Because Portland exports more than just
coffee, beer, and weird people.
Give your dog the stimulation, exercise, and education they need to be their best self—whether they’re on the trail, in the backyard, or relaxing in your living room. Led by professional trainer Jodie Fitzgerald, Dog Adventures Northwest brings trusted force-free methods to the shores of Lake Winnipeg.
OFF-LEASH ADVENTURES
More than a walk—it's a mission.
We pick up your pup and head out for two hours of "paws-on-the-ground" exploration. Under Jodie’s expert eye, your dog will practice recall, enjoy nature-based enrichment, and socialize in a safe, satellite-tracked, trainer-led group of no more than four dogs.
PRIVATE TRAINING
Custom solutions for real-world living.
Skip the crowded big-box classes. Jodie provides one-on-one, rewards-based training tailored to your specific goals. From puppy basics and loose-leash walking to managing "big feelings" and reactivity, we build a bridge of communication between you and your dog.
DAY CAMP
Socialization with a purpose.
Perfect for the adolescent dog who needs to burn energy and learn manners. Day Camp combines the physical outlet of an adventure with structured socialization. Your dog learns how to play politely and settle down, even when the fun is high.
DAYTIME PETSITTING
Professional care in the comfort of home.
Going away for the day or have a senior dog who prefers the couch to the trail? Our pet sitting isn't "neighbor kid" care—it’s professional, insured, and expert-level attention. We provide enrichment, wellness checks, and companionship for all your animals, ensuring your home remains their sanctuary.
LED BY THE BEST
Building trust, one tail at a time.
Jodie Fitzgerald, our lead trainer in Winnipeg Beach, brings the gold standard of canine care to Manitoba. As a professional committed to positive reinforcement, she is highly skilled in canine body language and group dynamics. Jodie’s approach is based on building loving and trusting relationships, ensuring your dog feels safe and fulfilled.
When your dog is living their best life,
so can you!

Hooray!
We tried other non-trainer-led solutions for our high-energy Vizsla. It created more issues than it solved… too many dogs and not enough management.
With Dog Adventures Northwest, Obi’s recall has significantly improved and he is just a happier boy!His trainer gives reports on how the day went, works with us to resolve any issues, is super communicative and flexible, and works hard to make sure all the dogs have a great time.
Do your pup a favor and sign up for an adventure!
