Cyrus has owned, groomed, and showed Portuguese Water Dogs since 2006. They are very demanding and energetic, and he has learned that enrichment (like mental stimulation) is at least as important as physical exercise, for the happiness and well being of dogs. His off-leash adventures provide both. Cyrus understands that every dog has its own unique personality and needs, so he pays close attention to their history and their body language, and he tailors his handling, communication, and play style to suit each dog. Cyrus is dedicated to force-free, fear-free, positive training techniques. He is also happy to care for your cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, and any other sort of critter that shares your home. Your pets can expect an exciting day of fun and stimulating activity; and you can expect clear, prompt communication, and deeply attentive care for your animal family.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The whole family loves Cyrus and Peter! Maple anticipates Cyrus’s arrival to take her on an adventure each week. She comes back happy and exercised and enriched, and Cyrus provides the best updates with photos and fun details of their adventure. Cyrus was amazingly patient getting to know our stranger-shy adolescent pup, and it totally paid off! Maple also loves when we go out of town because she gets to stay at “Camp Peter!" She gets to play with her doggy friends and go on adventures every day, and she absolutely loves Peter and his wife, Kim. We feel good because we know Maple is in good hands with a positive reinforcement trainer and having a great time while we’re away!

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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)!
