Dog Adventures Northwest | Adventure Boarding

For dogs nine months and up.

With Adventure Boarding, dogs get lots of adventuring every day AND get to stay in a trainer’s home! Adventure Boarding dogs become a part of our family, and come back home happy and tired after their stay with us.

Service includes…

Full-time care with a licensed, bonded, and insured rewards-based dog trainer in a trainer's home
One Adventure per day or Day Camp attendance (trainer-specific)
Garmin satellite GPS tracking for Adventures
Off-leash recall practice (coming when called)
Reinforcement of desirable behavior (sit, down, come, drop it, leave it, etc)
Management of undesirable behavior (jumping up, resource guarding, leash reactivity, mouthiness, bullying, mounting, etc)
Meals and medications
A towel-dried, clean-pawed, and happy pup
Daily photos of your dog's adventures
Ridiculous amounts of fun (and cuddles!)

Boarding dogs must be...

screened and approved by Dog Adventures Northwest through a free 30-Minute Evaluation
nine months of age or older (puppies eight months of age and younger must book Adventure Board and Train)
up-to-date on vaccines and parasite-protected
non-excessive barkers
content to be confined by crate, tether, exercise pen, or gate with limited barrier frustration or separation anxiety
content to share toys and low-value treats with other dogs (high-value treats will be given separately)

dog-social and people-social (your pup doesn’t need to be the life of the party, but we do need to know that your dog, the other dogs in our care, and the people in our homes will feel safe at all times; we unfortunately cannot offer Adventure Boarding for reactive pups)
wearing a harness and identification tag (required) and microchipped (highly recommended)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are new to Portland and interviewed a number of pet sitting/adventure hiking companies. Dog Adventures Northwest set up a meet and greet with us to help ensure they could provide the right services with the right trainer and pack. Dingo is incredibly shy even with people he knows, so it was important to us that Dingo have continuity with his "people." We love that Jamie is Dingo's primary hiker/dog sitter. Dingo also has a back-up trainer he sees at Thursday adventures, so if Jamie isn't available, Dingo still knows the person who will be caring for him. Dingo can't wait to see them - he watches for Jamie coming up the walk (even on non-hiking days). He runs to the door to greet them so they can have a quick snuggle and jump in the car so he can see his friends. They communicate and share pictures often, which is great especially when we are away. We can't say enough great things about Jamie and Dog Adventures Northwest. We highly recommend them and can't imagine not having them in our lives.
