Team

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think it's quite possible that Stella just had her best day EVER as a puppy, guided by trainer Kerry Ryan! I'm so thrilled to hear about her learning to swim and of ALL of the great training, particularly her off-leash recall. And of course, socializing her with the kids. I can't tell you what it means to us knowing she's having a wonderful time and in such good hands while we're working. She totally loves Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I could talk about how much we love Dog Adventures Northwest... but the real vote belongs to our pup, Lily. We have a special text-tone for Kerry and Lily always knows when she is on her way for an adventure! She hears it and happily runs right to the door.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Several months ago, we signed our 1-year-old dog up for adventures twice a week and he has been loving it. Our dog was very hesitant about leaving the house and getting into someone else's car. After a few adventures, though, he fell in love with his handler and truly looks forward to his outings with her. He knows the days he's going to be picked up and listens very carefully to the sound of the gate opening. He rushes to the door where his trainer picks him up, and doesn't greet any other human like he greets her. Our older dog is now going out with them as well. I highly recommend their great services and the love they put into each dog within their care.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I are SO happy we found Dog Adventures Northwest. Kerry is very easy to work with and reliable. She responds to our scheduling questions promptly and we love working with her. Now onto our dog... it's hard when your dog loves her trainer sooo much more than you, but we quickly get over it when we have a tired and happy pup return home. Our dog looks for Peter out the window every morning, waiting for his car to pull up because she is so excited to go on an adventure with him. Her recall has drastically improved, and we are so thankful for the training work Peter does while on the adventure. It's been worth every penny.

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

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 call Jess Lara our Dog Whisperer. She is doing a wonderful job with our 10-month-old Standard Poodle, Jasper. Jasper and Jess get out and about in different public settings to help with his socialization. We get frequent photo updates, and great training notes for continuing Jasper's progress at home. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention Jess and Dog Adventures Northwest is providing our family member.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is the best of the best! If you want a happy dog, this is THE PLACE and THE EXPERTS. The trainers are outstanding and the adventures will put a big smile on your dog's face. I can't say enough about them, they helped me through a very difficult doggie transition. Tender lovin' hearts all around. I get photos and a report every day about my Mimi. It's a joy to know she is in their most competent hands while we are gone. Thank you everyone at Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OK, I can't say enough about this amazing group of specialists/trainers/dog whisperers. I trust my dog with them weekly and when we go away. She has had nothing but super positive experiences. They have turned on a dime to accommodate us, and my dog comes back to me happy and tired. She's well adjusted but when we tried to use a doggy day care, she came back stressed out. This experience has been night and day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kerry and her whole team have been amazing supporters, advocates, and friends in helping with two of our dogs. They are flexible and approach problems with patience and experience that I truly appreciate. They truly find happiness with the animals and have helped me understand how to approach challenges. I am grateful to have this team help me with my doggie journeys.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am so thankful to the wonderful care that John provides for my pooch, and for the excellent communication by the owner, Kerry, at Dog Adventures Northwest. My doggo has extremely high anxiety and letting new humans into his trusted pack is difficult. When I first started working with DANW three years ago, John showed patience and flexibility in building trust with my dog. When my dog began struggling with his play regulation, John was again able to find adaptive ways to help him keep learning and exploring safely. I am so very grateful for John, Kerry, and DANW!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My dog has had a great time with U.b and Jackson! Knowledgeable, friendly staff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My dog Duke loves his weekly adventure with trainer, John, and enjoys the exercise and the companionship when we aren't home. The adventures have improved his behavior and I know he looks forward to them. Duke also loves his pet sits with John when we go out of town. Duke has a sensitive stomach and lots of requirements but John does a fabulous job taking care of everything. And Boarding is so much fun we often joke that Duke doesn't want to come home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Duke for us!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ OK, I can't say enough about this amazing group of specialists/trainers/dog whisperers. I trust my dog with them weekly and when we go away. She has had nothing but super positive experiences. They have turned on a dime to accommodate us, and my dog comes back to me happy and tired. She's well adjusted but when we tried to use a doggy day care, she came back stressed out. This experience has been night and day.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is the BEST. Don't waste your time searching, googling, and testing out other dog care/adventure places. Kerry, Jess, and all of the other trainers there are serious about lovin and adventuring your dog! When I first got my puppy, we tried 3 different trainers at different companies, other classes, etc. They just didn't compare. The quality of the adventures and the trainers is just exceptional. Kerry is super on it if there needs to be a substitute, scheduling, or invoicing change. My dog lives an enchanted life with Dog Adventures Northwest while we are at work. It's well worth it, and your dog will be a happier/better dog for it. Big thanks to DANW.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't say enough about the folks at Dog Adventures Northwest. Our boy, Babylon, is an exuberant Lab/Pit mix who’s deep into adolescence. (Read: he listens when he wants to!) Thankfully, trainer Jaime has the patience and energy to keep up with him. Babylon adores his weekly adventures with Jaime and a small crew of dogs. They've also taken care of him several times when we were out of town, and truly does treat him like one of the family. Other trainers have been excellent as well. This is a well-run business populated by experienced dog lovers. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Several months ago, we signed our 1-year-old dog up for adventures twice a week and he has been loving it. Our dog was very hesitant about leaving the house and getting into someone else's car. After a few adventures, though, he fell in love with his handler and truly looks forward to his outings with her. He knows the days he's going to be picked up and listens very carefully to the sound of the gate opening. He rushes to the door where his trainer picks him up, and doesn't greet any other human like he greets her. Our older dog is now going out with them as well. I highly recommend their great services and the love they put into each dog within their care.

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!

Thank you, Kerry, and thank YOU Jac for most recently staying overnight with our pups - They clearly loved the time with you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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.

It's nice knowing their Dog Adventures NW team hires reliable and dog-loving/trained people. We love Autumn! ❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our 1-year-old Coton de Tulear has been enjoying his adventures and private training sessions with Dog Adventures Northwest for several months and we're so grateful that we stumbled upon them. The trainers send updates and photos of your dog's adventures, so you don't feel like you've missed out on the day. The private training follow up notes are always clear and helpful. Absolutely love all the wonderful people that we've had a chance to work with!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is the absolute BEST thing we have done for our dog, Archer. We both work full time and having Jess take him out on adventures one to twice per week has been a lifesaver. She even comes to our house to pick him up! Plus, she has worked with us on his training so when she has him she can reinforce all those behaviors in a positive way. It's a win-win. Archer is always well cared for and we appreciate the communication. We never worry about a thing! If you are looking for a great group to help with your dog training and exercise needs, call Kerry and her team.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We have a 7-month-old Golden Retriever with A LOT of energy. The Adventures through Dog Adventures Northwest have been wonderful for him. He gets to run off-leash with other dogs under the watchful eye of a kind and knowledgeable trainer. Cyrus (our wonderful trainer) is helping our dog learn good recall skills and allows Enzo to burn off lots of energy. The pickup and drop off service make this so easy for us! Cyrus always has him cleaned up enough to come in the house without muddy paws. How does he do that? I also really like their scheduling app and weekly communication regarding our dog's adventure. I love this company!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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'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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures was the answer we didn’t know existed! As first-time dog moms to a high-energy Vizsla pup who developed some dog-dog reactivity, we struggled to get Obi off-leash exercise in a safe way, especially since he tends to range and his recall was pretty spotty. We had tried other non-trainer-led solutions with too many dogs and not enough management and it created more issues than it solved. We were excited about the prospect of adventures being guided and managed by positive trainers with a small number of dogs. Cyrus has been taking Obi on off-leash adventures for the past 6 months and it’s been amazing. Cyrus gives thorough reports on how the day went, works with us to resolve any issues, is super communicative and flexible, and works really hard to make sure all the dogs have a great time. Obi’s recall has improved significantly and he’s just a happier boy. He gets so excited on adventure days and the many photos and videos we get from Cyrus show how much fun he’s having. Do your pup a favor and sign up for an adventure!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am beyond grateful to our past trainers for recommending Dog Adventures Northwest to us. At first, my husband and I were very hesitant to let our fur baby out of sight and off leash. The trainers were so sweet, caring, and reassuring. They literally taught our sweet pup to stay off leash near a trainer at all times. Our pup struggled with positive interactions with other dogs. Now she LOVES to play with other dogs, can be off leash, and knows how to check in with us and/or her trainers. Her favorite day is MONDAY, adventure day! We can't even contain her long enough to get her leash on when she sees trainer John. This place is the best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Several months ago, we signed our 1-year-old dog up for adventures twice a week and he has been loving it. Our dog was very hesitant about leaving the house and getting into someone else's car. After a few adventures, though, he fell in love with his handler and truly looks forward to his outings with her. He knows the days he's going to be picked up and listens very carefully to the sound of the gate opening. He rushes to the door where his trainer picks him up, and doesn't greet any other human like he greets her. Our older dog is now going out with them as well. I highly recommend their great services and the love they put into each dog within their care.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our dog has been going on adventures with John at Dog Adventures Northwest for five years and it's the highlight of her whole week. It has been such a positive experience for her to socialize, gain confidence, and have a wild time. I recommend them to everyone we know.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I are SO happy we found Dog Adventures Northwest. Kerry is very easy to work with and reliable. She responds to our scheduling questions promptly and we love working with her. Now onto our dog... it's hard when your dog loves her trainer sooo much more than you, but we quickly get over it when we have a tired and happy pup return home. Our dog looks for Peter out the window every morning, waiting for his car to pull up because she is so excited to go on an adventure with him. Her recall has drastically improved, and we are so thankful for the training work Peter does while on the adventure. It's been worth every penny.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is the best of the best! If you want a happy dog, this is THE PLACE and THE EXPERTS. The trainers are outstanding and the adventures will put a big smile on your dog's face. I can't say enough about them, they helped me through a very difficult doggie transition. Tender lovin' hearts all around. I get photos and a report every day about my Mimi. It's a joy to know she is in their most competent hands while we are gone. Thank you everyone at Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!"

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is amazing and we were so lucky to have been referred to them during our time in Portland! Trainers Cyrus and Ellaree have been taking our 1-year-old Pittie mix out for adventures three times a week and it's been a wonderful experience for all of us. They always take plenty of great photos and video of our pup romping around at the beach or in the woods. They've been working on her recall, obedience training, settling down around other dogs, and a host of other skills with her. Her excitement when they come to pick her up is **off the charts** and she comes home tuckered out and ready to nap for the rest of the day. We've also gotten some great training pointers/refreshers ourselves. Thank you DANW!! Can't recommend them highly enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think it's quite possible that Stella just had her best day EVER as a puppy, guided by trainer Kerry Ryan! I'm so thrilled to hear about her learning to swim and of ALL of the great training, particularly her off-leash recall. And of course, socializing her with the kids. I can't tell you what it means to us knowing she's having a wonderful time and in such good hands while we're working. She totally loves Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's so nice to have this service for my dog to go on adventures midweek! Both Amanda and Pierre, the trainers who take her out, are wonderful. They know how to read dog body language, and understand what their comfort level is. It's also nice to know that they put pups with similar play styles together. My favorite part is reading about Koya's adventure and seeing all of the photos of my pup romping around in nature!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🙌

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My 7.5 month old Corgi pup, Derby, absolutely loves his weekly outings with U.b. and Dog Adventures Northwest. The trainers are amazing and provide wonderful experiences that are supporting his ongoing socialization and training. I’ve also seen drastic improvements with his recall and obedience when we go out on our walks. Amazing service for both me and my pup!
