear communication between me and my pup—something I later learned was SO invaluable.”

“This was a life changer for me and my Best Friend Kylo who is a 3 year old Bassett Hound with lots of personality. Now with Abbie’s training we can go for walks without him pulling me and he can go to work with me with better manners. The best part of her training is she works with what works with you and your dog… not just one style fits all. I should have done this when he was a puppy! Thank you so much we were blessed to have chosen the right trainer!!!”
Rebecca S.
“I adopted a 10 1/2 month old Doberman mix. He had a lot of behavioral issues (leash pulling, lunging, anxiety, easily distracted, and more). I was overwhelmed and worried the adoption would not work out. I enlisted the help of dog trainer Abbie from Red Dirt Dog Training. Best decision I could have made. Abbie is a delight to work with. She’s patient, nonjudgmental and positive. My dog’s behavior has greatly improved from the start. I highly recommend Red Dirt Dog Training!”
