Kerry is an outdoor enthusiast, dog play specialist, ethical small-business entrepreneur, and proud mama of an awesome little dog named JoJo. She is a Professional Member of both the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and the Family Dog Mediation Center, and has been voted the "Best Individual Trainer of the Northwest" by Spot Magazine for several years running. Kerry can geek out on dog behavior all day long, and regularly participates in continuing education opportunities in behavior and learning.
Kerry believes that many of the issues humans have with their pups can easily be alleviated through proper exercise and mental enrichment. To this end, Kerry started Dog Adventures Northwest to make it easier for people to meet the needs of their four-legged family members. Since its inception in the Summer of 2011, there have been many miles of happy trails and even more happy tails.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!
