The 21-Night Reactive Dog Board & Train That Gets to the Root Cause
You have tried everything for the barking, lunging, anxiety, or guarding, and you are exhausted. Behavior Camp is the 21-night reset that addresses why your dog reacts, not just how to suppress it.
My dog lunges and reacts, is that a training problem we can fix?
Behavior Camp is Partners Dogs' 21-night board-and-train for dogs with moderate behavior challenges, reactivity, anxiety, fear, resource guarding, and severe leash reactivity that go beyond basic manners. Rather than masking the behavior, our trainers build a plan around your dog's specific triggers and history, changing the underlying emotional response through structured daily work, modeling, and controlled exposure. Then we teach you to hold the change at home through private transition lessons and Pet Parenting classes. It is the level between Foundation Camp's obedience reset and the severe-aggression work of Transform Camp, and a PD360 assessment confirms it is the right fit before you enroll.
Family-owned since 1997. 70,000+ dogs trained. 4.8 stars across roughly 2,000 reviews. Two Arizona campuses, Scottsdale and Cave Creek.

WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE HAS FAILED
Reactive, Anxious, Destructive. We Have Not Run Out of Answers.
The lunging on leash, the barking at the window, the anxiety that empties the house of peace, you have tried everything and you are tired. Behavior Camp is the reset. Over three weeks your dog lives and works with our trainers, and you get back a dog that can settle, focus, and move through the world without setting the whole family on edge.
Every Behavior Camp Begins With PD360
Behavior Camp starts with a PD360 assessment so we understand exactly what is driving the behavior before training begins. It is $199, it is credited toward your enrollment, and it is required for Behavior Camp because a real plan beats a generic one every time.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Everything Behavior Camp Includes
- 21 nights of all-day immersive training. The added time over Foundation Camp is what behavior change requires. Your dog lives on campus and works structured sessions every day.
- A required PD360 assessment and custom plan. We scope the triggers, history, and temperament, then build the rehab plan around your dog.
- 3.5 hours of private family lessons. You learn to read your dog, manage triggers, and hold the calm at home.
- 16 DayCamp reinforcement days. Deeper, trainer-led follow-up so the new responses generalize to real life.
- 8 Pet Parenting group classes. Structured practice around other dogs and people.
- A video demo, a working demo, and a transition lesson. You see the change and learn to keep it.
- Free access to the online Pet Parent Guide. Your reference for everything we teach.

THE OUTCOME WE BUILD
Calm, Focused, and Able to Cope
The goal is not a robot. It is a dog that can be calm in the moments that used to unravel: the doorbell, the walk past another dog, the empty house. We get there with structure, fair accountability, and enough repetition that the new response becomes the default.

WHY PARTNERS
Behavior Work Run by Career Dog Trainers
28 years and 70,000+ dogs. Family-owned since 1997, with a combined century of experience. Behavior cases are our specialty, not an exception.
Balanced and individualized. We match the approach to the dog and the trigger. Fearful, reactive, and anxious dogs all get a plan built for them.
Honest about fit. The PD360 tells us, and you, whether Behavior Camp is the right call before you commit.
90% of the job is training you. Behavior change holds only when you can manage it at home, so coaching you is built into the program.
HOW IT WORKS
How Behavior Camp Works
Assessment and check-in. Your PD360 maps the triggers and history. At check-in we confirm vaccinations, complete your dog's profile, and lock in the plan and goals.
Training and demos. Your dog works daily structured sessions and practices calm between them. You come in for demos, including a working demo, so you see the new responses and start learning to handle them yourself.
Transition to you. Through your transition lesson and Pet Parenting classes, we hand you the tools to keep your dog regulated long after camp ends.
THE OUTCOME
What Changes After Behavior Camp
- A dog that can settle. The barking, lunging, and pacing give way to a dog that can hold calm when it matters.
- Triggers you can manage. You learn to see the moment coming and steer your dog through it.
- A home that breathes again. Less walking on eggshells, more normal life with the dog you love.

OUR COMMITMENT
Our Commitment to You and Your Dog
Health and safety first. Vaccinations verified for every dog, pet CPR trained staff, and strict daily cleaning protocols.
You stay in the loop. Demo sessions and progress updates so you always know where your dog is in the work.
Watched over around the clock. Low staff-to-dog ratios, overnight on-site staff in Scottsdale, and an owner living on the Cave Creek property.
We finish the job. Working demos, transition lessons, and follow-up school are built in so the change becomes yours to keep.
THE SMART MOVE
Members Pay Far Less
The best-value move: pair camp with a membership. Behavior Camp is $6,244. If you enroll in a Plus, Premium, or Platinum membership, two things happen:
- Your membership already covers the follow-up school (16 DayCamp Days, a $1,499 value), so you don't pay for it inside camp. That brings the camp down to $4,745.
- Your membership tier then takes an extra discount off that $4,745, 10% with Plus, 20% with Premium, or 30% with Platinum.
Net effect: Behavior Camp w/ Suites effectively comes out to about $4,270 with Plus, $3,796 with Premium, or $3,322 with Platinum, instead of $6,244, and you keep the ongoing membership benefits afterward. It's the most bang for your buck.
Is It Behavior Camp or Transform Camp?
If your dog's behavior includes aggression or bite history, Transform Camp is built for those harder cases. Not sure where you land? PD360 will tell you honestly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Foundation Camp and Behavior Camp?
Foundation Camp builds obedience and everyday manners; Behavior Camp goes deeper, addressing the root causes of reactivity, anxiety, fear, and resource guarding over a longer 21-night stay with a custom behavior plan.
My dog has bitten, is Behavior Camp the right level?
Behavior Camp is built for moderate cases without a bite history. If your dog has bitten, has multiple incidents, or shows child reactivity, Transform Camp or Aggression Rehabilitation is the better fit, your PD360 assessment will tell you honestly which level your dog needs.
Will the results last after my dog comes home?
Lasting change comes from training the owner. Behavior Camp includes 4.5 hours of private lessons and 8 Pet Parenting group classes so you can maintain the new responses, plus DaySchool and follow-up options to keep reinforcing them.
