Where was Red Dog Filmed?
Now without getting into further details, let us get into the main topic: where was the red dog filmed? The setting of the movie is in the North West Pilbara region, and hence the shooting is done there. The team had decided that it was best to shoot the movie in the place where it was situated rather than trying to find another location resembling the same place. Thereby, the shooting took place in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. There was not much difficulty in shooting in Australia, and in fact, the cast members were quite happy about the whole situation. Thereby, if you leave in that area, you might even recognize the various spots in the movies.
Pilbara is not a very common tourist spot and is not very much frequented by people. However, it is an important place for Australia, as they get a lot of resources from this place. Hence, it also served as a great shooting spot because it was quite secluded. Being such a peaceful and serene place, the team could focus 100% on their work and also not get much disturbed by their surroundings. This was also important, for they had to get a lot of animal shots in the movie.

Red Dog Shooting Difficulties
One of the major shooting difficulties that the team had to face while shooting Red Dog was handling the dog that was on set. It is quite difficult to shoot a dog who is the main character of the movie. Apparently, there were four dogs who were brought to Australia for the movie. All of them were to be trained professionally and also well-groomed. Hence, you can only imagine the level of hardship and how tiring it must have been to go through all of those processes to make this movie possible. They could have gone for CGI, yet they decided to keep the movie as real as possible.
Another difficult thing that they had to overcome while shooting for the movie was, of course, the whole travel package and everything. Most of the actors had to come to Australia to shoot the movie. Additionally, as they were shooting near mining resources, they had to take extra precautions as not to trespass a territory. There were also a lot of places where they had to take special passes and permissions for shooting there. Hence, it was not that simple to just go ahead and shoot the movie. Also, taking the dogs from one location to another was not a simple task either.
Therefore, we would request you not to just presume that most of the movie is not just CGI. The whole team had given their all for this movie, and it has got a lot of acknowledgment. There were several nominations and awards for the movie. The sympathy for the dog, and the whole story had always been able to make the audience extremely emotional.
