About Dirt Road

Dirt Road K9 & Equine was built on a simple belief: good training starts with trust. Whether it's a green colt, a high-drive working dog, or a family companion who just needs some manners, we meet every animal where it is and build a willing partnership from the ground up.

We're a working farm at heart, not a franchise. That means honest methods, hands-on care, and owners who stay involved so the results last long after the training's done. Same standard for dogs and horses alike.

Dog Training

Obedience & Manners

From puppy basics to polished off-leash control, we build reliable, real-world obedience that holds up on the trail, in town, and around the barn.

Every program starts with a relationship. We use balanced, force-considerate methods tailored to your dog and your goals, and we coach you so the results last long after training ends.

Working & Sport Dog

Drive with Direction

High-drive breeds need a job. We channel that energy into focus, control, and confident performance for sport, protection foundations, and working roles.

Ideal for Malinois, shepherds, and other working lines. We develop engagement, grip, and clear on/off switches so drive becomes an asset instead of a handful.

Equine Training

Groundwork to Saddle

Patient, natural horsemanship that starts colts right and brings problem horses back to willing partners, one honest session at a time.

Round-pen groundwork, desensitizing, and under-saddle progress at the horse's pace. We keep owners in the loop so the partnership carries on at home.

Word Down the Road

"They started our young mare under saddle with so much patience. She came home calm, confident, and a joy to ride. Worth every mile of that dirt road."

Katie R. Colt Started

"Our Malinois was bouncing off the walls. Now he has an off switch and actually listens. The change in a few weeks was night and day."

Marcus T. Working Dog

"They helped train my service dog for public access and specific tasks. Professional, honest, and genuinely invested in us succeeding."

Danielle P. Service Partner

"We board two horses here and could not be happier. Clean stalls, great hay, and people who treat our horses like their own."

The Hollis Family Boarding Client

"Down to earth folks who know their stuff. No gimmicks, just real training that sticks. Highly recommend to anyone on the Front Range."
