Team

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our dog’s favorite part of the week are her dog adventures. Kerry and her crew are the best dog trainers and are fantastic to work with. We are SO happy, and so is our pup.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is such an awesome company! My sister sent her dog to their Board and Learn program, and he came back having learned a ton. I send my 8-month-old puppy to their weekly adventures and cannot even begin to describe how much she loves it. Verena, the trainer she works, with is so sweet and clearly treats her very well. My puppy Zuzu loves the adventures so much that one day she thought she saw Verena's car and she lost her mind in excitement (and was very disappointed to find out that it wasn't Verena). Zuzu comes back clean, tired, happy, and her recall skills are always improved. I can't say enough good things about this company - if you're considering using their services, don't hesitate! The owner, Kerry, is very responsive and kind. I don't think I can ever move, because I know I won't ever be able to find a place like this again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is amazing and I highly recommend them! The owner, Kerry, is so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. She paired us with the perfect trainer for our new puppy, based on our needs and situation. Kate, our trainer, was incredible and our puppy loves her. He is always so excited to see her and sad to say goodbye. We have done a mix of basic training and socialization, including puppy Day Camp with Hannah (who is amazing as well). My pup learned a lot and had so much fun. The knowledge I have gained is valuable as I continue to reinforce my Bogey's behavior at home. I'm looking forward to future adventures with DANW!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing trainers and services! Our dog LOVES Peter (I think maybe even more than us)! He always comes back so happy and tired from his adventures. Could not recommend more highly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These folks are the best! Our 6-year-old German Shepherd has so many great adventures, and her life is fuller because of Dog Adventures Northwest. Our "puppy" is not always easy, but they train her well, they're kind, they show up on time, they take great photos, and they are, overall, are terrific!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My 9-month-old border collie, Doc, is always excited to see Simone and go for an adventure. She comes back tired and happily sleeps away the afternoon. Simone was great with her during the meet and greet. Doc's behavior is noticeably better since starting to go on adventures with Dog Adventures Northwest - she's having an easier time ignoring other dogs while walking and during hikes, she checks in more when she's off-leash, and she is better at matching the energy levels of other dogs when playing instead of being a furry missile.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My puppy and I had a wonderful experience with Hannah at Dog Adventures Northwest. Hannah really helped me understand what my puppy was thinking and what motivates him in various behaviors. She helped me a lot with leash walking, especially when she walked behind us and coached as we went along. I appreciated her knowledge, encouragement, and great follow up emails, complete with wonderful photographs. A good trainer needs to be creative and assess what a puppy needs in every situation. Hannah is an excellent improviser and I could tell that she really enjoys and loves her canine clients!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hannah was awesome. I learned a lot in one visit. No pressure to schedule another appointment. My dog responded very well to the training. I would definitely recommend Dog Adventures Northwest to friends and family and will use them again in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a very informative session with trainer Hannah and we look forward to our next check in!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Autumn at Dog Adventures NW. She watched our mini dachshund, who is quite a handful, while we were out of town to get married. It was important for us to find a person and a company that offered in-house care, to not disrupt his scenery and routine as much as possible. Needless to say, we wanted to make sure we had someone caring, trustworthy, and loving to watch our little guy in our home while we were out of town for such an important event. Autumn's updates—both text and photos—were so fun to get each evening, ensuring us he was ok, well taken care of, and doing well. Her written recaps were little stories and her photos were always so cute! (Who doesn't love photos of their own dog while they are away?) The recaps kept us in sync with how he was doing and made us feel like we were up-to-date with what was going on. I honestly think our pup was kinda bummed when we came home because he loved his time, walks, pets, and snuggles with Autumn so much. She left everything cleaner than it was before and watered our plants too. We will definitely book with her again when we need someone to watch Otto. It's nice knowing their Dog Adventures NW team hires reliable and dog-loving/trained people. We love Autumn! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have had a very positive experience with Dog Adventures Northwest. Autumn is my my dog's leader, and she is a very caring and responsible person. Dog Adventures Northwest has their own acreage out on Sauvie Island. My dog gets loads of exercise and fun and comes home ready for some rest. I highly recommend this great company!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Obsessed with Dog Adventures NW! My high energy love bug of a Bernedoodle LOVES his adventures with Autumn and Alex. Norman also does Day Camp with Kerry (and one-on-one obedience as well). I love that all of the people at DANW love my Norman as much as I do. He comes home super regulated and happy from his exercise and play with his doggie friends.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The thought of letting my beloved but headstrong 5-year-old German Shepherd, Kyrie, go out into the world with someone besides me was terrifying. I had recently been working too many hours to give Kyrie the mental and physical stimulation she needed and deserved. Dog Adventures Northwest was referred to me, and after chatting with the owner, Kerry Ryan, I met the certified dog trainer who would take Kyrie for a trial adventure. I decided to chance it, and really, I have never looked back. Kerry (and trainers Jess, Jamie, Alyss, and Rosie) have all become members of Team Kyrie. Kyrie adores all of them, slightly losing her mind when any of them arrive outside my door. I have come to trust all of the trainers - especially the integrity, care and concern of Kerry - completely. In the last year of adventures there have been house alarms set off and a beehives dogs have gotten into. The alarms were disabled with calm and good cheer, while the beehive was handled with selfless bravery with no harm to the dogs. This carries over into rain adventures, snow adventures, and even figuring out how to keep Kyrie from eating obnoxious things by finding her the perfect ball to hold in her mouth. That doesn't even cover the joy I get from the beautiful photos of Kyrie and her friends I receive right after every adventure. The reports include photos, a funny but complete description of the adventure that day, and the interaction between Kyrie and her pack mates. Kerry and Dog Adventures Northwest have immeasurably added to the quality of both Kyrie's life and mine. She chooses her staff and runs her business with the utmost integrity. I have rarely been involved with any service provider whom I trust so implicitly and would recommend so wholeheartedly. Kyrie adds, "Woof!! Woof!!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am one of those people who considers their dogs as their kids. I wouldn't trust just anyone to care for our two guys. We use Dog Adventures Northwest for pet sitting and also for adventures. Kerry, the owner, is fantastic. I absolutely love her personality, as she is so easy to work with. She has wonderful customer service skills and does a great job in selecting the trainers that work with Dog Adventures Northwest. I have had a couple of last minute trips and she has always had me covered and gotten us the best trainers to take care of our two dogs. John has been our primary pet sitter and sole outdoor adventurer for our guys. He is awesome! When he shows up at the door, our dogs are ecstatic... their best friend has arrived to take them to the river! When we go on trips, he stays in regular communication with us and gives us regular updates and sends tons of pics. He even spoils them with fun adventures to the dog park. We know our dogs are in good hands. Recently, Samuel has done a couple of pet sitting stays for us and we were extremely impressed. He took our dogs on 3 walks a day, each, and encouraged good behaviors (such as impulse control) when encountering other dogs. Not only was he pet sitting but he was doing some good training with our dogs! He also kept us updated very regularly and was very proactive about telling us when either of our dogs wasn't feeling well (bad tummy). Samuel has excellent attention to detail and followed our care directions precisely when it came to caring for a bad tummy and our dog recovered very quickly. He was also cognizant of our dog who has a fear of loud noises. Both Samuel and John are very trustworthy and took great care of our homes while pet sitting. Our home was in the same condition (if not cleaner) than we left it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We're new to Dog Adventures Northwest, but after one pet sitting session, I will rate them five stars. Here's why: We have one very friendly dog, and one super-fearful-of-strangers dog who barks at pretty much any person who's not in the family. While planning a ski trip weekend, we decided to go with an in-home sitter, figuring a familiar setting would give him a better chance at success. We had our sitter, Phillip, meet Cider (the scaredy pup) prior to our weekend away twice. Cider was fearful and barking the first time, but relaxed a little bit the second time and Phillip was wonderful. He figured he would be able to make things work, and he was right. By the third day of his stay with Cider and Posey, Cider had stopped barking at Phillip, and would cuddle near him on the couch. Our dog is a very challenging assignment, and Phillip handled him brilliantly. We will definitely be using DANW in the future and already have an appointment set with a trainer to work with Cider on reducing his fear.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our first experience with Dog Adventures NW was puppy training day camp and overnights, which was amazing! Now, we have a full-grown, high-energy pup who loves adventures! We joined Bobby's outdoor adventure group and it has been amazing. Our dog is over-the-moon excited when Bobby comes to pick her up each week. He takes the best action photos of her running, playing, swimming, and resting with friends. Bobby has been very communicative and lovely to work with. I fully trust him with Juniper. We have a tired and happy pup come home each week! Dog Adventures NW for the win!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have had a great time training with Dog Adventures Northwest. They have formed a strong bond with our pup, Rufus! Although they said he was smart and well-behaved, he didn't really pay that much attention to training. But the advice, games, and tips they gave us are helping our girls interact with Rufus in a positive way. Thank you Dog Adventures Northwest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is an absolutely wonderful company! I turned to them after I received a recommendation from a friend to help with my new puppy's training, and the service I received was even better than I could have hoped for. Dog Adventures Northwest trainers are caring, responsive, and detailed experts around puppy training. They really help to teach you how to get the best from your new puppy. I could not recommend highly enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are so thankful we've found Kerry! Our dog, Mavis, absolutely loves the time she spends at Kerry's house and we appreciate boarding her in a warm, caring home versus a boarding facility. Along with her daily outdoor adventures to the river or running through the forest, Mavis enjoys spending her day playing with her buddies (the resident dogs), lounging on the sofa with human friends, and roaming about the house. Mavis is treated with the same care and attention Kerry provides to her own dogs, with plenty of love and attention. While Mavis is in Kerry's care, we enjoy receiving our daily pictures and updates of our big, sweet girl. As a younger puppy, we also had Kerry do some puppy training sessions to help Mavis master some of her good canine citizen skills. Kerry shared some tips and tricks with us for exercises and training to do at home. Additionally, if she notices anything off about Mavis, she is sure to let us know and always gives us great advice. We're so grateful to have someone committed to the same level of care for our Mavis as we are.

On a scale from 1-10 I would rate Dog Adventures a 1000. This was our first time working with a professional pet sitter, and truly, I could not have asked for a better experience. I was really nervous about leaving my pup and kitty alone for the first time, especially since both of them were having some health stuff going on before us leaving. The sitter we worked with, Caroline, was communicative, reassuring, and it was very clear that she was prioritizing our pets' comfort and not trying to rush them before they were comfortable with her. She also took great care of our house while we were away. We will absolutely be working with them again in the future, and I highly recommend them for pet sitting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've had excellent experiences with the dog sitters I've used through Dog Adventures Northwest (Ellaree and Caroline). Morning and evening updates (and sometimes more!), clean and tidy house when I got home, and most importantly, it was clear they both took excellent care of my reactive pup with lots of walks, play, and cuddles. I especially appreciate the care they took to manage my dog on walks and work with her on her dog reactivity. This is a great company, with great dog sitters, and I highly recommend them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We were so thrilled with the care and attention provided by Dog Adventures NW and specifically by Caroline. She not only took THE BEST care of our pups while we were away for two weeks, she spoiled them like WE do with love, snuggles, treats, walks, positive training, playtime... and she updated us with specific details and images the entire time! We have never had such a great dog/house-sitter EVER! Thank you a million times over for the incredible care of our pups and our home while we were away. We are so grateful to have found you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love DANW and couldn't recommend it enough! CJ has been taking our GSP, Mac, out for the past couple months and has been great!! He is always communicative and sends the BEST pictures of our Mac having a great day. Mac looks forward to his adventures every week and is worn out after all the running and playing. We've even noticed Mac's recall has improved significantly since working with CJ, which is an added bonus to his adventure days!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our dog needed some confidence building... She was unsure about dog walkers, and we wanted her to be socializing with other dogs. I realize I sound like an overprotective neurotic parent, and…. that might be accurate. We sure found the perfect person for our baby! CJ took time with her, letting her warm up to him each time with endless patience, and now she greets him at the door, eager to adventure. It’s so nice to know she’s off independently living her best life when she’s out with him and her buddies. I can tell the difference in her confidence and recall as well. CJ is a gem!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okay, I'm a little biased because back in the day I worked for this amazing company prior to working in pet nutrition. BUT! I know what it's like to be scared to hire someone you don't know to take care of your baby. And that's what these guys are all about. That's their number one priority is making sure that your pet is safe and happy the entire time they are in their care. All these guys are certified in dog training, animal behavior, and animal CPR. I wouldn't trust my special needs dog with anyone else. Believe me, I'm very particular with my dogs needs, and these guys are on it. So grateful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is an amazing service. We have a high-energy, smart puppy who needs a task to stay focused. These adventures are perfect. They allow for great socialization with a small cohort of dogs while also taking them to a variety of new location and experiences. The dogs are allowed to roam and explore while still have basic training reinforced in a distraction filled environment. The staff is caring and passionate about what they do and treat the dogs like their own. Every time our dog sees John, Taylor, Fernando, or U.b., she squeals with joy. We feel so lucky to have found this company and look forward to seeing the photos of our pup each week enjoying the fun. Thank you, Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love Dog Adventures Northwest as much as our seven-month-old lab does. Her trainers, Verena and Fernando, are wonderful with our high energy puppy, Winnow. The opportunity to swim, run, fetch, and play with her dog pack is one of the highlights of her week. She has had weekly adventures for months, with plans to continue indefinitely. Her recall has improved noticeably since working with Verena and Fernando. The convenience of having Winnow picked up and dropped off, safely and reliably, is a huge plus. To top it off, we get helpful, regular feedback from Winnow's trainers after every session. We feel that it is money well spent on the training, exercise, and fun for our very active pup.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog adventures NW has been a wonderful addition for my 2 year old Newfoundland girl. All she’s wanted to do is make friends but she doesn't know her size and a lot of dogs are scared of her... she’s been out twice and is learning dog boundaries and she gets to have the best day with Fernando n her friends and learn skills while she’s doing it! Awesome service! Fernando makes me feel comfortable with him takin Moose out n Moose seems to really enjoy him n his crew.

Gie is the most amazing & patient trainer to exist! Our puppy gets excited when we pull up because he knows that means time with Gie! We've been working with her for about a month & have already seen such a difference in our dogs behavior. She provides extremely detailed notes, videos, & links after every session or boarding so that we can properly reinforce what was learned & continue to make meaningful progress with our pup while at home. I'd recommend her to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We contacted Dog Adventures Northwest when we were looking for some help with our highly impressionable and overly exuberant three month old German Shorthaired Pointer, Rupert. We were looking for services to help us give Rupert a solid foundation of good behaviors including house manners. Signing up with Gie for Day Camp was the best decision we could have made. Gie is easy going, insightful and experienced. Rupert has been attending Dog Day Camp with Gie two days a week for the last five weeks and we’ve been absolutely amazed by the progress we’ve seen. Rupert’s house manners, impulse control, leash manners, and so much more are all further developed than we could have imagined. In addition, an added benefit has been that Gie has also worked to help us learn so that we can continue the training she does with him ourselves. We’re so pleased with our Gie experience and we look forward to having a bright doggy future with Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've been a bit skeptical of dog training/walking services in the past. Will they really work? Is it worth the money? Then I adopted this cutie, Bailey, from One Tail at a Time PDX and he came with some anxiety that was making it difficult to train him on my own. The wonderful veterinary staff at Brooklyn Yard Veterinary Hospital recommended that I contact a trainer who happens to work with Dog Adventures Northwest and the rest is history! Working with Rosie, Kerry, and John, has been a dream. On long, rainy days when my kiddo doesn't want to go on a walk, John comes and takes him on an adventure and he comes home happy and tired! Did I mention Bailey is a puppy? A 50 lbs, 8-month-old, crazy puppy? We've only been working with DANW for a few months and I have already seen major improvements with Bailey’s confidence at dog parks and his ability to judge situations that he should avoid. Now I’m a believer. It IS worth it to have these highly skilled and certified trainers work with your pets. They are trustworthy, friendly, and great to work with. They will even send you updates with photos and descriptions of what happened on the adventure. When John says “bye, Bailey, I love you” after dropping him back off... I almost lose it, y’all.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was very anxious when I first decided that I wanted to choose someone to take my newest rescue out for more exercise during my long work week. I knew that he liked dogs but that he could get nervous in overwhelming situations and I also wanted an element of training in his day to help him build better focus outside (Gordy has an incredible prey drive). Our trainer with Dog Adventures Northwest came to my house and met him and made me feel really comfortable about moving forward with an adventure. I was so pleased with the calm, happy dog I had waiting for me at home. Kerry picked the perfect buddy for him to run with, which is what I most wanted for him. Thank you so much for your patience and skill!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WE LOVE DOG ADVENTURES NW and Mindy Cook! I was very nervous to trust someone with our fur baby, not only just for a day adventure, but for adventure boarding as well. Mindy Cook has been fantastic with our boy, and he absolutely loves her! Our dog is a one year old Golden Retriever that is full of energy. He goes on a weekly adventure with Mindy, and comes home a very happy and sleepy boy! She always works with him on the adventure (no jumping, recall, etc.) and we get a full update, with pictures each time. It is great socialization for our young boy. We also had our dog adventure board with Mindy and her family. Her dog and ours were fast friends. He was able to stay in her home and be a member of her pack for a week. Mindy provided updates daily, and was very responsive to my text messages, etc. We will for sure use Mindy for adventure boarding in the future, and of course continue the weekly adventures! I highly recommend Dog Adventures NW!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have been signed up with Dog Adventures for a while, since we had our baby. We work with Cyrus now, and he’s amazing. Our dog trusts him and loves when comes to pick her up. They seem to have an awesome time out in the wild. I’m really happy we have this opportunity to let her run free with other pups and a solid trainer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love DANW and couldn't recommend it enough! CJ has been taking our GSP, Mac, out for the past couple months and has been great!! He is always communicative and sends the BEST pictures of our Mac having a great day. Mac looks forward to his adventures every week and is worn out after all the running and playing. We've even noticed Mac's recall has improved significantly since working with CJ, which is an added bonus to his adventure days!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have had a great time training with Dog Adventures Northwest. They have formed a strong bond with our pup, Rufus!

Our dog is a very challenging assignment, and Phillip handled him brilliantly. We will definitely be using DANW in the future and already have an appointment set with a trainer to work with Cider on reducing his fear.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's a wonderful feeling to know that John is staying with Herman and Marcel (our two Sphynx cats) when we are out of town. Yes, we know they are well cared for, but it's also obvious how much John appreciates them and understands their individual personalities. He even sends Instagram-worthy pictures periodically so we can see how much they're enjoying time with 'Uncle John.' Some people have a gift for relating with animals and John is one of them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest ROCKS! What an amazing service. Our high-energy, 21-month-old, 80 lbs teenage Rhodesian Ridgeback has been with DANW from a young age. She goes on twice weekly adventures with the amazing Cyrus. She has the best time while out in amazing nature settings with a small group of dog buddies. She comes home very happy and exhausted. They have convenient scheduling, communication, and billing through their online portal. Tons of pics and a pet report after each adventure. Trainers will let you know about estimated pick-up and drop off time - this service is dialed. Super happy with the other trainers we have used as well and it's obvious they all love their job. We have also used DANW for Day Camps and when we are out of town it's our trusted place for Boarding as well. Great communication with the owner, Kerry. She will work with you to find the best fit for your dog. Can't say enough great things about DANW.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My girls just love when DANW comes to pet sit in our home! We appreciate the care that our sitter Jac provided while we were away. Right before leaving, our Black Lab came up lame on her right shoulder and it was hard to leave. Jac cared for her and kept us updated all throughout our absence. By the time we got home, she was back to normal. We so appreciated our sitter's knowledge and expertise. Her love of dogs shined through. Both of our dogs can't wait until the next time Jac comes to visit!

I am delighted to write a glowing review for Jac, our wonderful dog sitter who went above and beyond for our Tonks while sitting for our 3 fur babies. We knew that Tonks, Albus, and Pennington would be in good hands. Jac took the time to get to know all three pets, asking all the right questions about their habits, likes, and dislikes, to ensure that she could provide the best possible care. We received regular updates and photos, which was such a thoughtful gesture that helped put our minds at ease. We could see that the crew was happy, comfortable, and well-cared for, which was such a relief. Jac went above and beyond, taking Tonks to the vet after a daycare accident, and keeping Tonks calm and well taken care of till our return. We cannot recommend Jac and the Dog Adventures Northwest team enough. She is a true professional, kind, caring, and excellent dog sitter. If you're looking for someone to take care of your furry friend, look no further than Jac and the Dog Adventures Northwest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We've been using Dog Adventures Northwest now for the last year or so to help watch our dogs Ripley & Winston (King Charles Cav and Great Dane). We were a little nervous about letting folks into our home while we were away for overnight stays initially. That fear was immediately resolved as Kerry's team of dog watchers and trainers were incredibly communicative, respectful, and flexible in getting us matched with the help we needed quickly. We've searched a long time for a dog sitting service whose people we could trust and are so happy to have found Dog Adventures. Thank you, Kerry, and thank YOU Jac for most recently staying overnight with our pups - They clearly loved the time with you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I was introduced to the owner of Dog Adventures Northwest, Kerry Ryan, at a housewarming party this past Summer and finally had an opportunity to reach out and utilize her services. I am so glad I did!!! She was extremely professional on the phone, answered all of our questions and was able to get us on the schedule quickly for 24-hour care while we were away. She partnered us with Hannah who couldn't have taken better care of our pups. Hannah was super responsive, gave us daily updates and truly cared for our dogs while away. We will definitely be using them again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've had excellent experiences with the dog sitters I've used through Dog Adventures Northwest (Ellaree and Caroline).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My puppy and I had a wonderful experience with Hannah at Dog Adventures Northwest. Hannah really helped me understand what my puppy was thinking and what motivates him in various behaviors. She helped me a lot with leash walking, especially when she walked behind us and coached as we went along. I appreciated her knowledge, encouragement, and great follow up emails, complete with wonderful photographs. A good trainer needs to be creative and assess what a puppy needs in every situation. Hannah is an excellent improviser and I could tell that she really enjoys and loves her canine clients!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We've used this company (Jess, in particular) for several months and are very satisfied - actually more than satisfied. I knew it would be great for the pup, but it's been great for us too! They've taken our energetic Husky puppy on adventures, given him mental stimulation and training sessions plus lots of snuggles and love. They are easy to work with, have fair policies, and there's an awesome app that makes scheduling, payment, and sharing photos super easy. We had Baz stay with Jess as part of the Board and Learn program and we didn't for one second worry about him (or what bad habits he could be learning from a cheap dog sitter). We are excited that Baz can grow up attending adventures with Jess as his nanny!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have had a great time training with Dog Adventures Northwest. They have formed a strong bond with our pup, Rufus! Although they said he was smart and well-behaved, he didn't really pay that much attention to training. But the advice, games, and tips they gave us are helping our girls interact with Rufus in a positive way. Thank you Dog Adventures Northwest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you to Caroline and Samuel, the great pet sitters we've had from Dog Adventures Northwest! They spoil our dog wonderfully and give him tons of attention, play, and walks. Our special pup has quirks that they've handled with confidence, patience, and understanding. We love the great communication and pictures they send while we're away. It puts our minds at ease to see how happy our dog is and know from his appearance that he's having fun.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest has enriched my Tova's life in such a positive way! I was really worried about her leaving with people she didn't know as she has socialization issues, but I can't say enough about what a great experience she's had. My girl went through the socialization adventure and I saw major improvement in her fear level decrease. When she goes out on her adventures with Peter, she comes back a happy, tired dog! They even take photos of your dog having fun and post then for you to see. I can look and see what fun she's having.

She used to be afraid of other dogs but now she can't wait to play. After having bad experiences all over town trying to find the right place to suit my dog's needs, I felt disheartened until a trainer recommended Dog Adventures Northwest. Finally, a place that truly helped my dog experience fun in public without being afraid.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is such an amazing company! The staff is absolutely wonderful, very friendly and easy to work with. The trainers are very professional, attentive and knowledgeable to my dog's needs and training routines. I know my dog is in good hands when he is out on his adventures. I have been with this company for 6 months now and absolutely love the service. When Jamie comes to the door to pick Samson up, he is full of excitement and they are full of love for him! Samson comes home with the biggest smile on his face and you can tell he has had the best day. I also get a message after his adventures with the day's recap and some great photos of my dog on his outing. I love the pick up and drop off service as it makes it very convenient! If I am not home for pick up and or drop off, I have a spare key outside so Samson does not miss his day out. I fully trust Jamie with access to the key as they are very reliable and honest. His leash is always put back where I keep it and she makes sure the TV is left on for him as he is one spoiled boy. I highly recommend this company as Kerry (the owner) has put her heart and soul into creating an incredible brand.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We've been sending our 2 y.o. dog with Dog Adventures NW for the past 6 months. Bandit has thrived under Kira's handling -- she's worked with us to target key behaviors (down regulation around other dogs) which has helped overall with his behavior. Plus, his recall has really improved!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our two dogs and us love our dog walker, Cyrus, and all the walkers they have had with Dog Adventures Northwest. They are always on time and take into consideration each dog's needs. The day they go on an adventure is their favorite day of the week (mine too)!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My dog Star has been with Kerry Ryan since she was a puppy and absolutely loves her. In addition to hiking with Star, Kerry has played a role in helping me train her. Walking and running with Star during the day has kept her healthy and happy and has relieved me of my guilt of having to leave her alone during most of the day. Star can't wait to be picked up and comes home with a huge smile and ready for a well-deserved nap. Dog Adventures Northwest provides quality, dependable, loving care for my dog. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dog walking service. They will pick up your dog and drop your dog off. But most importantly, your dog will get to hang out with a well-behaved social pack led by an actual dog dog trainer and will always come home happy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot speak highly enough about Dog Adventures Northwest! Kerry, the owner, bent over backwards to quickly find a group for our pup, Siggy, when we were struggling with separation anxiety. Everyone has been super accommodating of our schedules, and they communicate quickly and efficiently using the app. Siggy started going on adventures this fall. He adores Jamie and absolutely loves going on adventures with the three other dogs in his group. How do we know? Jamie sends us the most fabulous pictures of Siggy having fun playing with the other dogs. We appreciate Jamie's demeanor with dogs, and love that they use positive reinforcement to train recall and good behavior during the adventure. We are grateful for the exercise, stimulation, socialization, and love that Siggy gets on his adventures.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I say 'Kerry' around my Maltipoo, he looks up at me and wonders when the fun begins! Kerry's love of dogs and her amazing training skills with dogs make my Levi one happy little camper. Little dogs need exercise too!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My 8-month-old dog has been going on weekly adventures for the past month and LOVES them! She squirms with delight when Clara comes to pick her up, and her recall is getting better each week. She comes home a very tired and happy pup! Communication with Clara, the trainer, and Kerry, the owner, is very easy and responsive. They both have been wonderful to work with. Scheduling is also very easy either via text/email or the app. Clara sends an update and great photos after each outing. I will definitely use their boarding/sitting services when I need to travel. They are a very trustworthy and caring company. I highly recommend DANW.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an excellent experience getting training lessons for, Rosie, my exuberant Boxer puppy. Her leash reactivity and ability to refocus was much improved from the sessions. They also took my pup on adventures with other dogs to bond and have play time. Skip the big apps and book with Dog Adventures Northwest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mindy Cook and Dog Adventures Northwest are fabulous. Our pup has had such a great time on her adventures each week with Mindy, and she gets excellent care and exercise. I highly recommend them. I also appreciate the details they gather before scheduling a service. I feel Izzy is in the best hands.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WE LOVE DOG ADVENTURES NW and Mindy Cook! I was very nervous to trust someone with our fur baby, not only just for a day adventure, but for adventure boarding as well. Mindy Cook has been fantastic with our boy, and he absolutely loves her! Our dog is a one year old Golden Retriever that is full of energy. He goes on a weekly adventure with Mindy, and comes home a very happy and sleepy boy! She always works with him on the adventure (no jumping, recall, etc.) and we get a full update, with pictures each time. It is great socialization for our young boy. We also had our dog adventure board with Mindy and her family. Her dog and ours were fast friends. He was able to stay in her home and be a member of her pack for a week. Mindy provided updates daily, and was very responsive to my text messages, etc. We will for sure use Mindy for adventure boarding in the future, and of course continue the weekly adventures! I highly recommend Dog Adventures NW!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't say enough good things about Dog Adventures Northwest. We moved to Portland in September, and found them when we were looking for a trainer for our then very young, slightly anxious puppy. Kate worked with him on resetting his basic training and then onto socialization sessions. He loved his time with Kate so much that we signed him up for weekly off-leash adventures (we've used Jaime, Verena, Mindy, Simone, and Clara), and they're just amazing for him!! He comes home tired, happy, and hungry. Which makes for very happy puppy parents. Amazing service, amazing communication, and seriously amazing photos of our tiny sausage having the time of his life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've had excellent experiences with the dog sitters I've used through Dog Adventures Northwest (Ellaree and Caroline). Morning and evening updates (and sometimes more!), clean and tidy house when I got home, and most importantly, it was clear they both took excellent care of my reactive pup with lots of walks, play, and cuddles. I especially appreciate the care they took to manage my dog on walks and work with her on her dog reactivity. This is a great company, with great dog sitters, and I highly recommend them.

On a scale from 1-10 I would rate Dog Adventures a 1000. This was our first time working with a professional pet sitter, and truly, I could not have asked for a better experience. I was really nervous about leaving my pup and kitty alone for the first time, especially since both of them were having some health stuff going on before us leaving. The sitter we worked with, Caroline, was communicative, reassuring, and it was very clear that she was prioritizing our pets' comfort and not trying to rush them before they were comfortable with her. She also took great care of our house while we were away. We will absolutely be working with them again in the future, and I highly recommend them for pet sitting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My girls just love when DANW comes to pet sit in our home! We appreciate the care that our sitter Jac provided while we were away. Right before leaving, our Black Lab came up lame on her right shoulder and it was hard to leave. Jac cared for her and kept us updated all throughout our absence. By the time we got home, she was back to normal. We so appreciated our sitter's knowledge and expertise. Her love of dogs shined through. Both of our dogs can't wait until the next time Jac comes to visit!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have had a great time training with Dog Adventures Northwest. They have formed a strong bond with our pup, Rufus! Although they said he was smart and well-behaved, he didn't really pay that much attention to training. But the advice, games, and tips they gave us are helping our girls interact with Rufus in a positive way. Thank you Dog Adventures Northwest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our pup is loving her outings with Simone!! She’s a rescue who was crated a lot in her first year and a half, and so we wanted her to have some good experiences socializing with other dogs and developing trust in people besides just us. Her confidence has grown amazingly in just a couple months! She is so excited to see Simone for her outing each week 💖 I love getting the reports and pics of the outings!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have had a very positive experience with Dog Adventures Northwest. Autumn is my my dog's leader, and she is a very caring and responsible person. Dog Adventures Northwest has their own acreage out on Sauvie Island. My dog gets loads of exercise and fun and comes home ready for some rest. I highly recommend this great company!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our Welsh Springer Spaniel has been adventuring three times a week with Dog Adventures Northwest (DANW) for four years. The owner and trainers at DANW are all trained, or training, in positive reinforcement techniques which are critical to building confidence in a young, sensitive dog. They have helped our dog truly love his time adventuring with his small, curated pack.

The trainers (Jaime, Kate, Shawna, and Verena) are full of integrity, consistency, love and kindness and can be relied upon to make sure our dog is safe at all times. He comes home tired and sleeps for the rest of the day after sniffing, zooming, and hiking until his heart and soul is content. DANW is highly professional and I will HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend DANW to anyone who asks me. Please call DANW and ask for a personal recommendation from me if you have any questions. I’d be more than happy to chat on the phone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have been sending our 2-year-old Vizsla out on adventures with Dog Adventures Northwest for years now and have been thrilled with the care, attention, and exercise he gets. Shawna, in particular, is fabulous and is now taking him out on all of his weekly outings. She really gets to know the dogs she works with so that she can individualize her interactions with them. He comes back each time with reinforced or new skills, and is even tired for awhile (which for a young Vizsla is saying something). I highly recommend DANW!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic organization. Our energetic German Shepherd LOVES her hikes with U.b. and we love how happily exhausted she is after each one. We highly recommend DANW.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ U.b. from Dog Adventures Northwest is the absolute best! We do outdoor adventures, and our dogs love their hiking day routine so much. U.b. takes such good care of our dogs, is so communicative and sets great expectations of what their day will look like. Our dogs get great exercise, social interaction, and reinforcements of commands (somehow, it coming from someone else makes listening to us easier for them afterwards 😆). We love the recaps after adventures and feel our dogs are so cared for! We could not recommend U.b. and Dog Adventures NW enough! 🙌

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is an amazing service. We have a high-energy, smart puppy who needs a task to stay focused. These adventures are perfect. They allow for great socialization with a small cohort of dogs while also taking them to a variety of new location and experiences. The dogs are allowed to roam and explore while still have basic training reinforced in a distraction filled environment. The staff is caring and passionate about what they do and treat the dogs like their own. Every time our dog sees John, Taylor, Fernando, or U.b., she squeals with joy. We feel so lucky to have found this company and look forward to seeing the photos of our pup each week enjoying the fun. Thank you, Dog Adventures Northwest.
