Team

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love Dog Adventures Northwest! We worked with Verena for Board and Learn for our 18-month-old Goldendoodle. Our pup got great socialization by living in Verena's home with her cats and dogs, in addition to daily formal positive reinforcement training sessions and amazing adventures (swimming at the beach, hikes, parks, and more). It really helped our dog build up her confidence and become more comfortable in new environments. Her recall is fantastic now too. The Board and Learn helped establish a solid foundation, and Verena gave us the tools we need to manage and build on it moving forward. Both Verena and the owner, Kerry, were extremely responsive and flexible. They are true dog lovers who are passionate about humane care and training. Your dog will have a blast! Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We found Jess through Dog Adventures NW and booked a board and train with her while we went away for my 50th birthday. It was everything we could have asked her and more. Jess is a super nerd when it comes to dog training and is highly skilled at managing and training all types of dogs. We felt completely comfortable that Obi would not be put into situations that were overly stressful. Jess truly treats every dog in her care like her own. Each day we were away, we got multiple photos and videos of Obi’s adventures and training via a shared Google Drive so we knew exactly what he was up to. If there was any doubt that he had the time of his life, when we came to pick him up, he was happy to see us, but when playtime was over, he headed to the back door of Jess’s house, ready for dinner! Obi can’t wait to go see Jess again and you can feel comfortable that your fur baby is in excellent hands with her.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My very anxious and reactive dog learned such great skills and more importantly, I now have the tools to help him after our 8-week package. Verena was great with my dog. I learned a lot from her, and it was a great experience in general. I notice a big difference in my dog's behavior when I use the tools Verena has given me!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great private training experience with Taylor. I have an Afghan hound which isn't the easiest breed to train, but Taylor was great at reading her body language and making suggestions for things to work on and different dog sports to try. I purchased a lesson package and it was definitely worth it to give us some skills, build confidence, and work to reduce reactivity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Dog Adventures Northwest... Verena showed Harper the patience and perseverance she needed to blossom right before her eyes. Verena worked hard to earn Harper's trust and they became fast friends. Can't speak highly enough about Verena's capacity to work with Harper, who is reluctant to get close to someone unless she is sure they are trustworthy. Verena nailed it. For your holiday or any-day get-a-way call Dog Adventures Northwest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My family has used Dog Adventures for several years and continue to be pleased with the service we receive. Not just in the pet care, but in the tending of business matters as well. Thanks so much.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kerry Ryan has been a true asset to our family. From the time we first contacted her for assistance when we brought Midnight home, she has been nothing but professional. Her training abilities and calming nature are second-to-none. Her tips work wonders and she reassures us every step of the way, never too busy to answer any questions we have. She's the best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't say enough positive things about Kerry Ryan's skills as a dog trainer. We worked with her very intensely over several months for my Frenchie and me to become a pet partner team for the Delta Society. Kerry worked with Rory Lee nearly every day and I joined in as often as I could. She was knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate. She really helped me understand Rory Lee and our bond strengthened considerably because of the work we were doing with Kerry. Kerry has done lots of activities with Rory Lee, including introducing her the idea of swimming in the river. I would recommend Kerry's training and dog activities highly. You and your dog will be very satisfied.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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)!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is awesome! I didn't think my dog would be going anywhere off-leash for a very, very long time, but Cyrus was great and found the perfect pack combination for him to be able to run free and get plenty of exercise. Now I have a happy, tired puppy and no worries when he's in the care of Dog Adventures Northwest. So glad we've found them. I would recommend them 100%!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 love working with Peter! It gives me peace of mind knowing he can provide my dog with positive enrichment and exercise on a regular schedule when I am not able to do so myself. I trust Peter to do pick up and drop off when I'm not home and I know my dog looks forward to her adventures with him every week.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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'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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to recommend Hannah because she was so patient and loving with my stubborn little dog. Hannah overcame Harriet's shyness and was so sweet with her. Hannah showed me a few things to practice with Harriet and they really worked. It was a starting point for me as I didn't know any of these things. Hannah made it a point to check in and see how Harriet was coming along as well. Hannah knows her stuff.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a great private training experience with Taylor. I have an Afghan hound which isn't the easiest breed to train, but Taylor was great at reading her body language and making suggestions for things to work on and different dog sports to try. I purchased a lesson package and it was definitely worth it to give us some skills, build confidence, and work to reduce reactivity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is an absolutely wonderful service run by caring, professional people. I have a young, active, small 13-lbs dog who needs a lot of cardio. As an alternative to doggy day care, my dog trainer recommended Dog Adventures Northwest's adventures as a means to tire her out in a consistently positive environment. She was absolutely right - the adventure days are the best! My pup gets out for much needed socialization and play time while gaining confidence in new environments and practicing safe off-leash behavior. I get an amazing e-mail narrative at the end of the session with fantastic (and hilarious) pictures. My dog races out the door with Jamie without ever looking back. I appreciate how hard Dog Adventures Northwest works to pair up dogs that will do well together. They bring her home exhausted, happy, and reasonably clean... what more could I ask for? I would highly recommend this service to anyone with a dog who loves the outdoors.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My dog Hugo loves Jackson and his pack! He comes home happy and tired each time (which is key since he's a Border Collie with boundless energy). Jackson is really great. He's so good with my dog and working on his recall and positive reinforcement. I know my pup is getting lots of exercise, adventure time, and love when he's with Jackson.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot speak highly enough about Dog Adventures Northwest! We have an active breed requiring a lot of exercise both physically and mentally and were searching for a service that catered to our needs. Kerry, the owner, who is absolutely lovely, listened to our needs and has paired us with knowledgeable trainers who know their stuff when it comes to managing both individual and small groups of dogs. We hit the jackpot! Our dog always returns home from her adventure day happy and tired (yay!) which never fails to bring a smile to our faces. The pick up and drop off service cannot be beat! These are folks who love what they do and it shows. We all look forward to adventure days and are grateful to Kerry for creating something so wonderful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Texas loves Dog Adventures Northwest! When Tex sees his trainer, he gets very excited because he knows he is in for a fun adventure-filled day! This is our first Lab who has been shy, and they have done wonders for his socialization. Tex used to be scared of water, but now he plays in it, thanks to his trainer consistently taking him to rivers and lakes to help him over his fear. Dog Adventures Northwest has taken Tex on full-day dog adventures and even had him for a weekend when we were out of town. Not only have they done wonders with Tex's socialization, but his training has improved greatly as well. Every trainer at Dog Adventures Northwest truly loves the animals they work with. We know when Tex is with them he is in wonderful hands, and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have had Dog Adventures Northwest working with my dogs for about four months now. Our trainer has a gentle manner and my girls respond positively. Mandy sounds like a squealing teenager when she drives up. Both the girls have bolted out the door and run away in the past -- now they run and jump into her car. I love having the girls go with Dog Adventures Northwest. They are tired and happy when they come home and have stopped acting bored and restless.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't say enough good things about Dog Adventures Northwest.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We LOVE Dog Adventures Northwest and all of the services they provide! We, like most folks, have busy, full lives so we knew when we got our Goldendoodle as a puppy we'd need some support to make sure she was safe and had a great time, even while we are traveling or had long days at work. When she was a puppy with skills to learn, she did Board and Learn while we went on vacation, and learned how to better walk on a leash (she was a big puller!) Our trainer not only greatly reduced the pulling, but also suggested the PERFECT harness and helpful training tools we could continue to implement at home. Now that she's older, she goes on one scheduled adventure a week with Cyrus and gets to romp and play with a small group (1-3) of other dogs. I love that Dog Adventures Northwest is careful to pair dogs with complimentary personalities and play styles! Safety is an obvious priority for them. She always comes home SO happy and tired. When her adventure leader comes to pick her up, you can tell it's her best friend in the whole world! Thinking about it actually makes me tear up - she just loves him and their adventures so much. We also use the house/pet sitting service when we travel; it's wonderful and SO convenient! The people at DANW that we've interacted with are all 100% trustworthy, professional and dog-loving folks. We honestly couldn't ask for more and couldn't have our beloved fur baby without them!

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 trainer Simone is the best. Our Golden Retriever Sherlock can’t wait to get in her car every time! He comes back totally worked out, and—with the amount of activities they do (hike, play, swim, bushwhacking)—I’m surprised by how clean Sherlock is when he comes home. So happy to have Dog Adventures Northwest and Simone help keep our puppy happy! It’s definitely doggy heaven!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🙌
