DayCamp is Partners Dogs' structured daycare for dogs who aren't yet a fit for open off-leash play. Standard daycare assumes your dog wants to be turned loose with a room full of strangers. DayCamp assumes your dog needs structure first, and builds the day around that.
Reactive, fearful, newly adopted, or over-aroused dogs spend the day working our grade-level curriculum, the same one we follow in Group Classes and DaySchool. Mornings center on group training around the day's focus behaviors. Afternoons shift to supervised social time, with coaching built right into the interaction. Your dog gets several sessions across different settings, building the social ease, obedience, and manners that make a dog easy to live with. Even between sessions, the calm, structured room keeps the progress going.
Every dog works toward a clear target with tracked milestones, aiming to earn a spot in DaySchool's open play once the behavior is solid. A PD360 assessment tells us whether it's the right fit, and regular reviews keep us honest about the pace.
Trainer-led from drop-off to pickup, not a free-for-all play room. Every day runs on our grade-level curriculum, the same skills we teach in Group Classes and DaySchool, with a PD360 assessment to set the right starting point.

MORE THAN DAYCARE
Most daycare hands your dog to a room full of strangers and hopes the day goes fine. DayCamp is built the other way around. From drop-off to pickup, a trainer is shaping the exact behaviors that make your dog easier to live with.
Your dog moves through several short, focused sessions a day on our grade-level curriculum, the same skills we teach in Group Classes and DaySchool. Settle when the doorbell rings. Walk past another dog without coming undone. Hold calm in a busy room. Then supervised social time puts those wins to work around real distractions.
You drop off a dog who runs the house. You pick up one who is learning to live in it.
GOOD FIT IF YOUR DOG…
THE PART YOU FEEL AT HOME
The hours your dog spends at DayCamp do not disappear into a play room. Every session is trainer-led, so impulse control, settling, and polite manners get real reps all day, around the exact distractions that set your dog off at home.
By pickup your dog has worked their brain and their body and practiced the right behaviors in a calm, structured place. Most owners feel it the same evening: a dog who is satisfied, settled, and easier to live with, instead of wound up and looking for trouble.
WHAT A DAY LOOKS LIKE
Mornings. Small-group training on the day's focus behaviors: obedience, manners, and impulse control.
Afternoons. Supervised social time, with training woven in so skills hold around other dogs and people.
One curriculum. Every day moves your dog through our grade-level curriculum, the same one Group Classes and DaySchool follow, so you never start over.
Multiple environments. Different settings through the day so skills hold up in the real world.
Passive immersion. Between sessions, steady low-pressure exposure and calm dogs nearby keep teaching.
WHERE THE DAY HAPPENS
The training floorSmall groups work the day's focus skills on our indoor arena, where the footing is solid and the distractions stay controlled.
Supervised social timeOnce the skills are in, your dog practices them around other dogs in trainer-run play, the part that turns drills into real-world manners.
Room to decompressBetween rounds, the open enrichment yard lets your dog reset, so they come back fresh instead of frazzled.WHAT'S NEXT

Regular daycare assumes your dog wants to play; DayCamp assumes your dog needs structure first. Every minute is purposeful behavior work or controlled skill-building, not an unsupervised free-for-all.
That's the goal, and we track progression milestones to get there. We're honest about your dog's pace at every 30-day review.
Usually not as a starting point. Severe cases typically need Aggression Rehabilitation or Transform Camp first. Once a dog has stabilized, DayCamp becomes an excellent place to hold those gains.
A single day is $115 at the drop-in rate. Monthly memberships lower the per-day cost: Plus ($199/mo) includes 2 DayCamp days, Premium ($399/mo) includes 4, and Platinum ($599/mo) includes 6. A PD360 assessment ($199) comes first so we can set the right starting point, and it is applied as store credit when you enroll in your recommended camp or a membership, never toward à la carte bookings or general reservations.
Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 2pm, closed Sunday, at both the Scottsdale and Cave Creek campuses. There are no set drop-off or pickup times, so the day fits your schedule.
Yes. Adult dogs that missed early socialization do not need to be thrown into a play room. They need controlled exposure at a pace they can handle. DayCamp starts there and builds toward supervised social time, with a PD360 assessment setting the starting point.
Every dog needs to be current on Bordetella, Rabies, and Distemper/Parvo (DHPP), with each shot given at least a week before their first day so immunity has time to build. Puppies must be at least 20 weeks old. You can upload records to your Parent Portal, email them, or let us verify with your vet, and dogs must be symptom-free before attending.
