Team

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These guys rule! We have been using them since we moved to Portland a couple months ago. Jamie has been hiking our buddy Dingo once a week and he always comes back worn out and happy. She sends us lots of photos of him having fun on the trail with other dogs and provides a report for how he did. Is it grade inflation when he always gets A's? Nah, I think he is just that good. They do overnight dog sitting as well, and Jamie has taken Dingo when we are both out of town. We trust her completely with him!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our little Havanese loves when it's adventure day with Dog Adventures Northwest. She can hardly contain herself when it's time for her to go with the trainer. Some days she comes home a little muddy, some days a little wet, but she is always delivered back to us happy and exhausted. Besides that, we even get a report and photos. It's like sending our fur baby to day camp, and she (and we) couldn't love the experience any more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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 travel a lot with work and I wanted my puppy to be in safe hands as he is very young. I've been booking the Board and Learn service for the last 6 months and now I have transitioned over to Boarding! The services are impeccable! Kerry and her team at Dog Adventures Northwest are fantastic. I have been nothing but impressed by how much they have gone out their way to accommodate my puppy, Milo. Do not hesitate to book any of the services available. I couldn't recommend the team enough! There is consistent communication, putting your mind at ease while you're away traveling!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Kerry and her team! My pup, PJ, is so happy whenever she is in her care or the care of one of Kerry’s team members. Everyone on Kerry’s team has been very professional with their communication and shows our pup so much love. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such good hands. They are the absolute best!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ These guys rule! We have been using them since we moved to Portland a couple months ago. Jamie has been hiking our buddy Dingo once a week and he always comes back worn out and happy. She sends us lots of photos of him having fun on the trail with other dogs and provides a report for how he did. Is it grade inflation when he always gets A's? Nah, I think he is just that good. They do overnight dog sitting as well, and Jamie has taken Dingo when we are both out of town. We trust her completely with him!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 a 4-month-old puppy that was terrified of people and many social situations so I hired Dog Adventures Northwest and they matched us with trainer Rosie. Since then, my dog has made a 180 degree turn - she's now a well adjusted puppy through private lessons and specialized socialization training. I am so glad I reached out to this company, and we will continue to use their services. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dog Adventures Northwest is a fantastic company and I cannot recommend them strongly enough. Cassie is an incredible trainer and dog whisperer, and helped enormously in raising and training my yellow lab puppy. Jess is also stellar and extremely caring and dedicated. They are also fantastic people who care deeply about training and caring for dogs and are incredible resources. This is not your run-of-the-mill dog sitting and training outfit. These are top-notch trainers with years of experience who provide highly customized services and really get to know your dog's personality and work with you on specific training/care regimen. Kerry has always been there when we needed care and support for our pup. I am so glad I found such a great company!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have had nothing but great experiences in working with Dog Adventures Northwest. They have absolutely gone above and beyond what I thought any training company would. They are very knowledgeable and do great work with intact dogs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am one of THOSE dog owners... The kind that treat their dogs like their children and best friends and are totally surprised when they meet someone who doesn't want to get down on their knees and pet them. Millie comes with me everywhere I go (including to work), so those times when I can't be with my girl, I am so grateful for Dog Adventures Northwest. Millie's handler, John, is AMAZING and treats her just as well as I do. I actually knew John before I knew about Dog Adventures Northwest - we were both regulars who walked our dogs on the Columbia River and our repeated interactions painted a clear story about his level of care and attentiveness. Even if there are no other cars there, all the dogs have to follow the leash routine of getting in and out of his Wind Star. He always has his pouch of treats and consistently rewarded the pups during the walk rather than just at the beginning or end. What sealed the deal for me? I never saw him on his phone. He wasn't texting and chatting or surfing the web. He was paying attention to his client's dogs. In fact, on Millie's first day with John he texted me some pics and my first reaction was shock because I had never seen him use it! If you are questioning working with them, don't. Go for it. Trust is priceless and Kerry runs a great business! Their portal to set up appointments and payments is super easy to use. If I could give 10 stars I would 🙂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our pandemic puppy has benefitted so much from her outdoor adventures with Dog Adventures Northwest. As a puppy, Cooper would tend to get over-excited and clobber her buddies (canine and human). While she has always been "friendly," we worried that she wasn't able to read social cues from other dogs and exhibit enough inhibition to keep her from being a pest. Having weekly practice with dogs while under knowledgeable supervision has been fabulous for us. The trainers at DANW are able to step in and guide Coop so that play stays fun for everyone and she is increasingly able to self-regulate and play (or just co-exist happily) with a variety of dogs. It's so nice to know that our pup is getting the practice and training she needs in an environment that isn't full of too many dogs and extra noises that might make it harder for her to calm herself, as might be the case in a crowded daycare. Her outings are without a doubt the highlight of her week. I'm sure she enjoys her hikes with us but her joyful helicopter tail when she sees Simone or Verena pull up in front of the house is truly next level.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cyrus at Dog Adventures NW has been taking my dog Seamus on adventures for several months now. Cyrus loves dogs, and is an extremely caring and thoughtful professional. My dog comes home thoroughly exhausted after every session, and we always get great photos of what he was up to on is adventure. It's not a cheap service, but as they say you get what you pay for. As we've returned to the office this is a great investment in our dog that I would recommend to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 NW has been fantastic. Our dog goes bonkers whenever Cyrus shows up. Cyrus is always responsive and it's obvious that he cares about our dog. He treats him as well as his own. Very professional and caring operation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 dogs and I LOVE Dog Adventures Northwest! I have two energetic Labradors, and adventures are SO important for keeping them exercised and well behaved. It's convenient to have access to a knowledgeable trainer who knows your dog well when you need advice about any behavior issues that pop up. Their adventure services are great. I can travel without worrying that they're cooped up somewhere, feeling sad. On the adventures they have tons of fun, and get lots of love and cuddles. We've worked the most with Jess Lara and Simone Riley, and both are fantastic.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My dogs and I LOVE Dog Adventures Northwest! I have two energetic Labradors, and adventures are SO important for keeping them exercised and well behaved.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My pup loves his adventures! He always comes back tired and happy! He has improved in his play/socialization with both pups and people. I highly recommend Dog Adventures Northwest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am one of THOSE dog owners... The kind that treat their dogs like their children and best friends and are totally surprised when they meet someone who doesn't want to get down on their knees and pet them. Millie comes with me everywhere I go (including to work), so those times when I can't be with my girl, I am so grateful for Dog Adventures Northwest. Millie's handler, John, is AMAZING and treats her just as well as I do. I actually knew John before I knew about Dog Adventures Northwest - we were both regulars who walked our dogs on the Columbia River and our repeated interactions painted a clear story about his level of care and attentiveness. Even if there are no other cars there, all the dogs have to follow the leash routine of getting in and out of his Wind Star. He always has his pouch of treats and consistently rewarded the pups during the walk rather than just at the beginning or end. What sealed the deal for me? I never saw him on his phone. He wasn't texting and chatting or surfing the web. He was paying attention to his client's dogs. In fact, on Millie's first day with John he texted me some pics and my first reaction was shock because I had never seen him use it! If you are questioning working with them, don't. Go for it. Trust is priceless and Kerry runs a great business! Their portal to set up appointments and payments is super easy to use. If I could give 10 stars I would 🙂

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cyrus at Dog Adventures NW has been taking my dog Seamus on adventures for several months now. Cyrus loves dogs, and is an extremely caring and thoughtful professional. My dog comes home thoroughly exhausted after every session, and we always get great photos of what he was up to on is adventure. It's not a cheap service, but as they say you get what you pay for. As we've returned to the office this is a great investment in our dog that I would recommend 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.
