building better relationships
RED DOG training aims to bring out the best in every handler and canine pair, whether that means having a calm and confident adventure pup or an energetic and enthusiastic competitive teammate.
At RED DOG we believe that all training needs to be FUN! We believe that the foundation of every team is engagement and trust. And we believe in training with compassion, empathy, and respect.
agility
Agility is my personal favorite! It is challenging for both the handler and the dog and provides amazing mental and physical enrichment for both parties! Agility builds trust, connection, and well…is super FUN! From foundations to coursework, RED DOG has you covered. Intro classes are done one on one to fit the individual needs of each team. Group class options are available to those who can put together 4-5 obstables in sequence.

“Alanna is absolutely wonderful to work with. She helped us with our German shepherd puppy! He went from dragging me all over the place to enjoying walks around Battle Point. Not only does Alanna help teach your dog but she also teaches you how to best communicate and work with them.”

Frankie and Charlie
“The boys and I always learn a lot in our sessions with Alanna and we have so much fun! What started as a desire to work on a few things has developed into building a toolbox of skills for deepening my relationship with my dogs. Alanna is so well versed, perceptive, kind and encouraging. Everything you would want in an excellent teacher!”

Zoey
“Alanna is such a gift. We rescued a super sweet but very high drive 8 week old puppy and were so overwhelmed. Alanna's utilization of shaping and positive reinforcement showed us how to work WITH Zoe to achieve results rather than fighting against her natural instincts. With Alanna’s help we have gone from frenetic and out of control to calm and an absolute joy.”
