Always a great experience. Staff are dedicated to the dogs and are extremely helpful.

First time boarding our two German Shepherds at Partners for a 7 day stay, and we couldn't be happier. Both dogs have medical conditions and take multiple medications, so finding a place that truly pays attention to detail was important. Megan and her team were fantastic, good communication, and thoughtful care. We'll definitely be using them again. Here's a picture of our two tired pups after coming home 🙂

CT Cathi T. Cave Creek Jul 2026 Google

I absolutely love this place, from the loving attention they get to the discipline they get when they behave badly! They pay close attention to our dog's special needs, and they come home exhausted. Every single employee seems to love the dogs, too 😁

LL Leslie L. Scottsdale Jul 2026 Google

Very nice welcome. My dog's name was on the welcome sign out front with other dogs names coming in today. Nicole was very personable and informative as to what the assessment would entail. Upon pick up I saw a video of my dog in playtime and what she would benefit in training. Felt confident to sign up for training camp.

LB Lauren B. Cave Creek Jun 2026 Google

Highly recommend their foundations board and train camp!! Not only did our puppy come back home with new obedience skills, but he has LOVED coming back for doggie daycare days (INCLUDED in the foundations package!). The team here is top of the line and so caring! It's such a great feeling knowing we invested in our pup and trusted experts to make him feel confident and cared for!

JK Judith K. Scottsdale Jun 2026 Google

Daisy loves going to daycare, rather than stay at home alone, when I'm gone all day. She gets to play with all the other pups & her favorite humans! She even gets some training during her stay.

LH Lindsey H. Cave Creek Jun 2026 Google

I recently brought my young dog in for snake avoidance training, I am not going to lie.. I was a little skeptical because we were in and out of there in a couple of minutes. Well tonight while out for our last potty break before bed we walked past a bush and heard a rattle…. My dog jumped back and ran the other way. Very pleased with the results and will definitely be back for a refresher course!

CK Chris K. Scottsdale Jun 2026 Google

Going to Partners Dog training was the best decision I’ve made since adopting my pup. She was night and day after her training camp and she loves to go to doggy daycare. The staff/trainers are very helpful and professional. You can tell they’ve been doing this for a while.

BM Barbara M. Scottsdale Jun 2026 Google

Great staff and attitude. The dogs love their day there.

CS Carol S. Scottsdale Jun 2026 Google

Hi German Shepherd, Strider has been going to Partners Dog Training since he was a puppy. I have been so happy with the training he has received there! Everyone there has been so wonderful and caring! I have learned so much in how to be a good dog parent! We have done the agility course, Private lessons, Boot Camp, group lessons, daycare, and boarding at this facility..I highly recommend Partners if you want your dog to sharpen his skills and be a great obedient companion!

MP Mj P. Scottsdale Jun 2026 Google

Partners daycare always treats my boxer well and she comes back better trained and ready for a nap! It is really helpful during the 100+ heat providing a safe and fun place for her. Thanks for putting her booties on for pick up too!

CP Courtney P. Scottsdale Jun 2026 Google

Partners is run like a finely tuned engine. The staff is knowledgeable, thorough, interested and supportive. Albeit on the spendy side, but worth every dollar invested. Their facility is impressive. The individual care of each dog is loving and caring, yet authoritative. Partners is an investment in not only your dog, but you too! I have two things I am a little disappointed with (and this has NOTHING to do with Partners training or the dog). Because Partners is pricey (like I said, an investment) I tthink a discount for a second family dog to go thru trsining camp should be offered. The other minor plaint is while Sundays are closed, allow pick-ups ONLY for boarders. And pick-ups only. You're forced to pay another night even if you're able to get b your furbaby. Otherwise... Bravo Partners! Shout out to the entire team- Kay, Lexi and Atina.

MJ Michelle J. Scottsdale May 2026 Google

Lexi has been so wonderful with our dogs training and the staff at Partners dog are so helpful and nice.

VS Vinny S. Scottsdale May 2026 Google

Friendly knowledgeable staff.

LB Lisa B. Cave Creek May 2026 Google

The training experience teaches you the handler how to communicate to your dog your needs from them and the trainers help you understand what your dog needs to learn. It’s amazing team work, never boring because they change things up and the experiences are priceless being around different dogs humans and environment is so helpful.

PH Pamela H. Scottsdale May 2026 Google

Love this place, but more importantly my doggie does! Thank you..

TM Toni M. Cave Creek May 2026 Google

Very pleased with how wonderful Rachel and all her assistants trained my rambunctious puppy, Jasper! Am also impressed with the follow up to instill all that he has learned.

Excellent, they took their time to ensure Hank was trained. Thank you.

CM Cupcakeface M. Cave Creek May 2026 Google

Lucy and Noah did so good at handling my Brian for his snake training. Lucy also had about 5 hours with Brian alone to go over his behavior. She explained everything. It really was a pleasant experience.

AG Amy G. Scottsdale May 2026 Google

Outstanding!!! Our pup was well taken care of, loved on and learned so much. The staff took care with her at every stage. They are kind, patient and persistent with our puppy and with explaining everything to us, as we’re learning new habits too. Appreciate the structured continual communication and ongoing engagement with training following “camp”. Extremely pleased with the experience!

MD Mary D. Cave Creek May 2026 Y Yelp

Rio has been going to Partners Day School for training and fun for over a year, and I now realize what an amazing experience it has been for her. She gets training while also enjoying playtime and socializing with the other dogs. It has helped her learn how to interact appropriately and build great social skills. She absolutely loves all the trainers there, and they have been so helpful whenever we have questions or concerns. I highly recommend them!

BT Bonnie T. Scottsdale Apr 2026 Google

This is a great place for your dog particularly in our hot weather. It is also great year round to allow pets to spend time with other dogs so they get used to being with them and learning a lot.

KB Kimberly B. Cave Creek Apr 2026 Y Yelp

Love Partners Dog Training and Trainers ! This was BuddyHolly's 3 refresher - we do it every year ! The dogs recognize the sound and smell of the snake !!

IE Ira E. Cave Creek Apr 2026 Y Yelp

The training, which I watched, went very well. It was done quickly and smoothly and the reaction by our dog when at the last stop was quite impressive when he heard the rattle. He got out of there FAST!

YG Yilia G. Cave Creek Apr 2026 Google

My boy Ajax has been coming to the doggy day school at Partners for over a year now and he loves it here so much! All trainers are so amazing and knowledgeable. He’s learned so much from here!

WF Wendy F. Scottsdale Apr 2026 Y Yelp

we arrived a little early for our appointment time but they were able to go ahead and run our 11 mi old Aussie through the course. it doesn't take long for the dogs to steer clear of the rattlesnakes . The handlers were all super nice and informative and explained the process as we walked the course with them. Very well done.

LG Lorrie G. Cave Creek Apr 2026 Y Yelp

It went amazing. Very caring staff. They had three different rattlesnakes in three locations. My dog did great! Passed first time with flying colors. He had absolutely nothing to do with the snakes. Highly highly recommend this business.

PQ Phyllis Q. Scottsdale Apr 2026 Y Yelp

I cannot recommend partners daycare and training enough. They have been for me because I have too big and sometimes unruly dogs. They're very patient with both dogs and which is important. I would recommend anyone looking to give their puppy their mature dog, even a senior dog, a safe place a fun place to spend the day partners! Plus, if you ever need to board your dog for any reason partners!

EC Elisabeth C. Cave Creek Apr 2026 Y Yelp

Staff, timing cost respect for the dog and the snake. it was wonderful! I would direct anyone to use them. The post report was very helpful too!

Our beloved dog is always well cared for at Partners

EV Ernie V. Scottsdale Apr 2026 Google

Nicole at Partners Dog Training in Scottsdale is absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly understands how to work with both dogs and their owners. From the very first session, it was clear how much she cares about helping dogs succeed and building better relationships between pets and their families. Nicole explained everything in a clear and practical way, and the training techniques were effective and easy to follow at home. We saw noticeable improvements in our dog’s behavior very quickly. She tailors the training to each dog’s personality and makes the whole experience positive and encouraging. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate trainer in the Scottsdale area, I highly recommend Nicole at Partners Dog Training. She’s amazing to work with and truly goes above and beyond! Chase has been great as well as the entire staff

Knowing my furry child is being cared for with love and respect makes my day so much easier. My thanks to the wonderful people at Partners.

RT Richard T. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Y Yelp

Nice people. Our 4th time for a refresher. Dog was so nervous this time and the process is so fast I was not sure the puppy even noticed the caged snakes. Wish I had a better feeling regarding her avoidance of snakes.

BA Barry A. Scottsdale Mar 2026 Google

Our Bouvier (Willie)loves everything about Partners. He looks forward to the daycare, parents class, and even boarding. He loves this facility as much as the staff loves him. I can't say enough good things about this place.

MT Michael T. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Google

Boots was very happy when we picked him up. We would send Boots to Partners again. We loved the notes and pictures every night.

HM Heather M. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Google

I have a short nose breed dog. A frenchie, they kept her in the shade so she didn't overheat while we waited. B4 we started everything was explained. They have three areas of training. They told me because she's a short nose dog, they would use a much lower jolt. My dog did so well. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is worried their dog might try to attack one or with a high prey drive like my little one. It was $109 and I went in March, 2026.

DM Daniel M. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Google

We are taking our dogs there for daycamp training. They need to be able to be around other dogs and people in public places. Noa is great! She has spent extra time explaining how they are progressing.

L Lori Scottsdale Mar 2026 Google

Friendly and always answer questions thoroughly

GM Greg M. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Google

I have been taking my German Shepherd Ruger there for a year and a half now the staff is very knowledgeable and excellent with my dog the services they provide our excellent I do obedience training and agility classes. They are one of the best Dog Training facilities in Phoenix.

MD Mary D. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Y Yelp

We absolutely love Partners! It has been such a wonderful learning experience for Rio. She goes two days a week to what we call her "school," and the training and time spent interacting with other dogs has helped her socially adjust and develop great manners. Rio also takes agility classes there, which has been an amazing way for us to work together and build our bond--and it's so much fun! The staff at Partners are always friendly, knowledgeable, and truly care about the dogs. We highly recommend Partners to anyone looking for excellent training and a supportive environment for their dog.

MJ Mary J. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Google

We took our dog Bella for a 360 assessment and discuss the programs available to address her behavior issues with resource guarding. Lucy was the trainer that worked with Bella and she was very knowledgeable and explained different options to help. We are going back next week for a follow up assessment before we decide how to proceed. Overall, our first impression was very positive.

TO Terrie O. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Y Yelp

Partners has the best process for Snake avoidance training. We receive a report after training so we know how well our dogs did and if they need future training.

BM Brandi M. Cave Creek Mar 2026 Google

Excellent service.

LA Letty A. Scottsdale Mar 2026 Google

Partners is such a wonderful place for my dog. All the Personnel are very welcoming and are so good to my Finn. He is always so excited when I park as if he knows exactly where he is. He always is excited to be there which is a good sign.

I absolutely love Partners Dog School. They always provide the best for my boy Maverick! Their online portal is easy to use and the staff is so friendly and informative! I highly recommend if you’re looking for training, boarding or daycare for your pup! I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

NP Nichola P. Scottsdale Feb 2026 Google

Love this company the people here are amazing and have done wonders for my dog who was originally sound sensitive and shy

AP April P. Scottsdale Feb 2026 Google

We found out about them at a doggie festival and won a few days of boarding that came with an assessment by spinning their prize wheel. I was impressed with how thorough they were, and my dog seemed very comfortable with the trainer. As a bonus, he got to enjoy some playtime with friends as they observed his behavior. We haven’t used the boarding itself yet as we haven’t had a vacation planned yet but they generously offer 12 months to use it, so looking forward to that during the summer.

BK Betsy K. Scottsdale Feb 2026 Google

All the trainers have been superb and my bully girl loves them all. We both have learned so much! She looks forward to her visits every time she goes. Thank you all for your devotion to dogs and their development Betsy

GS Gregg S. Scottsdale Feb 2026 Google

Took my puppy in for an assessment required to enter group training. Emma spent a lot of time with us discussing my puppy’s needs and behaviors. My puppy really enjoyed her time there and I left feeling confident in the school’s trainers and programs. I signed her up for a class the next day.

CM Cynthia M. Scottsdale Feb 2026 Google

I love the staff they really take care of all the animals! I’ve been taking my dog here for a few years and I have not one complaint. Price is comparable to other places.

Brought my dog, Ryder, in to Partners today for an evaluation. Nicole definitely knows dogs!! She was able to tell me exactly what is going on and why. I’ll be following up with training. Thank you so much.

JL Jennifer L. Cave Creek Jan 2026 Google

Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable trainers. My dog Archie has some behavioral issues which the trainers here are working with him. I saw a small improvement after one day being in the dog day camp. We will go back for more sessions.

MM Molly M. Cave Creek Jan 2026 Google

The trainers at Partners were extremely helpful and kind. My dog is deaf and we had been struggling to not only reach his full potential with training but also find trainers who were knowledgeable and experienced working with deaf dogs. He went to the 3-week foundation camp and now has the best manners! He is also training with the e-collar so we have a consistent form of communication with him - which was only made possible by the trainers at Partners. Specifically, our trainer was Lucy and she is amazing!!! However all of the trainers support the training and all did an amazing job! We also are participating in group classes which help us to reinforce all of his hard work with the guidance of trainers.

LC Lydia C. Scottsdale Jan 2026 Google

Met for a puppy analysis. It was very informative. We are going to utilize the doggy day care for our training needs.

AC Alicia C. Scottsdale Jan 2026 Google

We took our puppy for foundation, camp board and train program for two weeks. The whole staff was great from choosing the program to the actual training. McKenzie was an amazing trainer and took a lot of time with us to make sure we felt comfortable on the day we brought him back home. I cannot recommend them enough!

LR Laura R. Scottsdale Jan 2026 Google

I used to be against board and train, but after meeting with Kayla my attitude totally changed and she made me feel confident about my decision and sent me daily upates/photos. She even called me a couple days after I got home to check in on us. Maverick(my dog) and me are still works in progress but I feel very hopeful that I will do as good as my dog has so far.

MB Michelle B. Scottsdale Jan 2026 Google

Partners Dog Training truly changed our lives. I brought my 130-lb Great Dane to their 3-week Behavior Camp at a point where my home felt completely chaotic and I had reached my limit. He was disobedient, pulled me on walks, growled at new people and in new places like the vet, and bullied my other male rescue dog. I knew I needed help—and Partners delivered beyond anything I expected. Today, my Great Dane obeys commands, no longer reacts to my other male dog, and I can walk him calmly and confidently. Just as important, I’m learning how to be a better dog mom. I am so incredibly grateful for this program and everything it has given us. Lexi is absolutely an amazing trainer and truly radiates excellence. She built a strong bond with my Great Dane and took exceptional care of him during behavior camp. I trust her completely with my dog—she’s like a second mom to him. Huge shout-out to Chase as well for helping train my boy. The care, skill, and dedication from the trainers really show. Our home is now calm instead of chaotic, and I’m excited to see things continue to improve as we move into follow-up training sessions. Everyone at Partners is awesome—always friendly, welcoming, and professional. Atina was there for me from the very first phone call and has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. The process can feel overwhelming at first, and she made sure I felt supported and informed throughout. I also boarded my female pitbull and female chihuahua for a week while I went on vacation to decompress, and they were so well cared for. They were happy and calm when I picked them up, which gave me total peace of mind. Mackenzie was very helpful and did an amazing job with the girls during their stay. I will absolutely be bringing my other male rescue dog in for behavior training next. If you ever find yourself in a stressful situation with your dog(s), reach out to Partners Dog Training. It is truly an investment in both you and your dogs—and one I couldn’t recommend more highly!

KH Karin H. Cave Creek Dec 2025 Google

I have used Partners Dog Training for the past 15 years to train, board & dog daycare. I have complete confidence my dogs are handled with care and the trainers are familiar with my dogs so they know of any potential triggers. I highly recommend Partners Dog Training.

I had a surgery planned at a hospital down the street from Partners Shea location. I was worried about what to do with my dog. I saw that your Partners Day Care team was open at 7:00am which was a perfect time to drop off my dog. I felt relieved that my favorite Day Care team would be watching my dog. I knew I would have a worry free day. Thank you Day Care team for giving my dog a fun day and thanks for posting the cutest pictures of him.

My dog and I love Pet Partners. Since a puppy, my dog has experienced fear and anxiety around strangers, dogs and places he’s unfamiliar with. Through a Foundation Camp and frequent Day School attendance, he is doing much better at meeting people and playing with dogs outside his own household. He also boards at Pet Partners and comes home happy and content. I receive updates from his stay along with photos. I truly appreciate the training, care and attention Pet Partners offers. We highly recommend this business!

We still have our private and our group lessons coming up and I can't wait! If you've ever thought about having your dog trained, this is a great place!

Had a great experience at Partners for their Rattlesnake avoidance training. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and walked us through the entire process. It is very quick and easy and definitely worth it living in AZ where the snakes are prevalent!

MV Marlo V. Cave Creek Sep 2025 Google

We've been taking our golden to Partners day train program for three months, and this by far the best and most consistent training we've experienced with any of our dogs. When she goes to daycare (always limited to small groups), we know that she is safe and her manners and skills are reinforced. The group training is excellent and consistent between all the trainers.

TA Tiffany A. Scottsdale Sep 2025 Google

We’ve been bringing our dog to Partners Dog Training, Resort, and Daycare for the past 3 years since moving to Arizona, and it has been nothing but a great experience. Our dog absolutely loves it, and so do we. One of my favorite things is the flexibility. I can drop him off for daycare without needing to book a reservation, and the option to pay either by package or day-to-day makes it really convenient. I also love that they include some training while the dogs are at daycare, which adds even more value. The fact that it’s all indoors is a huge plus, especially in the Arizona summer heat. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s comfortable, safe, and not stuck in a kennel all day. Instead, he gets to roam, play, and interact freely, which keeps him happy and social. We’re grateful to have found a place that feels like a second home for our pup. I highly recommend Partners to anyone looking for quality daycare, training, or boarding services for their dog.

RW R W. Scottsdale Sep 2025 Google

This place not only boards my dog, but also trained him (3 week bootcamp). Something I honestly did not think was possible. My dog ABSOLUTELY LOVES going, and comes home well mannered and content. Thank you EVERYONE at PARTNERS DOG TRAINING. You've truly changed my life!

I’m a long time client of Partners. The training we received with a very difficult pup helped him grow into being a great home pet. The reinforcement he gets during structured day care ( love it) keeps him on the straight and narrow. He comes home from day care and boarding happy, tired and behaving appropriately. Love their program.

Partners Dog Training has an amazing program, and I couldn’t be happier. My Afghan Hound puppy came back a completely different dog, and I mean that in the best way possible. Before the training he was sweet but completely unruly. Now, he heels beautifully, sits on command, and actually comes when I call him, which, if you know Afghans, is practically a miracle! I highly recommend the program! A truly great experience.

Partners is great!!! Both of my dogs do so well there. One our dogs is a little reactive and Noah, the trainer, does amazing with her!! It’s refreshing to know they are getting such good care when we are away!

KH Kelly H. Cave Creek Jul 2025 Google

Have used Partners Dog training for multiple dogs I have had over the years. They have always been professional and kind. They treat me with respect and do not talk over my head about what my dogs needs are and how to help correct behaviors. They handle my dogs with gentle hands and give them time to learn what is expected of them. When have an issue I will bring my fur buddies back to them always.

Partners dogs is the best boarding for dogs in Arizona. The care for each animal is excellent and they even work on small bits of training throughout the day. I highly recommend.

KK Kari K. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

The facility is clean and comfortable, with plenty of space. The trainers have done a great job teaching my boy everything he needs to be a good dog. I love all the trainers and Prince does too.

Great trainers and our dog loves it there.

Our puppy, Milo, has been going to Partners daycare for more than six months. It’s nice to bring him there a couple of times a week so he can get out of the house and socialize. We’ve taken advantage of the training classes and we just recently sent Milo to the two week training course where he learned a lot and we also learned how to continue the training at home. The staff seems very passionate about their jobs and the dogs seem happy to see them.

MH Marni H. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

The people at partners are so welcoming, professional and helpful. My puppy loves going there and being with all the other pups. I feel confident that her socialization skills are maturing and she is very loved there.

Positive atmosphere, good air conditioning, inside/outside access, and attentive staff, in my experience.

Dog Partners is the best my five year-old German Shepherd Dutch loves going to daycare there. They treat him as Family just like I would want anyone to treat my dear beloved pet. I love them. He loves them. He gets excited and lets me know when it’s daycare day he comes back so happy and loved and exhausted, which makes me happy thank you again Dog Partners for being the best doggy daycare there is love and hugs from Dutchie Brown and Trish Brown.

We have been using Partners for years. Not only for weekly daycare, but also for boarding when we travel. Our dogs love going to Partners!

I’m so happy with my experience at partners. My two prior dogs were trained at the Cave Creek location and I’m now enjoying all that the Shea location has to offer. My puppy loves to go to Day School and we both benefit from supplementing that with the group classes!

CD Cindy D. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

What a great time Fin and Stuart had at the boarding resort. They take great care of the dogs, send pics and updates while you are gone! Expensive!!!!!!! Thank you! Highly recommend!

AD Alissa D. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

We have been so happy with Partners Dog Training. We completed the 2 week foundation course. And are now doing follow up classes and utilizing our day camp days. Our pup arrives to day camp with excitement and comes home from day camp absolutely worn out. We have been reinforcing skills that her learned at camp and we feel like he is so easy to redirect when zoomies kick in or if he is showing any defiant puppy behavior. His command permanence is very impressive for an 8 month old puppy. He is very manageable on walks and handles distractions like a champ. No leash pulling and no sniffing strangers. We’ve already been sharing with all of our friends how happy we are with Partners Dog Training!

AR Alexander R. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

We know our pup is in great hands! Atina was great getting me interested in the training. Emma was very knowledgeable and comforting to us. Jaylee was also wonderful. Thank you all for everything

Great place! Took very good care of my dog Ramsey. my dog Ramsey went in very scared and anxious, and then when I picked him up after the 3 week overnight train program. He came back more confident and happier than ever. They did a fantastic job training him and exposed him to all the different scenarios to build confidence in him. I most definitely got my moneys worth. Shout out to Chase for making Ramsey a brand new dog! 10/10 would recommend this place!

CA Claire A. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

My pups love going to Partners. They have so much fun and get to work on common commands for training. They love the staff and playing with the other dogs

LI Lavish I. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

We did the 14 day training aka boot camp! Staff is amazing at Partners, FABULOUS!. We have a 23 week old minpin when we checked in and she’s a bit stubborn. She went in not knowing much at all. She now knows commands such as: heel, sit, down, come, place and free. She’s not doing very well in the potty training department. Potty training was our biggest challenge and still is. She is better but only by 20% on the potty training. She’s more vocal now than ever. I’m not sure if she is just finding her voice or more of a breed trait. She learned how to play nicely with other dog vs jumping all over every dog she meets. Our minpin loves other dogs and loves the socialization that she got daily at Partners. We still have 16 days of training. We plan to use them so that we continue to help our newest loved one become the well mannered and potty trained dog that we’ve always wanted as a family. I think it’s going to take much more than the 14 days to get our puppy to learn all her commands. We are 100% committed and I look forward to updating this review in a few months!

LR Linda R. Scottsdale Jul 2025 Google

Took out 11 month Doberman to partners in Scottsdale place was beautiful. Shane our evaluator was kind, courtesy and very knowledgeable. I will send Luke for daycare there and training. I highly recommend partners and I am very particular.

We got my dog Rowan from the Maricopa County Animal Shelter. He had been observed living on the streets for quite some time but had been extremely difficult to capture. This poor dog was terrified of everything, had no idea how to live in a house with people, understood zero commands and was EXTREMELY reactive to other animals. We really wanted to rescue this dog because I could see the "good boy" hidden behind all his fear. So, we enrolled him in Partner's (Scottsdale) "Foundation Camp". He lived at Partner's for 2 weeks to get consistent, daily training. When we went to pick him up we could not believe the changes. Rowan was now a very calm dog, understood and performed many commands correctly and actually wanted to go play nicely with the other dogs. We have continued to take him to weekly group training (one of the bonus perks for going through camp) and then we give him "fun time" in day care while we run a few errands. Rowan gets SO excited when he sees where we are going. He likes the training and seems very proud of himself for following commands correctly. He LOVES the staff and REALLY loves having play time with other dogs. (he is our only dog and we don't have any friends or family who own a dog for him to play with) When we pick him up from daycare, he is always sound asleep within 3 minutes because he had so much fun and played so hard . I can't possibly overstate the incredible job they did with Rowan and with us, too. They trained us so that we could continue consistent training at home and are always willing to answer any of our questions about dog behavior. The animal shelter was just a few days away from euthanizing Rowan. But with Partner' help we now have an incredibly well mannered, loyal and (very) loving dog. THANK YOU EVERYONE AT PARTNER'S !!!!!

KC Ka'ryn C. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

Partners Dog and Chase have done great with our little pup, Frijole! He spent three weeks in their board and train program learning some leash manners and refreshing some obedience. He has much less anxiety and stress on leash and his leash manners have improved immensely. He has even stopped being reactive towards barriers such as gates and fences. All of their support materials and videos help us reinforce his new training at home. He will be so much easier to travel with. Great Job!

LS Loren S. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

We have two standard poodles. When we enter Partners, our dogs are excited, and so happy! The staff make our dogs feel really special, a safe environment for them. We use daycare and boarding when needed. Partners offers important educational classes including snake training. Great value for the money.

JP Jennifer P. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

Partners dogs training has been key in the success of my dogs obedience. My dog did the foundations camp and they include a bunch of add ons to help you with continued success. Everyone there is fun, professional, and ready to help you and your pup succeed!

We would be lost without Partners. We have two large dogs, one who has behavior challenges that have evolved as he’s gotten older, and Partners has been with us every step of the way. We take our boys to DayTrain weekly, and school in the evening for group training. We wouldn’t take them anywhere else for overnight boarding, and love the updates & photos they share. They truly care about our families (dogs and humans) wellness and quality of life.

VC Virginia C. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

Partners is amazing. I’ve had them trained multiple dogs and really appreciate their practices. Chase came to do a private lesson today. He pointed out so many Small things I can change that are going to make a big difference.

KM Kelly M. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

We rescued our dog Sparr in October. She was 7 months old at the time and we havent had a pet in years and were excited to bring her home. Sparr was very anxious at home and out of the home. We tried training classes before I found Partner's. The training I took her too (not Partners) became exhausting for us as it was one hour a week class. Sparr wasn't making any progress on her anxious behaviors. After the New Year, I decided to Google Partner's, as I had seen it many times over the years on Shea but didn't know what it was about. I was hesitant at first to call Partner's until I was contacted to schedule an evaluation. I took Sparr to be evaluated at the beginning of March. They offered a very generous discount on the evaluation and for the behavioral board and train. Lexi was very informative about the board and train and what they work on with the dog. I left the evaluation feeling like Lexi was very interested in what we had to say about our concerns with our dog and she would work on some things we mentioned if we signed up for the board and train. I signed Sparr up the next week and brought her in the following week. I was depressed at first because I was already attached to my dog and didn't want her to hate me. LOL Over time, I became more comfortable with them using the training collar. My impression of a training collar is that it hurts the dog, but that is not the case. My dog responded very well to the collar, which makes it easier on us to take her on walks. during the three weeks of training, they sent me photos of Sparr and updated us of what Sparr worked on that day. I was happy to see the updates and pictures of Sparr's transformation. The first week back, Sparr was exhausted. She was a whole new dog. She wore us out as she never seemed to be stimulated or tired out before I sent her Partner's. It was a nice change to see her more obedient and not chewing on everything, not peeing in my daughter's room, pulling on the leash, jumping on the furniture, nibbling on my arms,etc. Taking her to training classes and dropping her off at day camp has helped Sparr continuously progress from what she learned at the obedience camp. I am seeing a lot of results at home and at camp with her confidence with people and other dogs. Lexi and other trainers have been amazing and supportive of helping Sparr meet her goals. This is not a training place that will give up on your dog or you. They LISTEN and provide very good tips and feedback. My family is overwhelmingly pleased with Partner's. I wish it was closer to us. Haha. I have told people I have met on walks about you and tell them that the cost is worth it! Thank you!

HH Heh H. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

Wonderful experience. Lucy has not ever been to a doggy daycare. This place is immaculate. I am super impressed. The head trainer, Nicole, spent the day with Lucy and provided sound and helpful feedback on how to get our little girl better trainer and more confident. Excited to bring her back for more socialization and to make new friends and to enroll us in training.

Dog Partners in Scottsdale is the best!! My dogs attend daycare weekly and I have boarded my dogs with them as well as had my dogs get trained there. The team is friendly helpful and knowledgeable. They treat my fur babies as if they were their personal dogs. My dogs also get baths and nails cut there and got snake avoidance training there. Again - I love the staff. My dogs love going. Don’t hesitate - you can trust your fur babies with this team. They are awesome

This place is incredible, and I am so thankful we found Partners. We took our puppy to the board and train, and take him weekly for day school. Our pup absolutely loves this place, and he always comes home worn out after a day full of learning and socializing with other dogs. Every trainer and staff member I have met and worked with has been kind, patient, and very attentive to our dog. 5 stars

ML Marien L. Scottsdale Jun 2025 Google

We are really happy with our choice in a top notch dog training facility. We are first time owners of an Afghan Hound, a breed that is notoriously difficult to train, and Emma did an amazing job at taking on this challenge. I loved receiving our first week update video that showed us tremendous progress in understanding key commands and definitely set our minds at ease the second week he was away. She took amazing care of him despite him punishing her with lots of naughty baths. I was so happy to see his daily pictures in which his white fur always looked groomed while he played with other pups. We look forward to enjoying many years to come with a canine companion we can communicate with thanks to Partners program. It’s a worthy investment I would make again when I get my dog a furry friend.

We 've been taking our 2 yr old Lab Henry to Partners since he was 4 mos old. He absolutely loves going to day school and comes home nice and tired. I love looking at the pictures of him playing. All of the trainers are terrific. Mica, Monica, Lucy, Rachel ,Sara, Meghan , all of them are great at what they do and Henry loves them all. Anita and Atina run the office and are always available to answer questions. They also do baths and nail trims when needed. I highly recommend Lartners for socialization and training. Teri Hicks

D Dan Cave Creek May 2025 Google

Been using Partners for years. From obedience classes to snake avoidance. Have tried cheaper places, but they don't stand up. Yes often the Trainers at Partners are young with limited experience, but they are trained by experience trainers who have a solid process. And after many dogs, it's about the process where the most value comes. And the facility is clean and large.

VK Virginia K. Cave Creek May 2025 Google

Not just doggy day care. They truly are your partners in training. Not only do the dogs love it here but they are better behaved because of their constant behavior reinforcement. Best ever!

AO Andre O. Cave Creek May 2025 Google

LB Lisa B. Cave Creek May 2025 Google

I love Partners Dog Training! We have a very rambunctious doodle. Their staff is very supportive, patient and not judgmental! I know at least 50% of my dog problems are me! Our trainer was very knowledgeable and no-nonsense and just as patient teaching me as she was our dog. We didn’t quite finish using all of our sessions in the allotted time, but Partners reached out to us and extended our time frame so we could get out all of our classes in. Thank you Partners!

BG Bill G. Cave Creek May 2025 Google

It took 20 minutes total! They put our Brittany on a long lead, showed him the first of 3 snakes, let him get the scent, shocked him, and pulled him back. He approached the 2nd snake hesitantly, and when he caught the scent and it rattled, he reversed direction quickly. And he wouldn't go anywhere near the 3rd snake - he already learned that scent is bad, run away! We feel better that he is now educated on snakes! I'll be bringing him back in the Fall for a reminder session!

LF Liz F. Cave Creek May 2025 Google

Kylee just completed her 2 weeks of foundational trading and did great. She is happy and clearly enjoyed herself. I enjoy d receiving daily photos and videos of her training. Lucy was wonderful with her and was very good at teaching me how to manage Kylee. She is a 75 lb Giant Schnauzer and can be very stubborn so keeping her in check is important.

Boarded our dog at Partners in Cave Creek this past weekend. Worked out great. She looked very happy and tuckered out from playing when I picked her up. Love that they include / insist on giving them a bath before pick-up. I highly recommend Partners if you need to kennel your dog. (Two years ago we also did obedience training with Partners Shea location, and that was terrific.)

MC Maureen C. Scottsdale May 2025 Google

I brought My puppy, Mocha, in for 2 weeks of foundational training. I can’t say enough about her trainer, McKenzie. She showed Micha a lot of patience, and now I have a much calmer dog that listens to commands and is also a lot quieter than she used to be.

Nicole was pleasant, insightful and generous with sharing information regarding our dogs behaviors and personality. She was considerate of our feelings and point of views that we have regarding our dog’s behavior. The assessment was accurate, informative and helpful in deciding what classes we wanted our dog to start her lessons in.

M Mia Scottsdale May 2025 Google

We have gone to a training couple classes here with our 6 year old dog, (almost 7), and he really loves them. I think the instructors have been really good at walking you through how to practice training with your dog. I took one star off because the first class we went to was so crowded it was hard for our dog to have enough space from other dogs in the class which made him way more distracted. The more recent class we went to today only had 3 people including us and was a lot better for our dog and it was really nice for him to have a little extra attention. Overall, I would recommend this place as the instructors are very nice and the facility seems to be kept very clean.

First time boarding for the pups. I was more anxious then they were. Everyone made an effort to make me feel comfortable with leaving the pups for 4 nights. They kept me updated on how the pups were doing daily and took the time to talk to me when I called to check in. Pups were bathed and ready for pick up. Signed up for day care a few days during there stay to break up there days. They always enjoy that. Today we are home. They are sleeping and glad to be home but we're in good hands during my time away. Glad to know there is a place for my fur babies that both of them and myself know they will be taken care of when I need to be away.

Partners is leaps and bounds above the other dog daycares out there. Everyone that works there is a trainer. Our doodle not only gets to expend energy playing w friends but also learns so much about manners when he goes to “school.” The staff is friendly and skilled. I can get his nails trimmed or get a bath if we need it.

Where do I begin? For the past few months we have been taking Tex to Partners Scottsdale for daycare a few times a month for socializing and to get used to the facility for when we have to board him. He had his 1st birthday at the end of June and just completed his two week training camp. I am amazed at what Emma B and support trainers have accomplished during those two weeks. Emma, I am so grateful for your knowledge and your calm and gentle manner. It was a joy to watch you show us what Tex has learned during his stay. The photo and video “pupdates” put my mind at ease. I could see he was happy and well taken care of. A BIG thank you to the Scottdale staff for keeping him safe and a special thank you to Jaylee for always loving on him and to Steven for always answering my questions.

We wanted a safe and cool space for our standard poodle as the AZ heat was too dangerous for even short time outside. We met the staff and were given a very good description of the layout and the programs available for daycare and training if desired. Our dog was evaluated as every pet is to determine what group is best and that they are best suited. I dropped Gracie off for her first training and daycare and she immediately took off with staff and never looked back. The next day I was walking her and suddenly realized she was not pulling on my leash and was directly at my side and very content through the entire walk. We were amazed at how quickly she was conditioned as we had always endured pulling. The staff also does a solid job reporting what they are working on and how Gracie did throughout the day.

My dog has been going to daycare at Partners Dog Training in Scottsdale for over 2 years. He has also stayed overnight in boarding a few times and we recently started going to some training classes. We have had nothing but positive experiences! My dog loves going to Partners and has learned so much in addition to having fun. I love their structured daycare where he not only gets to socialize appropriately with other dogs but also learn new things or reinforce things he already knows each time he’s there. Nicole has been amazing in dealing with my pup and helping me so much when I was struggling with some behavior issues. Jaylee at the front desk is always so helpful, loves on all the dogs and is always available to talk me through my worries while my dog is being boarded there. The fact that my dog LOVES to go there and loves the staff is proof to me that they are doing everything right. Thank you Partners for taking such good care of my dog!

Highly recommend Partners Scottsdale. Feel comfortable trusting your dog’s experience with their clean facilities and professional staff/trainers. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and put the dogs and customers first. This location is suitable for anyone looking to have their pet trained professionally or spend time in daycare or boarding.

I just sent my fourth dog to Partners Dog Training for their 2-week boot camp, and it was nothing short of amazing. The staff quite literally adopts the dogs in their hearts from the moment they meet them, creating an instant sense of comfort—which is such a relief when leaving your pet for two full weeks. Whenever I drop off my dog for daycare, they know him by name right away, which speaks volumes about their care and attention. Every single staff member my dog randomly encounters is filled with love, smiles, and plenty of pets—it’s just awesome! My dog is absolutely over the moon every time we go. The results speak for themselves. Their care, passion, and expertise are unmatched. I highly recommend Partners Dog Training to anyone with a pup looking to build the best possible life together. They truly set the gold standard!

ZD Zachary D. Scottsdale Apr 2025 Google

Partners dog training staff and facilities exceeded my expectations. We did the Three week program for our 11 month old Wheaten Terrier puppy and she. Improved dramatically in her behaviors, many that were stubborn. The program is centered on the right training with positive reinforcement and works with the owners as well to ensure a sustainable transition when returning from Camp. We spent about the same money for our former Wheaten Terrier in 2013 and there was no support to owners after which made the experience for our dog very negative after that type of training I am very pleased with the value we get from this training investment and I highly recommend Partners to other dog owners I meet.

I stopped into the Shea location and was greeted with kindest and most informative staff.

My fiancé and I were suggested Partners board and train program by some coworkers and WOW, we could not be more impressed! Upon the first meeting with our trainer, Lexi, she evaluated and created a personalized plan for our 7mo old mini Golden Doodle puppy, Benny! He is a crazy pup so it was not an easy task! Lexi was incredible in building the foundational commands, keeping us updated throughout the entire two week boarding with pictures and instructional videos, as well as continue to keep in contact with ways to help our pup! We felt included throughout the entire process and can't thank Lexi enough for everything she has done to help us have the right tools to train and keep Benny happy! The continued education classes and support from Partners is unmatched and I couldn't imagine sending our pup anywhere else!

Let me start with I have a very difficult rescue dog, at home we call her “the terrorist”. I am the only one who she even remotely likes so having to put her in a kennel for 6 days while I went out of town was really hard. The people at Partners were awesome to say the least! I thought for sure I’d get a call telling me I had to come get her, surprisingly enough I got pictures of her laying calmly on her bed behaving and pictures of her out in the play yard instead. She came home freshly bathed, happy and well cared for. They were quick to respond to my texts and made my out of town trip worry free. I would recommend them to everyone! Thank you so much for taking care of Classy!

I have had a consistently excellent experience with Partners over the past two plus years. They are responsible, knowledgeable and kind. Because of them my dog Seger is extremely well trained and equally well taken care of when I travel. I trust them completely and they are very communicative when I have questions, I could speak extensively about my experiences and wish I could cite everyone who works there in this review. From the daily warm greetings by Jaylee who makes Seger feel at home to Nicole who provides the training and accountability that Seger needs (and might actually like) I have not had a single interaction that was not top notch. Thank you so much Partners! Seger sends his warm regards as well.

This is day one. I have two dogs that are young, one is two years old. One is 10 months old. When I got them, they were crate trained, in a single crate. They have been patient with me as I learn how to help them navigate, but we weren’t making any progress. I began feeling overwhelmed and less than confident. My dogs and I had an interview and I decided on the spot that this facility and their regimen is what we all needed. It’s a personal decision for sure, and the third facility that I interviewed by phone. I will keep you posted…

After researching many dog training facilities, we chose Partners Dog Training. We put our dog Dusty into their 28 day Transformation Camp. Dusty entered camp as a very frightened, insecure 7 month month puppy with severe aggressive and behavioral issues. After his 4 week camp, Dusty is no longer guarding his food or acting aggressive towards other dogs. He is learning how to be a well behaved puppy. I can not thank Nicole enough for the help and encouragement she has given my family and Dusty. I highly recommend Partners Dog School. Everyone has been so accommodating, compassionate and caring throughout Dustys journey.

My experience with Partners Dog Training in Scottsdale has been fantastic! This is a very professional group of trainers, who implement daily structure, guidance, direction, and encouragement for your dog. Be it during individual training, or group play time, I have complete confidence in their abilities to manage to my dog’s needs, being flexible when necessary, and working with me, to continue on-going learning, to help my dog achieve his highest level of success. Nicole has been highly communicative with me, which I greatly appreciate, and has remained committed to my dog’s growth in training, socialization, and overall health. The entire staff at Partners will not disappoint, and your dog will love learning under their programs, while also making new friends. Thank you Partners!

TM Todd M. Scottsdale Apr 2025 Google

We feel so fortunate to have found Partners. Over the last 18 months they've provided fantastic care, training and support for Toji, our extremely high-drive Jack Russell Terrier. He attends DayCamp several days a week which he absolutely loves and has gone through several training camps which have been a tremendous help in shaping his behavior. We also use them for boarding and feel completely confident he'll be in good hands. The trainers and staff at Partners are all incredibly caring and deeply get to know each dog and their particular needs. Extra shout out for Nicole who has guided Toji's training from the very beginning. She's been amazing with him and is always available to answer questions or to give advice for our special dog.

Update - we continue to use Partners Dog Training for our pup and love it! She loves going to DaySchool each week and I love that she continues to receive training! I also appreciate that there is structure and it isn't a free for all. This is also the only facility that we board her when we're out of town. I like that they know her, the facility is clean and I am confident she is safe. It is really heard warming to see the relationship she has with all the trainers! We went through Puppy & Me and Level 1 training with our pup. The sessions were really helpful and the trainers had great feedback. You need to do your homework but it all pays off! She also loves going to daycare each week and comes home exhausted!

BH Brandy H. Scottsdale Apr 2025 Google

You can feel fully confident of your dog's safety, well being and happiness at Partners. They don't just care about each dog and their owner, they take pride in being the best. It's the best training. The best dogie daycare. The best staff. Updating this review 8 months later. I can still recommend the service and staff highly. Unfortunately, I have to note that they have just changed their pricing significantly. The rate has increased by more than 50% pricing me out of their program. I can’t express highly enough my deep disappointment. I started there when they first opened, relied on them, loved how they enriched my dog’s training and well being. I can’t imagine how anyone not in the highest income bracket could afford this now. It’s a shocking increase that makes their facility available to the elite and most privileged.

AM Anica M. Scottsdale Apr 2025 Google

I was referred to Partners by a good friend whose dog is consistently well-behaved and calm. Knowing my puppy would require training, I decided on boarding when she was around seven months old. This option provided her with valuable socialization and exposure to multiple handlers. The experience was exceptional, largely due to Lexi, who led both our puppy, Sopita's training, and ours. Lexi was always available to answer our questions and attentive to our needs. We often joke that Sopita misses her more than us when she leaves day school! Now, Sopita thoroughly enjoys her obedience training and her time at Partners. I highly recommend their training services! Thank you Lexi for everything you have done for our fur family!

I cannot recommend Partners for Dogs in Scottsdale highly enough! At the suggestion of a friend, my husband and I decided to stop by and ask a few questions to see if they would be a “fit.” I have now been sending my dog, Winston, to “train and play” day school for the past year, and he comes home happy and exhausted!! From the first day I walked in, I felt like Winston and I were part of an incredible facility. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and truly passionate about what they do. I have gotten to know many of the staff, including Jaylee, Nicole, Hannah and Lexi, and they are absolutely fantastic, as are the rest of the staff. The facilities are excellent, providing a safe, clean, and stimulating environment for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Winston loves going to daycare here and the training sessions they provide during daycare have really helped improve Winston’s behavior and temperament. Whether you're looking for daycare, boarding, or training, Partners for Dogs is the place to go. They go above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners have a positive experience. Thank you, Partners, for providing a truly authentic and unique experience for Winston!!

We really like Parteners for the snake training. They are very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our 2 Weims responded to the training, 1 being new to the trianing and the other for a refresher. The trainers worked together well, with the main trainer guiding the handler for 1st for scent training, and then for hearing the rattle. Partners is our preferred Snake Avoidance school by far.

LU Lisa U. Cave Creek Mar 2025 Y Yelp

This was our 3rd time to go through the snake training program at Partners. Each time has been a great experience. The trainers are all professional and kind. They 100% know what they're doing, and they've got it down to a science. After the initial, first training, my dog won't go near the snakes now, and yesterday was our third refresher course. I feel pretty confident that if my dog ever saw a rattlesnake in our backyard, he would not go near it. It does give me a sense of peace, knowing that if he did go up to one, he would at least be cautious. I think the snake training really helps especially for curious dogs like mine. Of course nothing is guaranteed and things happen, but I've got my snake stick and I check the yard every morning just to make sure we have no unwanted visitors back there! I highly recommend this program, it's worth the money and the peace of mind, knowing that I'm doing everything I can to make sure my dog stays safe here in the desert.

DK Deanna K. Cave Creek Oct 2024 Y Yelp

Highly recommend Dog Partners in Shea in Scottsdale! They are by far the best with all dogs and dog personalities. I have 3 rescues - mid size and extra large. I have adopted all 3, one by one, over the past 2 years. They helped me acclimate them to each other and get them socialized and get them trained so that I can walk them together. My dogs also have boarded there and the staff is caring and fantastic. The prices are very reasonable and the care and training is out of this world. My dogs love seeing "Auntie Nicole" at the Scottsdale location. Nicole has been fantastic. Again, we have large breeds that we adopted and she was on the phone with us, walking through how to introduce dogs to each other especially when we brought #3 dog, Aurora RooRoo, home from the shelter. She identified the individual needs of each dog and worked with each to get them to be better listeners. My dogs go to daycare once every week and board there when I have to travel for work. Also! They do all these cute projects with them for holidays so it's like Presxhool when your kids make art project gifts for the holidays. Last and I can't encourage enough everyone to do this. We got our dogs rattlesnake trained there. It was super easy. I dropped them off for daycare on rattlesnake training day - dogs went to daycare and the team pulled them out when it was time for training, did the training and then off the dogs went back to daycare. Super easy for working folks and they have grooming services! So again, super easy for working folks like me - I drop dogs off at daycare in the morning, they play and train with Nicole and then get baths before I pick them up. This place is a life saver. Do yourself a favor if you have a busy schedule - check them out. And even if your schedule isn't as hectic, do your furrbaby a favor and check this place out for the fun games they can play and friends they can make.

SF Scott F. Cave Creek Oct 2024 Y Yelp

Partners is amazing! I brought my German shepherd dog Oggie here after he was traumatized by a very expensive trainer. I learned too late that this guys training was fear and intimidation based. Sierra L. Understood my situation and not only helped Oggie recover but taught him in a positive way with tail wagging! They do individual and group sessions to socialize around dogs of all sizes. They have a whole video library you can watch for detailed instructions and really problem solve. Sierra even did a home visit to work out issues I'm having between my two smaller rescues and Oggie. Insightful and very helpful. I have learned so much and I'm not finished with group classes yet. They have a large beautiful indoor air conditioned space and a big outdoor area. They also do training for rattlesnake avoidance! I highly recommend Partners. Now that I tried Petsmart classes and Mr. Yablonski I would not go anywhere else!

We have worked with Partners for several years, starting with basic training for our puppy, who is now almost four years old. Their facility on Shea Road is first class and the staff is always professional in their approach.

BW Brittainy W. Cave Creek Apr 2024 Google

Our dog loves Partners and they love him... even though he can be a bit of a handful! Our little dude is fear aggressive, so it makes it extra hard for us to board him. The trainers at Partners are well equipped to deal with behavior issues. If we were to kennel him anywhere else, he would be relegated to spending the entire time completely away from people and other dogs. At Partners, they work hard to socialize him. We are so thankful that Gus has such a great home away from home!

SH Susan H. Cave Creek Apr 2024 Google

We enrolled our puppy in Cave Creek Partner's Doggie Daycare and decided to get the puppy training sessions too. We have been very happy with the entire facility and program. Our pup loves going, and the daycare trainers are very sweet and conscientious. We love getting daily report cards and photos of our pup in action. Our little girl comes home exhausted and very satisfied. We are also very happy with the 4 week obedience training we did too. Our 7 month old toy poodle is very rambunctious and energetic. She is eager to play and loves to socialize. The puppy training sessions allow for playtime and social interaction while they also serve as an introduction to a more in-depth program that Partner's offers. Our trainer for those sessions was Monica. She is wonderful. She has a bubbly personality and is very approachable. My pup loves her! Because the intro session was helpful, we decided to enroll our pup in the next level 8 week obedience classes. We think we need them as much as she does! Probably the most important thing we learned at the obedience sessions is that training isn't just for the pup. The real training is teaching the pup owners how to command the attention of their pet. Consistency and follow-through are important parts of the session. All training done on site is just a small part of obedience training. Homework and practice are the components that will yield true results. We look forward to the next 8 weeks!

The Board and Train program at Partners was amazing and I am very pleased with the results. We did the 2 week program with Leina as our main trainer. She or one of the other trainers sent a report card and pictures of our puppy daily. Our puppy will be a very large dog and it's important to me that he is well trained. I found the videos they sent me clear and concise and I can look at them when I need a refresher on what our puppy learned. The exit session is 1.5 hours and I left feeling confident that I can implement what he learned at home. I just finished the follow up session and will also be attending the group lessons on Saturdays! Leina did a fantastic job with our large and very energetic puppy!

MR Michael R. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

The trainers are amazing at Partners. We learned so much and our dog is so awesome now. Total game changer. We did the Puppy and Me, and Level 1 Obedience training. Thank you so much Nicole Colasacco and Dakota Johnson and all the other trainers that helped shape our Australian Shepherd. We also occasionally bring our dog to the daycare for socializing.

JC Jordan C. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Nala just loves coming here! She came for training and it has made her such a great dog. She still comes for boarding and weekly daycare. The staff is amazing and takes such great care of her she always looks forward to coming. We also love the report cards and pictures they include when she visits. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️🐕🐾

Our dog Raja has been going to day camp and training at Partners for the past year and a half or so, and they are just the most incredible people. I 100% trust them with my boy. They are professional, kind, fun, and thoughtful. What a great find for us.

Amazing care for my 2 dogs who spent 5 days a week in daycare over a year+. Every person was caring and considerate giving my dogs lots of attention and making them feel at home.

My doggy always comes home from Partners’s daycare, smiling and tired. That says it all.

EG Emily G. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Partners Doggie Daycare is THE BEST. Before Partners, we have tried several other daycares and our girl hated going (cowered, tried to run away, crying when we left), she was always dirty when she left and got sick often (kennel cough or ear infections). After starting at Partners, she LOVES going to daycare and runs in the door. She is known by name when being dropped off. We really appreciate the report cards/pictures and ESPECIALLY that the staff are all trainers. She is expected by all the staff to be a good girl and mind her manners - the staff makes sure of that! Thank you Partners for being a place we can trust with our dog-ter 💕 I also highly recommend the rattle snake training program (done at the Cave Creek location).

SR Sean R. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog, Partners is truly amazing! From boarding and daycare to snake avoidance training, they are simply the BEST

DH Donna H. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

I think this will work out well but, our first obedience 1 class was a struggle. Nowhere do they say not to bring puppy on first class. I tried to call, I even drove down before the class and was given incorrect information. For OBEDIENCE 1 class…don’t bring your dog!

ML Mike L. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

So happy our neighbor referred us to Partnership Dog Training. Our dogs just love the staff when going for daycare and bordering. You know you found a great place, when you drive up to the facility, and your dogs are jumping up with excitement. You can trust them with all your pet care needs.

KT Kelli T. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Great group! Everyone is so knowledgeable. I checked out several training facilities....by far the most accommodating.

LG Lorin G. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

After picking our dog up from two week training, so far we are very pleased. Staff was very informative up front and answered all of our questions as well as gave us a tour. I felt confident and comfortable leaving my newly rescued dog there. The daily updates and pictures were always nice as we never felt out of the loop. Chase took his time in showing us all our dog had learned and how we can continue to make him successful . Also like the after training that is provided for follow up as needed.

TO Tim O. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

VH Victoria H. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

My 8 month pup, Lexi, learned SO MUCH and is so much easier to handle. From Partners report cards, pictures & videos we were kept informed and the 2 follow up trainings and group trainings are terrific! Using them again in 2 weeks for boarding our older dog & this pup. Will do training sessions with both together to help us with walking them together, etc!

LP Lori P. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

I t was a nice place and seemed well planned out. We only stayed for one class and didn’t sign up due to location. That was the only reason. I’d suggest trying it out though.

M Molt1968 Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

I just wish I could leave more than 5 stars, as Partners Dog Training has been phemominal!!! We have 2 girls that were quite reactive to one another, we did the 28 day training program and what a difference it has made. We even opted for the rattle snake aversion training for th egirls, as we want to take them hiking with us, once tempoeratures drop. The highlight for us was in finding out Partner's Dog Training actually helped rehabilitate some of Michael Vick's victims, so if they were able to helop them, we know they would be able to help our girls, who were not as bad off. My favorite aspecct to Partner's is that they not only train the dog, but train we humans as well, which has come in handy. They explained how e-collars are not "shock collars", we should instead think of them as a Tens machine; if you go to Physical Therapy, they use Tens/ Stimulation to help injured body part to be less painful. Our Trainer, Caroline, also had us hold the e-collar in our hand so we would have empirical knowledge as to what the dogs feel. Another wonderful thing is after the 28 day stay was over, they did not just say "See ya", we got further training sessions with the girls, and she follows up frequently to make sure things are going according to plan. We did see online that Partner's also does agility training, which we had been interested in taking our Kelpie to as she is high energy/a true athlete. The agility training is only at their Cave Creek location, and we have signed up our girl for it.

Good to see everyone again at Partners and thank you Nicole for your suggestions on how to handle Lily in class she was much better behaved.

MV Melissa V. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

We have German Shepard rescue with a bite record. He is super obedient. We needed an experienced trainer to work with him to identify who he is and what he is capable of so we can create a life that he gets to live fully. Everyone at Partners was terrific to work with but our trainer, Caroline was exceptional. She gave us such a detailed roadmap of our dogs head and great tools to help him overcome what he can and safety protocols when he can't. Being a gentleman in a muzzle was the BEST! She is the kindest most patient trainer I have ever worked with. Board and train is a commitment and sacrifice. We plan to do daycare simply for fun on occasion and utilize the boarding services. Thank you so much, Partners and Caroline.

JK Jake K. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

I dropped my dog Tank off 3 weeks ago and so happy I decided on Partners. Kal was Tank's main trainer and was incredible throughout the whole 14 day stay. He even texted me personally to assure me Tank was doing well. Since coming home, Tank has been a night and day difference. He's got a strong foundation of commands that we continue to work at. In addition to the commands, he's genuinely more calm and overall better behaved on a day to day basis. I'm looking forward to continue stays and daily training sessions with the Partners team. I highly recommend for any dog owner!

NS N S. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

I was very impressed with the time you (Ella) spent with me updating and educating me to better assist with Harley’s training. As this was our first session today, I look forward to future sessions and can update on Harley’s progress. The facility and staff are very attentive. I love the concept of the dogs being able to play and get trained during the same session. Thank you !!!!

Great place for all dog owners. Partners offer classes and programs for any type of help you and your dog might want. I have been taking my dogs to Partners for over 20 years! I am not easily impressed, but I highly recommend their obedience, agility, and rally classes.

Our 2 pups have boarded , with either All Day Play or added obedience lessons, quite a few times. They love going to Partners and it gives us peace of mind knowing they are very well taken care of and stimulated while they are there. This is the second set of pups that we have entrusted to Partners over a 20 year period of time so we have a long history with their great care and instruction they provide to our pups.

CR Cathy R. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

This was my dog's first time going to a boarding facility so I was nervous if he'd do OK. I was SO impressed when I walked in. The staff is efficient and everyone is well informed. The facility is amazing - clean, spacious, top notch and fully equipped. The trainers immediately knew how to make my dog feel comfortable and when I picked him up he was wagging his tail. I will definitely be using Partners again not only for boarding, but most likely for a training camp. Great place with a true passion and knowledge for animal behavior.

SB Steff B. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Clean place, very caring staff! I own two Rottweilers and they were not welcome in many places because of their breed, but when I visited Partners Dog Elaina was vey kind and helpful while explained all the steps we have to take in order for them to be able to stay there. Our first visit was so peaceful and happy!!! Thank you Partners Dog!

KL Kathy L. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Our dogs are part of our family. We took our 1st doeberman to partners for training, then for boarding when we travel. We added a new doeberman to the family. He is currently in boot camp. He will be gone for 2 weeks. This would be unsettling to most. We trust this company and the staff. We know the kind of care our kids receive. We receive nightly report cards on his progress. If you are looking for excellent care or training, this is the place to go. You will not have a worry.

Our dog is well cared for here. He loves the All-day play. Like their kennels. We did training several years ago and were happy with the results, especially "place" command. One downside is no Sunday drop off/pickup. Overall, we love how our dog is cared for and drive all the way from Peoria to bring him here.

No matter how challenging your issues with your dog, you can trust Partners to handle them. I've loved everyone we've worked with over there, from Anita with intake to Noa, who took our stubborn little Frenchie and trained her to be well-behaved. The communication throughout was excellent. The results are even better than we hoped for. We can't recommend Partners highly enough.

SW Suanne W. Cave Creek Apr 2024 Google

Woof Woof!!! I. cannot say enough great things about Partners Dog Training. My 10 month old Boxer/Pit rescue has completed the 2 week board and train and I was super happy with the results. The ability to attend the weekend group follow up training sessions has further helped to solidify all he learned while boarding and training. We just started the Agility Training Class out at the Cave Creek location and we had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! I had so much fun running around the field with my puppy. He loved navigating the tunnel and the jumps! Last night was our first session and I cannot wait to see what we learn next week! Shout out to Lenia , our trainer! She did a great job with my puppy!

KK Kim K. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

We left our dog, Cooper in the 2-week boarding/training program. at their facility on Shea. The staff was terrific with special mention of Jaylee and the head trainer Leina! They took time to explain training, collar options and how they handle daily potty breaks. We got daily report cards from Leina and a couple other trainers that told us what they worked on that day. We got a mid-stay video of his training progress, and a detailed exit report card with suggestions on how we should continue his training. We are going back tomorrow for a 1-week post training followup, and even had a phone call before that asking how Cooper was doing. I have to say, for being a 6 month old puppy, he has some discipline already, and we have continued the training that Leina suggested. All-in-all they were very professional, accessible and competent as their suggestions have worked and he is getting better every day. I can wholeheartedly recommend Partners and their staff to anyone!! We will be boarding Cooper a couple months from now and they have a refresher training option that we will purchase to go along with that. They are an awesome group!

AT Adam T. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

We enrolled our five-year-old Jindo mix, Nymeria, in the 21-day behavior training camp at Pet Partners in Scottsdale. Nymeria is very sweet, but has had some socialization issues with other dogs. I am happy to say that our trainer Chase and the rest of the Partners team exceeded our expectations. We have had Nymeria back home for about a week and she is already doing much better around other dogs. In fact, her behavior has improved in several other ways as well - she responds to commands, is easier to walk, and eats all of her food (she was much pickier before). More importantly, we were given the tools and resources to continue her training on our own. I can’t recommend Partners and our trainer Chase enough. Five stars!

My reactive dog came back from training camp so much improved and less anxious! Chase (who is amazing with both people and pups) coached my family through training techniques and so far they have made a huge difference! They provide follow up sessions and truly understand the longitudinal nature of training for lasting results. The facility is incredible— there’s a mock bedroom, dog treadmill, lots of cute dog friends to play/train with safely, and great staff. Worth the money.

LF Lori F. Scottsdale Apr 2024 Google

Lena, our trainer, and the entire staff were professional, friendly, and thorough. Each day our trainer would send us a daily report card with how our dog performed during their one-on-one session and included a few photos too! We always looked forward to the report cards each day while our dog was at camp. The follow up and additional parent training was excellent and invaluable. Our dog has become a very well behaved, obedient dog with this exceptional training. Thank you so much!

We sent our little guy to the board and train program and had a great experience! It was really hard to be away from him for two weeks, but we loved getting his report cards and could tell he was really well taken care of. Our pup had a lot to work on…he’s very high energy and reactive to other dogs but he learned so much during his training and gained a lot of confidence, making him much more manageable on walks now. We learned a lot as well and both the training videos provided and the follow up appointments were really helpful to understand exactly what he working on so we could continue the training at home. Dakota was amazing to work with and really got to know our dog and his little quirks. She was incredibly patient with him (and us…) and is truly a miracle worker!

Hi Renee! Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad to hear your dog loves her time with us and enjoys the company of our day camp play supervisors. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by her being dirty at pick-up. We'll make sure to address this to ensure a cleaner and more enjoyable experience next time. Looking forward to seeing you both again soon!

Great, efficient setup and collar training. Trainers were great, and kind to my dog and me! They thoroughly explained everything.

SH Susan H. Cave Creek Mar 2024 Y Yelp

We just completed our first agility training at the Cave Creek location with our pup, Maisie. She is an 11 pound toy poodle who loves a challenge and has lots of energy. An advanced group shared the field with our beginner group. There were to separate courses: one for beginners, one for the next level. It was inspirational to watch dogs who have undergone additional training run the course. In our group there was a very pleasant mix of large and small dogs, and young and older humans. We loved watching as every week the participants became more and more capable and confident. Our final session was as much fun to watch as it was to do. We look forward to our next level and even more challenges to conquer! We had a great experience. Anita, Monica, and Sierra are enthusiastic, supportive and knowledgable. They bring humor and fun to the field, while at the same time demanding focus and compliance with expectations. Maisie loved it and so did we. I was impressed by their concern for the safety of the dogs and the way they took the time to work one-on-one when a pup needed a little extra assistance. We appreciated being able to use the equipment and space for practices outside of class. Although homework wasn't required, we found one practice a week made a huge difference in our success. Every week we reviewed previous training and were introduced to something new. To be honest, Maisie picked up the training faster than we did! It is as much a learning experience for the pet owners as it is for the pets. Who would have thought that a 69 year-old unathletic woman could have so much fun "running" an obstacle course with her year-old puppy?

been taking my little guys here for quite awhile for day care. very caring staff all the way around. have special events a few times a year w/photos from every visit. nice facilities for summer & winter. would be great if the barn had A/C but i believe they have misters. dogs get to play with others small or bigger which makes for great socialization & keeps them occupied.

I haven't boarded either of my dogs here but if I needed to I wouldn't hesitate. I have taken my dog to several training classes and rally events. I have seen first hand the caring and professional treatment the dogs are given. Over the past several years Partners has proven to me that they care about my dog and will help me solve any issues as well as provide a fun venue for training and interacting. Whether it's earning obedience ribbons or snake avoidance training I believe you can depend on their professionalism.

The training went smoothly and I felt those conducting the training were professional and wanted the best from my dog. Now all I can do is hope my dog remembers what she learned if the time ever comes to avoid snakes. That being said I recommend this company.

We took our dog for her first rattlesnake avoidance training and though we have nothing to compare it with, we left super happy! Her appointment was for 9:30 AM and we were greeted right away and waited no longer than five minutes before we started. Staff was great! Very friendly and walked us through each and every stage of the training as our dog was led through it. Training site, though quite a drive from the Prescott Valley, was easy to find and it's actually much larger than we expected. They were definitely busy, but managed time effectively. We highly recommend this business and look forward to follow-up training.

Rattlesnake Training: Very professional. Explained the training process and reasoning behind it thoroughly before proceeding. I asked and received permission to video the training.

We have 2 puppies and one was a bit of of a delinquent. He spent 2 weeks at Partners and learned to calm down, place, heel, sit, stay and play better with his brother. I would say that they should introduce outside noises and stimuli into their program as we have had to work him through the distractions of home. Overall they were very good about sending postcards often to talk about his progress and Include pictures. We will be going to their group trainings to further solidify his training.

Our little schnauzer, Kenai, is a totally different dog. We were seriously considering giving her to someone who wants an active dog. She is FANTASTIC!!! we are so happy we have our other little dog going through the program. Thank you, Sam, for working with our little dog and showing her right from wrong. Thank you again, everyone, Melanie Kunz

My puppy and I just finished the Puppy and Me class. Monica and Hunter were great, they really help you work with your dog. I really enjoyed it, and I think we both got a lot out of it.

DM Dominick M. Cave Creek Apr 2023 Google

Honestly great experience, being away from your pup for 2 weeks is a struggle, but with the way they keep you up to date with report cards almost every day is incredible. Picking up my dog I noticed a huge difference in the way she acted just regularly, plus the team was super informative on proceeding the training when she’s back home. Great experience. I will be a long time customer.

I took my first dog, a Rhodesian, to Partner’s 12 years ago and they were great. I recently entrusted them with my two doodles- and was not disappointed. I received frequent updates and can notice a huge change already in their attention. The trainers are very knowledgeable and caring!

Friendly from the time I came in to the time I picked up my dog from all day play. Today was her assessment day and she did well but I think it’s because of the team! We chose the unlimited doggie daycare plan and look forward to her having a blast while I’m working away during the day

PT Patricia T. Cave Creek Apr 2023 Google

There are other places to take your dogs for daycare but none who are as dedicated and as knowledgeable. The whole staff is extremely friendly and really loves animals. We have taken Ryder and our now deceased Shepard Wyatt for training along with my daughters two dogs to Partners over the past 7 years. The staff does a very good job training you to train your dog. We have always received such praise on how friendly and easy to work with both Wyatt and Ryder have been from our Veterinarians, which they tell us it not that usual for a German Shepard. It truly is because of the exposure we give them at Partners!

ML Mick L. Cave Creek Apr 2023 Google

I have never been more excited to leave a review. Our Tibetan Mastiff turned a year and a half, and started to show some violent tendencies. We did our research and enlisted the help of Partners Dog Training . Outlaw was with them for four weeks. He is now a different dog. Andy has worked a miracle with one of the most stubborn breeds out there! If you’re having trouble correcting your dogs behavior. There is no better place than Partners Dog Training. We could not be happier. Thank you for bringing this amazing dog back to our home.

Ubu’s Journal: I need to give a shout-out to my buddies at Partners Dog Training. They call it training, I call it Puppy Palace-Arizona’s premier all-inclusive resort. I have been coming here for years for training, but when I get to board here it’s a great relaxing experience. Just this year my Pack Leader had to go away for a few weeks right at my birthday. Not to worry, they came through with a great cake I got all to myself! Calisthenics every morning helped me keep my shape and reinforced my basic skills, then it was off to the veranda for “all day play”. I so love it! I get to mingle with my fellow guests, sipping margaritas (okay, water) by the bucket and alternating between playing, sunning, or getting a massage from the staff (they give the BEST ear rubs). I even fell in love with a beautiful poodle, but I don’t bark in French so unfortunately all we got to do was hang out a bit and play. Supreme Leader just hates to leave me, but the daily report cards ease his mind and he says the pics always make him smile. I’m back in my castle now and have to get to work protecting the realm from delivery drivers, squirrels, and wind-driven leaves. But I know I will be back again to see my friends-both two and four-legged.

DM Dan M. Cave Creek Apr 2023 Google

My dog always seems to enjoy her time here, and the staff is great. I’ve boarded my dog here a few times and even got some training for her while she’s boarded.Highly recommended.

We have had four of our dogs go through training with Partners, and it has been a great experience with each one. I would highly recommend Partners for any dog owner.

DA Debra A. Scottsdale Apr 2023 Google

I was at the end of the road with issues with my two rescues. 30+ years of dog parenting was not enough to give me the tools I needed. This was the last ditch effort to help me gain control and prevent a rescue fail. I enrolled both girls in the 3 week Behavioral Boarding Camp. The staff were ALL extremely kind and helpful. Everyone was so great with my very insecure dogs. At my 2 week demo visit, I saw big improvements, giving me hope! When I went for the 3 week session to bring the girls home, I saw even more improvement. Not going to lie, working on the issues at home IS work. I have my own retraining that needs to happen to work with my dogs and correct unwanted behaviors. However, I can't stress enough how much things have already improved and should continue with my added work and the support of Partners Dog Training resources including tools I was given at the demo and owner training sessions before bringing my dogs home, online tools, and staff support! Thanks PDT for giving me hope for happy pups and happier fur mom!!

Our dog spent nearly two weeks boarding with daily training at Partners. The trainers were amazing and sent detailed and fun updates daily. We enjoyed the daily news of his adventures and ultimately picked up a very happy and confident pup at the end of his stay. We are quite picky about who we trust with our animals and I would recommend Partners to anyone without reservation after this experience.

DS Debra S. Scottsdale Apr 2023 Google

My twin pugs have gone from not being without my mom to completely trusting the amazing handlers at Partners. We arrived and they knew they were in great hands. Total peace of mind for a working mom.

MP Miki P. Scottsdale Apr 2023 Google

Our dog showed aggressive behavior to the staff at PetSmart Day Care. They told me they could not take her. We looked for a boarding that can handle dogs with aggressive behavior. We found Partners Dog Training. Before I brought my dog in, they made sure there were no other dogs and people (other than staff). When I walked in, my dog was excited or nervous, pulling the leash. I commanded "heel", and we started walking . The head trainer came next to me and told me to hand the leash to her as we walked together. As soon as I handed the leash to her, she and the dog started walking together and went into the back room as if the dog never noticed the transition.I was totally amazed and impressed. During the stay, they emailed me the report and some photos of the dog. It was comforting to see my dog and to know that she was getting comfortable with the trainers. At this place, my dog didn't show any aggressive behavior at all!

I use the Shea location and love the location and it's size. I took my puppy in for day care evaluation and he loved it and his trainers. We are now just 2 weeks away from finishing Level 1 Dog training and our trainers Nicole and Chase are fantastic. Dog Partners maintains a very safe and clean facility. I am signing up for Level 2 training and then to Cave Creek facility for agility training. Their costs are a tad high for training but this is a pure case of "you get what you pay for!". Which I have a happy, trained puppy and I enjoy going myself to learn and practice.

I am definitely going to recommend Partners to other fur parents.

I brought my dog to Partners for obedience and socialization. It was very emotional to leave her for 3 weeks. It is definitely an investment but it was well worth it! Hannah and Mat are amazing trainers and I felt so good about my decision after receiving consistent photos and report cards. The facility is well run from the front desk to the trainers to the support staff. I will never own a dog again that I don’t put through the training! It has made me a better pet parent with a much happier dog! Thank you so much Partners!!!!

They are compassionate and can modify their training to your needs and your ideal dog temperament and environment. I couldn’t be more grateful for the foundation they are helping me build with my dog! I will definitely be back for group classes and daycare. Hannah was our trainer and she did such an awesome job and made me feel so heard!

RW Robert W. Scottsdale Apr 2023 Google

I cannot say enough about this daycare center. My boy loves daycare here. Staff seem genuinely interested in my dog & were always focused on providing stimulus both mental and physical to the dogs. They also ensured no harm came to the dogs by ensuring they were separated and giving dogs time out if required. i wish all daycare facilities were like partners.

They take such good care of their dogs and they treat them like family. We were fortunate enough to have our dog in their daycare and then in boarding for a period of time. She would always come home worn out and happy. Any time we said the word, "daycare" she would jump in the car excited as all get out. You can tell that they love their pups and treat them very well. Nessie misses all of you!

KV Kimberly V. Cave Creek Apr 2022 Google

We did a board / train for our pup in June of this year. Her main trainer was , Karli. We LOVE Karli & so does our dog! Our pup came home with new manners & it’s been great ! We did a session with Karli on pick up to teach us how to keep up with our dogs training at home. That part was fabulous ! It’s intensive and not treat driven as other training classes / courses are ..as we did another training course , privately when our pup was 10 weeks — we loved the trainer there too , BUT, when training is so driven with treats , it’s hard to instill without them ! ..The daily report cards sent are a great way to know what is happening with your fur child while he/ she is being trained, too and you aren’t there. We also received 4 group sessions of training for our pup. We did one of those already at the Cave Creek location.. and tbh, it was over 107* out the day we took her; the water given to the dogs was in a common tub and not cold ..& our pup was done in about 20 min of a hour long class , and so were here hoomans. To be fair , we should have brought our own water for her .. we assumed training would be indoors & bowls would be separate. Before the next session , a week later with over 100* temps again, we called to have those sessions extended as we decided for us , & our pup, it didn’t seem safe to be training in heat , out doors and frankly , would waste our valuable session if our dog just laid down over heated! We just boarded our pup here for a weekend and it’s the first time we did that since her board & train. I made a reservation via the parent portal with all of our pups updated information and that includes her feeding schedule / food / etc. We decided to add a session or two of training too. I loved that this was a pre- done thing ,as drop off with an excited pup is generally chaotic when it’s one hooman! However , when I arrived on drop off day .. I had to go through the entire feeding / diet thing again ..& all the questions I had filled out online , were asked again. Meanwhile, I’m trying to control my over anxious / excited pup. Her diet is super important as she has a sensitive tum. One of the items I dropped was a refrigerated food along with her kibble. BOTH had hand written instructions on the bags in addition, I’ve already done the intake now, 2x. On pick up , I asked for ‘the rest of my dogs stuff ‘ and got the refrigerated food back;it was almost full & the bag was open. I questioned that of the check in person immediately.. she said we could ask the trainer. The trainer said the refrigerated food was to ‘be used as a topper’; to which I said ,’ no , this was her food that came with the instructions I filled out’.She shrugged. I then asked her how much training our pup got .. as we only received one report card this time & we we’re charged for 3 sessions during her stay this time .. The girl again, shrugged me off & said she could check the board. She didn’t. I left pretty irritated between the food & not knowing what our pup had done while at boarding and the attitude of a place we have loved really aggravated me. It’s not inexpensive to board or train a pup/dog and when you leave them in the care of another I feel it’s of the upmost importance not to be dismissive when you ask a simple question of the stay. So wouldn’t you know;the next morning I got a call stating our pups stuff was at the facility & I could come get it. So this stay, I felt was lacking. It’s not convenient to come get stuff that I asked for when picking up;why was it all not in one place ? Why was our pups food not fed to her as we requested it be ? Why didn’t we get 3 report cards for 3 sessions or at least advised as to what she did while there since we were charged for it? And .. IF the girl who handed my pup off to me on pick up day didn’t know the answers .. she could have been friendlier and said , ‘Hey! I’ll find out these answers for you !’ I would still recommend Partner’s-I’ve left a 5 star review for our dogs previous stay on Yelp ;this stay seemed disorganized;Everyone has an off day, I guess! Still a great place!

RB Rachel B. Cave Creek Apr 2022 Google

Luca, who has been looking for his forever home since he was dumped at the county shelter two days before Christmas in 2020. He has also had some bad luck after being saved off of the MCACC e-list due to kennel deterioration, and has been bounced around over a half dozen times since. Unfortunately because of all this he was not able to even be crated safely in one of his foster homes; and he suffered from major anxiety in many situations which comes from his working breed mind not being exercised properly. After one board and train had told us (me & the rescue he is now with called Lucy’s Hope Sancuary & Rescue) that he should be euthanized because he was a lost cause or finding the right person to foster-to-adopt him was and I quote, “Like finding a needle in a haystack.” Also, that he didn’t want to waste his time and the rescue’s money. I was devastated after hearing this, and I got Partners’ name from another rescue group who told me Partners is the best in the business. I called Partners and spoke to Jessica who was so understanding and incredible. She listen to my whole story and me crying my eyes out about Luca who I know is really a misunderstood, good dog who has not had a great life in his 5-6yrs he has been alive. Jessica told me she would call me back after she spoke to Noa, the senior trainer about Luca’s needs. She called me back right when she said she would, and gave me pricing with the breakdown of all the options and details. I didn’t realize “camp” meant board and train, so after I realized that I scheduled our consultation with Noa. Noa was also very professional and said she’d take him that very same day. I was shocked they were able to get him in that same day as others had quoted us months later to start. Anyways, it took about two weeks until Noa and Megan (trainer manager) really had a huge breakthrough with Luca. I was so impressed at how right on they learned to really understand Luca where sooooo many people had really misunderstood him and his issues. Noa and Megan basically worked miracles on this dog and I cannot believe at how well he listens to my commands now! He can be safely crated now, which was the rescue’s biggest concern if he were to ever go back into a foster or adopter’s home to make sure he doesn’t start taking control of the house. My overall experience has been nothing but positive and so supporting to a situation that less then 2 months ago seemed hopeless! The price is steep, but they were able to accomplish what many were not able over months time. Without Partners Luca would maybe not be alive right now, so I am eternally grateful to them and their services. If anyone is having doubts…spend the money because it’s worth it! In the photos Luca is showing you some of the commands he learned to do with no hesitation…sit, down and place. The last photo is him graduating the behavior camp program 😃🙌🏼😍 #teamluca #thankyoupartnersdogtraining

We have a very intelligent doberman who loves to work, learn and most of all please. We didn’t understand why she wouldn’t walk obediently next to us. We needed training for that issue and Sam knew exactly what and how to do it and more importantly, how to teach us! We really liked her personally, along with her sensitive, relaxed and patient methodology. She readily realized that we were giving our dog unclear commands and mixed messages that left her confused about what she was supposed to do! She simply told us the words to use and she (dog) responded immediately! We couldn’t be more grateful to Sam and Partners dog training. One lesson was all it took, and Gracie, (dog) and we, couldn’t be more pleased.

My wife and I love Partners Dog Training. Each handler knows every dog and also knows them by name. They show professionalism every step of the way. Our favorite component when our Max was at his 3 week camp was the daily report cards we received. Sometimes the trainers even sent videos or pictures of our Max. This place is well worth the money. You can also tell each trainer loves the job they do and is very patient. We recommend Partners to everyone.

Had to put our 10 month old Lab there for two weeks of training, while our 4 year old Doberman recovered from an injury. Our Leo came back with a much better understanding of basic commands we’d previously started with at home and a much greater respect for the word No! Parent pet classes have also helped me understand the order of commands, use of no, resets, etc. Much to still learn on my part, but I feel like I have a much better primed pup to work with!

Great experience. Thank you for all being so great and profession with my Rottweiler, Bear. Already referred a couple people. My dog and I have both learned a lot and he’s improved so much!

My experience with Partners Dog Training was the absolute best. Their newest facility in Scottsdale is perfect for hosting dogs in this heat. I have a very big, sweet puppy who needed to learn puppy basics and how to follow rules - even when he didn’t really want to. Hannah was fantastic at training him - and me - how to work together in a positive way. We’ll be returning for the follow up classes to reinforce the good behavior, and for daycare in the future as well.

GR Giovana R. Cave Creek Apr 2022 Google

Since my first phone call with Partners, everyone has been very friendly and assured me that our Zoey would be in good hands. When we dropped her off for her first day I instantly felt at ease with the way the staff greeted us and her. Picking her up after a day of play, Zoey was calm and tired so I could tell she had a great time. Can’t wait to bring her back for more!

I love Partners. My dogs behavior is much improved since we started there. The daycare with training has worked out so well for us. my dog can’t wait to get out of the car when we get there. We do the day care and add training to it. Get very good detailed report cards to work on those behaviors at home. This is all good, right? The best thing about partners is the staff, hands down, the best...always nice, friendly, professional, and they take great care of our dogs.❤️

TR Taylor R. Cave Creek Apr 2022 Google

Partners is great! We have a problematic dog that does amazing there! Toby loves going to training classes and doggy daycare. Without Partners Toby would be a completely different dog. My only complaint is that when boarding they do not offer a Sunday pickup. Many people vacation Saturday to Saturday and no Sunday pickup means that dogs have to stay until Monday.

Taytum and Meghan and the rest of the staff did a great job at setting her ground work and I can't wait to continue her training at home and be able to show Partners and team her training progress at home! I would 100% recommend them!

Well run , the trainers treat the dogs well and with a love of individual love. Our dog, Chewbacca, was Trained primarily by Sierra. When we picked him up I think he wanted to stay with her……. Sierra did a wonderful job with our dog….. The other trainers as well. Received reports and pictures daily which helped with our missing him. In essence, they were a great choice and were recommended by many of our friends. Five ⭐️

She loves all the trainers, literally is so excited to them when we get there, and she plays all day with the other dogs. Each dog is evaluated before they are approved for doggie daycare and there are multiple trainers all day, so you can be confident that your dog is in good hands. I recommend this place to everyone I talk to. I can’t say enough good things about the staff and my dog always comes home happy, worn out and ready to go back! Thank you, Partners!

First day for my pups my 14 yr old small dog and 9 yr old medium dog.

All positive comments. School is run professionally by a knowledgeable front desk and an excellent cadre of trainers.

We just finished up a level 1 class with our dog, and are a couple weeks into level 2, and we have seen amazing changes in our dog! The classes have done a great job of teaching us how to train and handle our dog correctly and it’s really working well! Before the classes she would try to chase anything in sight and I just got in from walking her and she didn’t chase a single thing! We have previously done training classes at Petco, and it wasn’t bad, but the classes at Partners have provided so much more knowledge for us as owners to be able to better train our dog. Would highly recommend!

Meghan is incredible! We have a love bug who can be reactive to dogs outside our family. We had a private trainer in the past and were even considering putting him in the three week board/train program. After just a few private lessons with Meghan we are already seeing great results. The time with her shows us how best to work with our dog, how to support him consistently, and what we are doing wrong and how to fix it. There are always a lot of dogs there, which is great for working on reactivity. But at the same time, it doesn't feel "swamped" and there are plenty of areas to work one-on-one as well.

KR Kelsey R. Cave Creek Dec 2021 Y Yelp

You can't find a better place to board or train your dog. Every time we've brought Cashmere she's been well taken care of and has played with other dogs (which is a minor miracle and doesn't happen anywhere else). When she had a cough during a long stay they took her to the vet to make sure she was okay and kept up updated every step of the way. We love getting Report Cards while we're away! We can relax knowing she's in great hands.

GQ Georgeen Q. Cave Creek Dec 2021 Y Yelp

If you're wondering about training your dog or boarding him look no further. I've inquired and researched many places and narrowed it down to 3 places and Partners being one of them. What sold me was the report card and pictures or videos they would update us with progress. I absolutely love technology and communication through various channels. My partner and I work all day so it's so hard to get us on a phone call while at work. I have a 4 1/2 year old Siberian Husky who is dog & human reactive along with fearfulness and aggressive behaviors towards dogs. Finding the right training program felt like finding the right school/daycare for a first born child. It was more because we were so worried he would hurt another dog or he would be rejected from the training program. It all came down to US, as a dog owner we we're definitely holding him back. He started the 3 week behavioral camp and are excited for his progress. We know there is no magic pill and it always comes down to us and consistency but this is an amazing start! We see the progress in just few days. Noa & the entire team at Partners are doing an amazing job so far on our pup. I literally cry reading the report cards and seeing his tail wag in the videos. My heart is so at ease knowing he's progressing. The first 2 days tested me and I used every will power not to pick him up and just call it quits and throw money down the drain. Seeing his progress let's me know we made the best decision after using other trainers. If your dog is like family or if you really want the best for your dog don't hesitate!! Everyone that knows me, knows I love my dog more than any human. Thank you Noa, Anita, Karla, Andy and Team for everything you all do and for your patience and kindness to our pup!!! Especially the lovely lady Sam who gave him kisses!!!

EF E F. Cave Creek Nov 2021 Y Yelp

11/09/21 (about 6 weeks out from avoidance training) - updating my review from 4 stars to 5. I had a rattlesnake in my yard today. I captured it and placed it in an enclosure and took both of my dogs around the enclosure. The snake was rattling at the time. Neither dog would go near the enclosure - success! I then relocated the snake out of my yard, but in the process had to set it down within the dog run to avoid dropping it (perhaps a mistake to do on my part). Now, 2 hours later, when the dogs go out in the dog run they smell around the area where I put the snake down and are very skittish in that section of the dog run. I have to say, I was skeptical that the training actually worked, based on the short amount of time the training took place. I've turned into a believer now, although I still think the price is high.

KV Kimberly V. Cave Creek Jun 2021 Y Yelp

Let's face it.. when you get a pup or a dog or any kind of furry friend , it's a part of your family or it should be! No matter how they join your family , they need guidance and 'molding' just like a child , if you will. IF you don't teach them basics , like manners or how to act, then much like a child that has no guidance, they will go DOG wild , ( you see what I did there ?) . My husband & I waited literal years to replace our dogs that had crossed to the rainbow bridge years ago because of our busy travel schedules , however we were keeping our eyes open for the PURfect pup to join our family. The timing was a little chaotic while buying a new home in a new area but since I was no longer traveling so much for work our Truffle joined our family as a little 8 week old girl from the east! We were recommended to Partner's Dog Training through one of our good friends. Truffle had already had her basic puppy obedience classes coupled with some private home lessons and we LOVED that trainer.. BUT, we are dealing with a Bernedoodle; she is a wicked smart girl. That training we had was super treato reward motivated. Great; BUT, Miss Truffle had learned that she didn't need to stay in 'place' after her treatos were gone ... or let's say to appease us .. two minutes past in puppy minutes. She would bark at us when we kept her out of the formal parts of our home; something that we started from the moment she came home at 8 weeks BUT now at 14 weeks, it was lost as she thought she was going to run our home. Even having had a stubborn Briard, I had not seen this behavior. Enter our friends, Michael & Tina .. who raved about this place & their pups trainer, Karli. I spoke with our vet at Pima North because being the helicopter MAWM that I am, just because a friend says to send our pup away for a few weeks doesn't mean I trust doing it. Dr. Walker loves this place too. I interviewed Anita at Partners with a phone call where our questions were answered. We set up a visit to the Cave Creek location and were sold. My husband & I were going out of the country for a 9 day trip we had planned with friends anyway PRE- COVID/ PRE- PUPPER & were going to board her somewhere else that was going to cost about $40 less per day JUST for the boarding than doing a board / train here at Partner's. Initially we thought we may have to leave Truffle for 3 weeks but she did so well, we did two weeks of board / train. We spent an hour at pick up watching and learning how to adapt to our newly trained pup. We are part of the problem, after all! We need to be trained too! While we were gone , ( and yes , my daughter & I cried at drop off day; especially when we couldn't leave her 'anxiety pup' or our college T she sleeps with that has our smell!!! YES. We have issues !!) ; but we got daily 'report cards' on her progress or things that needed work; at times that needed pictures or videos of our sweet fluffer so we didn't feel so lost without her! Her transition home has been a little tricky! BUT we are learning. She doesn't rule the home ; we rule. She's a changed pup. No barking ; a perfect walk on her lead; the mouthing is still there a tiny bit , but now we know the proper correction, without a bag full of treatos ! She has not come near our brand new couch in the 'allowed' room and stays in her 'place' ! She is calmer and we adore this pupper even more than we did ! Next up, we hope for her CGC cert. Partner's also offers daycare; boarding ; swim lessons; and rattlesnake aversion , a must if you live in this area. I can't rave enough about Karli ; she definitely handled our pup like her own and trained her so well! She answered an email I had re feeding as soon as we left with our newly graduated pup. I know we have more training , like the 4 classes that come with the board / train package & rattlesnake aversion. This is a new canine family to us & we are so happy we found them!

TH Tena H. Cave Creek Jun 2021 Y Yelp

I found partners dog training school while desperately searching for an answer to our new puppy. Like many during Covid, we decided we would get a puppy. Shortly there after, I was diagnosed with a pretty severe illness. There was no way I could care for my kids and a puppy. We called several places and no one could get us in. Partners had someone wonderful answer the phone, we were able to get him in within a couple weeks which turned out to be perfect timing for when I would have to be admitted to the hospital. I ended up being in the hospital for three weeks, Milo ended up being at school for three weeks. When they went to partners, my two little boys were introduced to Sam. Sam would become Milo's best friend. We got report cards every night about how Milo was doing. It was my youngest son's favorite part of the day to see a video or a report card on how his puppy was doing. They all got to go get trained with Milo twice during that time. When I got out of the hospital I didn't recognize him! He didn't jump on me anymore and was going to his bed, his crate, healing, sitting, the list goes on! Since then, Sam has followed up with us personally. We even played a video of the training so we could work on things at home, and Milo's ears perked straight up because he heard her voice! He is still a puppy, but we have eight group training lessons ahead of us. He has become my best friend. Christopher is an excellent businessman, and your dog will be well cared for at Partners. I highly recommend

Took my dog to Snake Avoidance class their. It was about a 15 minute class. Very well organized, they explained how it works, which is great. They use an e-collar for training, it did not hurt him. I'm hopeful that my dog, Sully will be on the alert when we go for our walks. They do recommend a 6 month refresher. We'll be back!

We took our 14lb Klee Kai here for rattlesnake training. The staff were extremely nice and pleasant to work with. We arrived 30 minutes early for our appointment and they got us in right away. I am leaving a 4 star review because I felt that the training was not thorough enough. Our dog is very stubborn and didn't take to the training as well as other dogs may have. As I know this is not the staffs fault, I would have appreciated more hands on time to make sure he was trained completely. Overall it was a good experience, but we are undecided if we will use a different company or this company again for a refresher in 6 months.

Took both my Auggie and Aja today for their second rattlesnake avoidance training. I am impressed with how the training went. So I stayed a few more minutes to find out what else was offered and I know I will be a repeat client for snake avoidance but I may also be trying a few other trainings that are offered. Everyone was wonderful to work with and they were very patient with me and the dogs. Thank you much for doing this training for all of us!!!!

I’m really curious where my dog went that I dropped off, because this little guy after 3 weeks with Hannah is completely different and absolutely amazing. Don’t get me wrong, Blue was pretty awesome before behavior camp, but now he’s an absolute dream! The difference is night and day. We were a little afraid of Blues aggression towards other dogs and not listening. I’ve had a problem pitty in the past and our little guy was starting to show parallel traits. Things like lack of listening, barking, unruly on a leash, and dog aggression....all of that’s gone. 1000% recommend Partners for your pups. Hannah especially. She did a great job with our little guy and we’re so happy to have this well behaved little guy home. Seriously, thank you folks for helping little Blue

This was our second time visiting to get better and be more aware of what is out on the trails. We go out at least once a week in the desert. In this program, both my dogs made progress from the first time in recognizing the situation and avoiding it. I always recommend a refresher as well! It's like anything else that isn't practiced, there won't be much of a foundation without refreshers.

We took our first dog to Partners for snake avoidance training and loved the value, staff and process so much that we took our new dog there for his snake training. The place cannot be beat for dog training. The staff are all wonderful dog handlers and very very professional. Jenn S. was phenomenal in addition to the snake and course trainers. They care for your pup just as much as you do! We will be back for the 8 week doggy behavior school very soon. 5 out 5 stars, and highly recommend.

We completed the snake avoidance training last spring 2019 for our black lab Cinco. It didn’t seem to take for her because a week later we ran into a rattle snake and she walked right up to it. Partners was great and we brought Cinco back. We didn’t see a snake until the fall. I can tell you Cinco jumped and cowered away with her tail between her legs. She refused to go down that trail path even after the snake left. Fine with us. Then today in our neighborhood walk we came across a dead snake on the road and she did the same avoidance behavior. I love that she does not want to be near snakes. Thank you Partners!

We got Kash (3 year old Boxer) a little over a month ago, and every day seemed to be worst than the last. From leash pulling to barking, and even separation anxiety, Kash was testing my every nerve. Hannah and others at Partners Dog Training came and showed me that it was not about dominating your dog, but leading them. Through just a few verbal and visual cues I am able to help Kash understand that he does not have to be the leader, and that I will take care of him. Now he is happy to sit back, relax, and let me take the reins. He is an absolute gem on walks now.

I took my beloved Frenchie Coco here to learn how to behave like a good girl.... Coco was piddling in the house, running out the front door down the middle of the street, and just basically ignoring me. In 2 weeks I could not believe how well behaved my little girl was!!! There was such a huge change I agreed to leave her for an additional week! I pick her up in a few days and I am very excited to have my well behaved baby back! I would HIGHLY recommend Partners in Dog Training, Megan was my trainer and she is professional, knowledgeable, and truly has a passion for the work she does!!

And, most importantly, FUN! 😊 Fun for both of us both on field and off, it has been a great relationship builder between Ashara (my puppy) and I. Thank You Animal Partners for your excellent, patient, loving, and fun trainers; and for helping Ashara and I to become delightful “Partners” both on and off the training field!

My English Bull Terrier, Chaos, lived up to his name when it came to aggression toward other animals and people as well. He also needed some help learning to walk on a leash without trying to win a race. I decided to enroll him in the Obedience Training Camp at Partners Dog Training School in Cave Creek and couldn't be more pleased with the dog he came home as! Chaos and I now enjoy walking together instead of the constant leash pull it used to be and he no longer tries to eat everyone and anything he comes in contact with. I am so pleased with the personal and friendly care we both got during his training. His main trainer took the time to make sure we understood what she and the other trainers were teaching Chaos and how he would be trained as well as the equipment used. We received daily report cards and an occasional picture during the 3 weeks he stayed at camp which made it easier since we missed him terribly!! And we received training with him as well so we could continue with him when we got home. We highly recommend and can't say enough about all they do for the dogs and families. It's very obvious the love the trainers have for what they do and most importantly for the dogs!

KC Katie C. Cave Creek Apr 2021 Google

Baxter really enjoyed his time at Partners, He loved everyone who works there. The trainers are so kind and really care, especially Sara she was so great with him. I was nervous to send my baby away for 2 weeks but it was so worth it. He came home with better manners and over all was just a calmer more reasonable pup.

Partners is an AMAZING place to take your dog, whether you are looking for a place to board your dog that is safe, fun and engaging, or looking for a dedicated group of people who will help your dog with any behaviors they may need guidance or reassurance with, or if you yourself need assistance working with your dog. In the short amount of time I spent with them I learned so much on how to better not only my dogs health, wellness and confidence, but mine as well. Both me and my baby girl came back much more confident and happily tired after our fun and exciting training sessions, led by Leighton and his amazing staff. Never once did i leave unfulfilled, and i always felt welcome by all staff. Truly an influential and life changing experience!

This is our second dog we have had trained at Partners. Seven years we had an English Bulldog trained at Partners. We were thrilled with the results. Needless to say we went into this training session with very high expectations and we were not disappointed! Our little Mini Aussie, is a different dog. Partners showed us how to harness her energy and work within the characteristics of the breed. We are now set for life to have a well trained, well behaved dog...PRICELESS!!

My dog Sadie started at Partners Dog Training School at the age of 5 mo old. She started with a training indoors camp. This camp is the best I could ever imagine with the neatest facility for the dogs to stay and be trained, and daily individual programs. What I like and appreciate is the way all the trainers are sending me the report cards with Sadie’s progress. My puppy learned a lot from her 2 weeks training. She came home with a great understanding of her basic obedience commands. Now we continue practicing them at home. My puppy is attending review classes at Partners, where Sadie is practicing those commands with other dogs and owners present. During those group classes the trainers are watching us, detect our difficulties and challenges and run to help out. I am so grateful. We will continue the group training until we could qualify for a higher category training. Thank you, Partners!

Classes in Obedience, Agility and more. Well maintained very large areas for training. Huge daycare facility and recently started a school bus to pick up dogs for daycare. And rattlesnake avoidance training!

He has a great time, loves playing in the pools and with the other dogs. He always comes home relaxed and ready to rest. The staff are great, enthusiastic and take lots of pics and send me a report card with notes about Zains activities and emotional state during his stay-like playful, friendly, mischievous, shy etc. 😊 I love the video’s especially, witnessing him having fun! I definitely recommend leaving your pup at Partners, daycare center!

AU Anthea U. Cave Creek Apr 2021 Google

This was by far the BEST decision I’ve ever made! Sending my 6 month old (cattle dog) “Cosmo” to training here. Before, I had absolutely no clue about how to train a dog, let alone a puppy, as I’ve always had cats. (Aloof little buggers). Cosmo came into my life by accident. He was being treated abhorrently by a guy and I rescued him. Greatest thing ever as he is amazing and such a love bug!!! However, I allowed him to pull me around whilst walking, he would jump up at everyone and was very rambunctious! He would never come when called and refused to listen to my requests. However, after training, he is like a completely new puppy!!!! He sits by my side when I ask, he walks beautifully on his leash, he doesn’t jump AT ALL and lets people come over to him and pet him without me telling him to settle down. I was almost in tears this morning when we went out for our morning walk. I left him off leash, and every time I called him to come back to me, he came and sat right next to me!!! Yes, I had some great treats in my pocket which he wanted, but he came back!!!!!! I am so grateful and super thrilled with everyone who works at Partners! Especially Sam! She was incredibly patient but strict with Cosmo and you could tell that he loved her! So do I now!!! Partners is the ONLY place that I will ever recommend for training your dog to be the best he can be and it’s the best money I’ve EVER spent in my entire life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with Cosmo! You guys ROCK!!!!

I can't begin to thank the staff enough at Partners Dog Training School! My husband and I felt so defeated and powerless against our 13 pound Shih-Tzu...That sounds completely crazy and ridiculous, but that dog ran this household. I had no idea what to expect from this. This was an investment but it's something that we have needed to do for a long time. From the minute I talked with Anita she was very welcoming and got us in right away for an evaluation. Once we got there we went over some things and then we met with one of the trainers, Noa. Noa took so much time to listen to us and to find out exactly what the issues were and what we wanted to accomplish with this training. Our biggest thing was our dog biting/attacking people when he didn't get his way. I honestly thought he was a lost cause because he is already 7 years old. We absolutely love our dog and this was our last possible resort. In actuality we should have started here! Bear stayed for 4 weeks. During the 2nd and 3rd week we got to go in and talk with Noa so she could update us on Bear's progress and then we could actually see his training in action. I was completely BLOWN AWAY! I didn't think it was the same dog. I actually cried a little because I was so relieved. I have NEVER seen my dog do the things that he was doing. The next few weeks he just kept improving. They would send us a few report cards a week and sometimes included photos/videos. I thought Bear would be depressed being there, but he absolutely loved it and loved all of his new staff girlfriends! Partners honestly gave my husband and I our dog back. We could not be happier with the results. Now that we are done with the boarding/training, we get to start our pet parent classes every Saturday morning. I love that we get to continue to work with the staff and further Bear's training! Partners gave not only Bear the tools, but gave us the tools to have a happy and successful relationship with our dog! Thank you 100 times over for the amazing work you guys do and a HUGE thanks to Bear's trainer Noa as well as the rest of the staff. You guys are phenomenal and have really changed our lives!

I took my puppy to Partners to give me a head start on training my puppy. I signed up for the two week training stay in hopes it would save some of my time. My first two puppies I trained them from the start it took many group classes for both of them, for years. My puppy now isn't where my first two dogs were after all that training. I think with a couple more years of group classes my pup will be as well behaved or better as my first two pups. It was a great investment. A great way to have a head start on your puppies training. I would definitely do it again when I get another puppy!

I have an English Bull Terrier who had aggression issues before sending him to Partners Dog Training Camp. Having him stay there was the longest 3 weeks but soooo worth it! He came home so well behaved and has only had a couple forgetful moments but when gently reminded he remembered his training and that was that, no aggressive dog. I highly recommend this school! Not only are they a good place for great results but the trainers really do form bonds and care about these dogs. I will not hesitate to bring another dog to them for training if ever I am in need.

Living in the Wild Wild West means making sure our pup avoids the dangerous critters. Piper had her Rattlesnake Avoidance refresher this morning and she did great! It has been a year since she did her first Rattlesnake Avoidance training at Partners. She wanted nothing to to with the first snake and only needed a little correction when she got a tad bit curious with the second guy who rattled. The staff is so friendly and wonderful with each dog. They take the time to ask the pertinent questions before training and make sure your dog is as comfortable as possible before training begins. It's quick and effective. I now feel much more at ease with her during snake season because they are definitely out there.

The process was efficient and their feedback very helpful....turns out Ozzy has a great nose ! I feel much more comfortable with walking him early in the morning. Thanks for the great work.

Last summer, we took out Weimaraner to Partners Dog Training for the 3 week training and Rattlesnake Avoidance training. We brought her in for the refresher course last week.

I think this training is important for everyone in Arizona with dogs.

We had a great experience taking our dog for her first rattlesnake avoidance training. The facility was very busy when we arrived. They were well organized and gave us clear direction and communication about what would happen. Our dog trainer / handler was very friendly and kind to our dog. The whole process to teach our dog about the snakes only took about ten minutes. They have other services such as dog behavior training, agility training and swimming lessons. We were advised to return in 6 months for a refresher since this was our dog's first time. The cost for this training was reasonable for the service provided. It was also easy to schedule and pay through the website.

RV Ramona V. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

We rarely board our dogs but use a sitter that stays at our home. We were anxious about boarding Lexi and Rambo. Lexi is somewhat dog reactive — Rambo is insecure and reactive to some people. We decided to add basic training each day to our 7 days of boarding for both dogs; plus we added the refresher for rattle snake avoidance. (Our dogs had been with partners for previous snake training.) The daily “report cards” we received for each dog kept us up to date on their daily activities and we were thrilled to see those arrive in our email each day. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip. The dogs were freshly bathed and happy to see us when we picked them up!

Hendrix LOVES visiting his extended family at Partners! I love that he can blow off some pent up energy playing with his friends in a controlled setting in doggie daycare. It's a big plus having the option to have a trainer work with him while there too. The trainers are all awesome- it's tough some days but they always do such a great job.

Scarlett and I have been attending weekly since she was 16 weeks, now at 10 months, we are both feeling confident and ready for level three! We have been in contact with most trainers and LOVE them all! Thank you to Emily, Megan, Melissa, Fancy and Anita! We appreciate you so much! Looking forward to our next class!

LM Lisa M. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

i have taken jax, my jack russell mix, to both the beginning & intermediate classes and loved them both! the teachers really understand the canine brain so the class is really about training US to know HOW TO TRAIN OUR DOGS EFFECTIVELY.. no more yelling, yanking on leashes, frustration in taking jax outside!! i learned how to communicate in a language MY DOG understands.. when jax understands what is expected of him he behaves.. the biggest learning curve was mine, not jax! with instructions from the teachers and the pinch collar jax became a calmer and well behaved dog.. not the crazy, out of control nut case hes always been! disclaimer: like all classes the more important aspect of dog training is consistent, at home reinforcement of things learned during class.. the once a week class doesnt work miracles.. it just gave me the tools to keep using with jax every day.. 👍👍

The staff at Partners Dog Training School is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The daily report cards, informative emails and the follow up after transitioning home we’re all very helpful in helping us do our part at home. After 2 weeks, our 6 month old German Shepherd came home we were so amazed and pleased with what she learned. I HIGHLY recommend Partners Dog Training School for anyone considering training.

We have been enormous fans of Partners and their team for almost 5 years. We have used them for training, boarding, and weekly playgroups, all of which have been remarkably successful. They are constantly adding to their programs, and improving the facility. We love the entire staff, and have no hesitation at all in recommending Partners.

We were crazy and rescued two puppies while having a 1 year old and another on the way. We researched and found partners to take our puppies for a 2 week boot camp and we couldnt be more pleased. They are still puppies but they are great with the my kids and they understand the basic, and very neccessary, commands. Partners always checks in and makes sure everything is going ok and we can't wait to sign them up for some doggy day care!

If you live in the valley and love your dogs, this training is a must! Earlier this spring I had all three of my terrier dogs trained for rattle snake avoidance. On Monday afternoon I received a text msg asking that I leave feedback. That same night we found a rattler in our backyard. And I am VERY happy to report that the two dogs that were out there, really avoided that snake. They are both alive and healthy today thanks to the training they received at Partners Dog Training School!

D’Artagnan’s first Agility lesson was so much fun. Looking forward to the entire program. 🎯 Dart (Border Terrier) had a blast.

LL Lee L. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

This is a very good dog training facility. My dog came out much more disciplined and I was much more knowledgeable about how to be his trainer. The employees are great: very experienced, skilled and knowledgeable. The boot camp is not inexpensive. Also, the approach to training the dogs is both physical and emotional with both negative and positive consequences. It takes a bit of time to get used to this approach but it is beneficial without much discomfort to the dogs.

KK Kim K. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

Outstanding experience for my 6 month old pup Henry! The progress they made in the first week alone was amazing! Received daily reports which were wonderful to get. The trainers are professional and clearly cared for him. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Looking forward to the upcoming group training on Saturdays!

I took my dog Rex to the behavioral camp because he was so reactive with dogs. He worked mostly with Megan but also with other trainers and it is amazing how much he learned and how responsive he is now to commands. I am continuing my training with the parenting classes but I am very pleased with the difference from when I took him in to now. I would highly recommend Partners and have done so already with several friend who are having various issues with their dogs.

LB Lynne B. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

I would highly recommend Partners. For what we took our Frenchie there for, I feel the trainers, especially Hannah, addressed well. We definitely will need to work with him at home, as advised, and come to the follow-up classes for further reinforcement. I love the fact that WE get educated, too. It's an ongoing process that the 3 week boot camp started and we will have to keep working on to finish. We have seen amazing change!! But, it is now up to US to KEEP that change. Partners has ingrained that in our brains that we must keep working with our pup so that he learns from US what he learned there. Our pup came home last night and we have already done our training sessions this morning. We will stay on schedule! I'm looking forward to our 1st meeting next week with our trainer to see our progress. Please give Partners a try - they work, as long as you do, too! We love Hannah! 5 stars!

CJ Cheri J. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

I have taken my little Chihuahua to Partners Dog Training two different times for Rattlesnake Aversion training. It makes me feel more confident that she will turn away from a snake should she happen upon one. The people were awesome with her and I plan to take her again as I really feel she is worth it. I went to a different place in California and I felt like I just handed them my money and got nothing in return.

DB Dar B. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

Wonderful trainers that have patience with both my dog & me. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants to enjoy a well trained pup. It's so nice to go for a walk and not be dragged along. We started with Bootcamp and we're now beginning Level 2. He's doing so well, I think we'll try for him to become a therapy dog. Thanks Cara & Partners!!

We had our puppy trained for snake aversion for the first time with Partners. So far, so good! We haven't had any direct contact with snakes, but given that we live on an acre, I'm gone at work 12-14 hours several days a week & he uses a doggy door... it's hard to imagine he hasn't had an interaction.

I have taken two dogs to be trained by the partners staff. They were enrolled in the two week training program. They also offer several free classes following so owners can learn how to better handle their newly trained dogs. It made a world of difference in their behavior and bad habits.

Our girl Betty was an over excited loud mouth hound before her training 21 day behavior camp. We have had her home for almost a week and she is the new and improved version. She is so easy to get settled down now, and just 1 word correction for her barking which is almost none compared to before. We know there is still work to be done, and with all the follow up we get to have in the program, we feel like the reinforcement is going to be so effective and long term full solution for her prior behavior issues.

I recently enrolled my dog in the behavior camp at Partners Dog Training. I was so impressed with the training that he received while he was there. I was also very pleased to see how happy he was while staying there. He actually seemed to really enjoy the training and it was obvious that he really liked his trainer and the other staff members. The challenge that I was having with my dog was that he was possessive over me and would sometimes react to other people approaching me. I was skeptical that the trainers could duplicate this behavior while he was at camp, but they were persistent about placing him in situations that might trigger this behavior. Sure enough he became possessive over his trainer, which allowed her to correct and work on managing this behavior. Wow... what a benefit this will be to me at home! My dog was also extremely crate avoidant which limited my ability to confine him at home. After only a few days with Emily, he was a master at going into his crate! This is a real game changer for me! I am really thankful for Partners help with my dog and teaching me how to handle these situations. Also, all of the staff members that I interacted with were so friendly and helpful!

WT William T. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

I found the Snake Training to be very educational and interesting to see how its done ... The Trainer explained every step of the process in detail and told us what to watch for as the dog was directed by his handler ... My dog has never been worked with an E collar before so it was a shocking experience for him also ... The dog appeared to respond well and it was obvious he did not want to venture closer to the cages with the snakes in them after he got shocked (stim from the E collar) the first time ... I would highly recommend this training living in this area of the country where Rattle snakes are so plentiful ... The Staff was very efficient and knew what they were doing ...

MM Mathew M. Cave Creek Apr 2020 Google

Awesome. Didn't know rattlesnake training was a thing. Three days later, I swear my shepard body checked me away from a spot while hiking. He never runs into me like that. Those trainers are troopers, *literally* walking through the desert all day long.

KW Kevin W. Cave Creek Mar 2020 Y Yelp

We are new to Arizona, and rattlesnake avoidance training was on the top of the list for our dog, Sheldon. Sheldon is scent driven, prefers to do his business after completely investigating where he is going to 'go', and we were fearful of the potential outcome without training. The staff at Partners was very friendly and explained what the process was. At first Sheldon was not at all cooperative with the handler in spite of her calm approach, but we managed to hand him off. The scent and sound training took about 5 minutes, he figured it out quickly, and we feel more confident that our dog will be able to avoid trouble before trouble finds him. Thank you, Partners, for providing this training. We will be back for a refresher in 6 months!

MA Marlo A. Cave Creek Feb 2020 Y Yelp

I took my 12 month old puppy, Koa, to the snake avoidance training this company offers. At first I was hesitant and I didn't know what to expect but I was very surprised at how well I was greeted and the training my puppy received. The training took less than 5 min and the prep time was about 10 min. There is a waiting area where people can sit and wait or go with their canines. I chose to go with koa. Chris the training explained everything to me and gave me instant feedback regarding the training. On my way home I received an email within 15-20 min of leaving the training of the feedback for how koa did and a reminder for the recommended refresher training. I highly recommend partners dog training.

Thank you for changing my puppy from a Heathen to Heath Ledger. Thank you Hannah and the other trainers who were involved . I love my new puppy's Sheila and Bill Tempel.

EH Elise H. Cave Creek Aug 2019 Y Yelp

I was really impressed with how well our 7 year old dog responded to the training Partners implemented. We've allowed Gibbs many years of complete freedom with very little discipline and I wholeheartedly expected Gibbs to be untrainable. That was not the case. Our major issues were regaining dominance and walking in the heel position. Two weeks at Partners and I'm seeing a different dog. We've been home 24 hours and Gibbs is responding so well to the commands and I'm eager to see how the next few weeks will go. I won't lie, I was quite overwhelmed at the idea all the bad habits would immediately come back, but it helped we did our first follow-up this morning. I look forward to our next sessions. I anticipate some stubbornness on Gibbs' part in the next few days, but feel confident we can keep up with the discipline Partners and Megan have exercised. I have to say an extra thank you to Megan, since I felt she really listened to the kind of relationship I have and would like to continue with my dogs and wasn't about changing that dynamic, but rather teaching our dogs proper obedience and teaching us humans how to implement commands. Now we're able to have our cuddle time but not allow our dogs to walk all over us. Our other dog is staying another week with Partners, but I know the transition home will go well for him, too, thanks to Partners.

MT My T. Cave Creek Aug 2019 Y Yelp

I've been going to Partners for 2 years. I have a 2.5-year-old Weimaraner, Rarity, that has been boarded for long-term training there, have been snake avoidance trained with two refreshers, been boarded, and gone to daycare regularly. One thing that I can say for sure is that those young women love animals. They work hard and love the dogs that they work with - their commitment to pets gives me confidence and trust that my girl is safe there and that is critical to me as I travel quite a bit. To those that wrote negative reviews about the staff not listening to them and their unfortunate experiences, I've had those moments at Partners. They could use some customer service training. Sometimes, if truth be told, the dogs are treated better than their owners! Honestly though, wouldn't you rather that be the case? I rest easy knowing that those caring for my sweet girl treat her with love and care and boundaries. My girl loves it there and that is what matters to me. There are many young trainers at Partners that are so passionate about what they do - isn't that what counts? Love them!

SR Sara R. Cave Creek Jun 2019 Y Yelp

The compassion and honesty that we experienced at Partners is something that I will never forget. They helped us through an extremely difficult time in our lives while we were struggling with our dog's aggression. They could have easily convinced us to spend thousands of dollars on rehabilitation for our bulldog, but they didn't. They did not care about making money, they cared about me and my family. Just as important is their vast knowledge of canine behavior, I was amazed watching them assess our dog. These trainers really know what they are doing. I am not exaggerating when I say that my experience at Partners reminded me that there are still good people in the world that truly want to help others. I will be forever grateful.

MK Matthew K. Cave Creek Jun 2019 Y Yelp

Took our precious Odin here (our English Bulldog) in 2017 for an evaluation. Our pride and joy for many years, we did our best to give him the best life a pup could have. In his later years, our sweet boy's aggression had worsened to a point that the vets could not decipher. We had tried every intervention - and it was one step forward, two steps back as his aggression worsened. We sought out the help of Partners as a last ditch effort, and after the evaluation - their assessment and honesty helped us accept what we had already known deep inside. His aggression was dangerous in our home and for our newborn daughter. We were all tearful in the room, but we were grateful for their compassion, and that there were no attempts to promise us rehabilitation with spending likely thousands of dollars to keep our sweet boy around for a little while longer. Beautiful facility in North Phoenix, and wonderful, friendly, and honest staff. Greatly appreciated.

DB Darlene B. Cave Creek May 2019 Y Yelp

I usually train my own pups, but Mr. Bean, a 8 mo. old rescued Black Lab, was so strong and hard to handle. He is a complete sweetheart, non aggressive to both human and other critters, but 65 lbs of muscle. I knew I needed help and after doing some research, I chose a 2 week program at Partners. Great choice! Cara was his trainer. Seeing the affection between them was heartwarming. This boy had enough cruelty in his young life and I never wanted him to have more. After a week we got to see him working and was amazed at the progress he made. Yesterday, I got to go pick him up and do our training together. It is an ongoing process. We will go back for a group training session each of the next 4 Thursdays. I feel it's definitely up to me how well he continues to do. They gave him a strong foundation to build on and it's up to me from now on. I will definitely sign up for additional classes in the future. I forgot to mention that he also did snake training. I'll feel much safer going up Thunderbird with him.

We had a very good experience with Partners. They were very informative and when we got the puppy back home she was not perfect, I never expected her to be, but so much better. Much easier to get here attention and she has settled down a lot. Everyone in the household is using the same commands, so to not confuse her and even though we have not had a lot of time to train her she is still doing very well. We are happy with their training of our puppy and the training of us. Thank you, Mark

Before a cross-country camping trip, we wanted to get our dogs rattlesnake trained. Our one dog has killed every gopher snake we've had, so we didn't want to take any chances. I wish I could have taken pictures, but they don't allow it. They take you and your dog to this area where several caged rattlers are kept, and use shock collars to train them. We'll go back for a 'reminder' next year.

Well I decided to give a refreshing course to my dog and went this morning thinking well she won’t remember anything and to my huge surprise she remembered everything and knew not to approached the snakes. It was so incredible I am still in shock. Best place ever. Thank you guys. U r all the bestttttt

Good experience. Pearl is the second dog I’ve taken to the snake avoidance training. They do a great job. My older dog was in the training 4 years ago and has done well when a rattle snake is around. I highly recommend this training.

Partner's took care of my beloved Koko, a 9 month old Dutch Shepherd, for 16 days during the Christmas holiday. Meghan, who goes by Fancy, was Koko's trainer. Fancy did a tremendous job with Koko! Before we dropped Koko off for the training she was fairly well behaved. Yet, she was pushy with the grandkids and other dogs. At times she had a mind of her own. Thus recall was not a sure thing and she would bolt to anything she was more interested in seeing if she felt like it. Bike rides at times were an adrenaline rush on the way to a broken neck. Mine not Koko's. Enter Partners and Fancy the Trainer. I received emails while on vacation in regards to Koko's status and progress. When we picked up Koko Fancy and several of the Partners staff spent 1.5 hours with my wife and me to demonstrate what Koko had learned and to teach us how to keep the progress locked in. All I can say is WOW! Koko is, after the professional training at partners, an awesome smart well behaved dog. She has her commands down pat. Sit, Stay, Leave, Done, Down, Emergency Down, Heal, and come. She is a rock star. Koko is no longer pushy with the grandkids or other dogs. She is even more of a cuddler than before. Very calm and well mannered. Riding a bike to give her a good run is joy. There is zero tugging on the leash. The time and money was extremely well spent. We are signed up for more of the puppy classes. We will do Obidence level 2. We are also signed up for the Foundation Classes for competitive agility course competitions. I highly recommend Partners. Fancy was a great trainer. Kim Mitchell

Partners Dog Training School has provided invaluable one on one training for both my dog and I. Great staff who genuinely love our pets. They recently completed snake avoidance training for my dog so hikes will be a little safer for both of us. Thanks.

If you're looking for trust in training, Partners is for you and your fur-baby. They are passionate about your dog's well-being, training your pup and training the owners. The key component to success is that the owner continues to train with their pup everyday. It's been an awesome experience for my Louise and me!

PK Paul K. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

We have 2 dogs who were trained by Partners for Snake Avoidance. It was done quickly and with no discomfort to our pups. I highly recommend Partners for Snake Avoidance training.

CO Christopher O. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

My dogs love Partners Daycare. The staff truly cares. They make sure there is a 10:1 dog to trainer ratio so there is a ton of attention! And my pups always come home pooped out after a playing! Definitely would recommend.

Trainers are very good with the dogs! And it really works. Will continue to take our dogs back every year for Snake Avoidance Training.

We went to eight sessions with Emily at Partners Dog Training and she is wonderful. She worked with our Bella Rose and today's session just proves how good she is as Bella did almost everything she asked her to do. It is nice to not worry about your dog behaving.

DA Debbie A. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

Have taken every dog in the family to the Snake Avoidance School. Great team there, informative, knowledgeable, compassionate and punctual. Hope my dogs never have to "use" their new skills, but if they do, I believe they are ready!!!! (will return for the 6 month review class, to make sure the puppy remembers)

NG Nikki G. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

They treated Scout very nicely. We will be back for her refresher. If you are interested in Snake Training, I would recommend them.

GS Ginny S. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

Sophie has been going to Daycare at Partners for a couple of years. She LOVES the new All Day Play!!! Plus she still has the option for her 1/2 hour of private training. Kelli's Team is loving, caring and professional. Daycare is not a wild "free for all" as found in most Daycare facilities. Your furry friend is kept safe and disciplined while having fun with her friends. Partners is the best!!!!

They are very good efficient and friendly fare yet always treat my dog and myself with respect. Would recommend them highly.

My puppy Gunner just graduated from his three week training camp today, he is only six months old and he learned so much in his time at partners. They truly love the dogs that they work with and I feel very comfortable with him in their hands. I highly recommend partners for your dog!

CG Charlotte G. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

Our trainer, Emily, was amazing. We took Finn, our 6.5 year old Jack Russell, to Partners. He had real snapping issues when we asked him to do something he did not want to do. Total spoiled brat and the parents fault. He spent 3 weeks in behavior camp. Jack Russells and terriers in general are very hard to train especially an older one set in his ways. Somehow Emily managed to bring him around. He can now heel, sit, stay, quiet, and place. Now it is up to us, the parents, to make sure it all continues to work. We will always go back to Partners for additional training!

JS Julie S. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

We've gone to Partners for 6 years for our annual snake proofing and they never fail to excel. The trainers are very nice and conscious of your dog's quirks/issues, and ensure they pass the test. If they don't pass, they get a redo in a week or do. Haven't had to find out about the results as we have yet to run into a rattlesnake, but it puts my mind more at ease if we would!

CN Claire N. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

Maizie is so much better behaved after the 2 week training at Partners Dog Training. She is able to walk on a leash without pulling and sits on command. She is still rather willful but Malissa at Partners gave us the proper method to correct and work with her. We are looking forward to the 4 Thursdays of group lessons. The 2 weeks really helped a lot with her behavior. C. Nightingale

We have been customers of Partners from the past so it was easy to bring my plott hound Daisy Mae to all day play. The hours work great and the staff is amazing. Daisy came home a happy hound and slept the rest of the day. Lol. Played hard. We love Jen Shelton--she is the best.

KB Karen B. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

If you live in anywhere with a dog in rattlesnake habitat, I highly recommend putting them through the snake avoidance training that is offered through this Partners. We recently had or second did trained, after much success with our first. After training, or first occasionally ran into snakes on trails, and would not approach them at all. She often let us know there was a snake up ahead, before we knew it ourselves. It's a must for dog owners who love their fur babies!

SF Sharon F. Cave Creek Apr 2019 Google

Jazzy started at Partners at 4 months old for obedience and later for snake avoidance. We tell everyone who will listen how great Partners is. Jazzy's breeder recommends Partners to all her new owners. We fully intend to take her back for a snake avoidance refresher when weather gets a little warmer Now at 9 months she is a favorite at the dog park and growing up with good manners until the puppyness gets the upper hand. She is gentle with little and holds her own with big dogs at the dog park. Partners is the best. Try them you will like them.

GS Gigi S. Cave Creek Mar 2019 Y Yelp

Great as always. Annie is our one year old Springer and our 5th pup to receive snake avoidance traing with Partners. Great company and excellent service. I highly recommend anyone with a pup to use this awesome training

DW Debbie W. Cave Creek Mar 2019 Y Yelp

We just came back from our first snake training for our Tibetan Terrier at Partners. They were very helpful in explaining how their process worked. They also were very calm with our dog which helped her be less anxious. Thankfully she's a very quick learner so within five minutes she had it figured out. Between the scent and sound training, it's very effective. We'll be going back in six months for a refresher.

PS Patty S. Cave Creek Dec 2018 Y Yelp

Partners took care of my German shepherd dog while I was away on business and he got twice daily training sessions with Nicole who did a wonderful job. He was so happy and eager working with her when I got back so I know he was well cared for. She definitely has a way with dogs and training them. And she trained me when I got back as to how I should handle him. He's behaving wonderfully. This is a well organized place and very busy!! I would recommend them. I've been boarding and training with them and our dogs over the many years we've been here.

Hi Patty! Thank you so much for your review and support. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your experience with us and Nicole! Best of luck in your future training:)

The entire staff is so friendly and accommodating. I took my pup here for private lessons with Emily and she was amazing. She helped our issue of pulling on the leash and even worked on a few more things with us as well. I highly recommend Emily and Partner's for any training you need for you dog!

Response from Partners Dogs

Thank you so much for your lovely review Melanie! We love Emily and are so happy to see you rocking with her:) Best of luck in training!

MB Melisa B. Cave Creek Oct 2018 Y Yelp

I'm so thrilled with partners! I've taken one of my dogs here a few times - level 1/2 obedience and most recently he stayed for 21 days at behavior camp. He had a lot of problems with fear aggression and territorial problems. Emily was his trainer and, though I was hesitant to drop my baby boy off for so long, I'm so happy I did. He is coping very well, learning good practices and his obedience is stronger than ever. Through continued lessons I'm happy that he & I will both feel comfortable going out and adventuring together. I was able to see how well all employees knew Luke, and he loved all of them, so I know he was well cared for and given lots of ear scratches and belly rubs!

Response from Partners Dogs

Thanks so much for the kind words Melisa! We really appreciate your support and love having your pup here. Good luck in your future training!

WG Warren G. Cave Creek Jul 2018 Y Yelp

We have three Australian Shepherds, Snoopy, Peanut (two of which are brothers which are almost two years old, and the third is the mom (Dee Dee, who's 6 years old). We decided to sign both of the puppies up for extensive training while we were gone on vacation for two weeks. As it turns out, one puppy ended up staying for three weeks and the other was there for four weeks. These are our kids, so we felt like we had to make an investment in getting them better trained. All of the staff there are great! From Megan who helps you get checked in and keeps in communication with you while they are being boarded and trained, to Melissa our trainer, Kalie and Kelly. They have been so understanding and patient with us as we realize that 1/2 of the job is training us the proper ways to teach our dogs obedience and show them that we're in control and not the dogs. Peanut and Snoopy love working with Melissa and have learned so much from her. We still have a long road ahead of us, but Partners Dog Training School established a great foundation with the puppies and with our follow up classes will help us learn how to better manage our dogs. I would highly recommend Partners Dog Training School and looking forward to continuing to work with them as they help us train our kids.

Excellent customer service. My Hank came back a new boy. Trainers and owners truly care for every dog and every owner. Extremely knowledgeable and everyone plays a role. I would recommend to family and friends every time. I even had a one on one training session with the owner and I learned more with him in 10 minutes than I have ever with previous dogs and previous places. Five stars.

If you want to prevent your dog from getting bit by a rattlesnake, this is the place to go. They make it easy and quick. Great customer service. Our dog, Scout, was fine with the people, even though she's not around other people much. We think dogs know if a person is nice. She will be back for her refresher training in six months. Thanks. By the way, haven't seen a snake yet, but we did pass a hole that she wouldn't go near! She usually sticks her nose in every hole.

Response from Partners Dogs

Thank you for the awesome review Doug! Much love to you and Scout <3 Let's hope she stays away from those RATTLESNAKES!

JB John B. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Y Yelp

Well, did not get anything free, don't know the family, nor anyone who works here...so what I am about to say is unsolicited. Ruger ( the dog) went for his first " snake avoidance " class....Ruger can be difficult, not only did he like everyone, they understood his barking. (letting all know that Ruger is in the area)....The trading was completed, explained,and we feel better and that Ruger is safer now...we will follow-up in 6 months, and set him up with more training for his barking issues. Great people, place, down to earth.

Thanks for the awesome review John! We really appreciate your support and look forward to seeing Ruger back for his refresher:)

KB Kimberly B. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Partners came through when we really needed it the most. We have a puppy who was doing well and we planned on training. My 95 year old aunt came to live with us sooner than I could get the training done in classes and on my own. Our Newfoundland pup spent two weeks at the training camp and what they did with her was nothing short of a miracle. Hanah our trainer was amazing with the pup and with us. The office staff from the first call considerate and helpful. We will continue with our classes there and could not be a more happy customer. Partners you really saved us!

EG Ed G. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

We have been attending classes, going to Doggy Daycare and have boarded at Partners for over 2 years now. The staff is wonderful with our Olde English Bulldogge, Gunner! He loves them all! Having the support of the whole staff is so nice and very helpful in our journey of training! We have found that their method of training is fun and rewarding not only for Gunner but for us as well. Consistency of training is apparent with all the trainers. Daycare is extremely beneficial for Gunner in that not only does he get play time with other dogs he also gets some one on one training with the staff! I have recommended Partners to friends with pups without hesitation. Thank you to all the staff for such great care and attention you give to Gunner!

SR Sarah R. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Partners is the best when comes to fair training. They teach how to reward and correct the behaviors you do and dont want. My dogs have come along way since implementing this technique of training. I will never go anywhere else. Staff is great and the place always smells so clean. Love it

LR Lulubelle R. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

I am the Director for Lulubelle Animal Rescue. We sometimes encounter dogs with aggression issues. We have used Partners to help us get these dogs under control and get them to the point where they are manageable and adoptable! One of the biggest examples was our Lance. He was on the euthanasia list at county. We pulled him and realized he needed training! After doing camp at Partners and getting the training he needed he finally found the perfect home! We couldn't have done it without Kelli and the crew at Partners!

RR R R. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

We were faced with the extremely difficult realization that our dog was out of control. His aggression with other dogs and men had become unmanageable. We had come to the point that we knew we had to put him down, rather than allow another dog or person to be hurt by him. In desperation I contacted Partners Dogs. They agreed to evaluate him. They accepted him into their aggressive dog camp(no promises given, he was a difficult case.) What an amazing transformation! Not only were they able to instill "boundaries" to him, but they taught us to maintain those boundaries so we no longer allow him to get to the "mental place" to become aggressive with people or dogs any longer. (Kelly, you're awesome!) I cannot say enough good about Partners. Highly recommend to anyone that is experiencing "dog issues"!

BS Brian S. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Great snake training; professional team. Definitely will take the pup back for refreshers.

RB Robin B. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Partners was recommended to us before we moved to AZ three years ago, and it has more than exceeded our expectations. Our German Shepherd named Angel has thrived beginning in Puppy Boot Camp and progressing through Agility, Rally Cross, and Obedience Level 1/2/3 before earning her Canine Good Citizen certification recently. All of the staff at Partners are terrific, but we especially liked working with Kalie. She is so good at training dogs and especially their owners!

RV Ronald V. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Partners Dog Training School is the best Dog school in the valley! My fiancé and I needed to be out of the country for a few weeks and were in need of a place to board our Aussie-doodle, Daya. Additionally, Daya was having some over-excitement and barking issues we really wanted to work on and thought that this was a great opportunity to knock out two birds with one stone. We were recommended Partners by our veterinarian and our experience greatly surpassed our expectations. The moment we picked up Daya, we could tell that she had a great time and had learned a ton! Our trainer, Emily, gave use a demonstration and provided a detailed explanation on how we should continue her training. Ever since, Daya has been the perfect dog! We even dabble in some casual agility training. To this day, we continue to receive compliments on Daya's behavior and responsiveness. We recommend partners to everyone we know!

SC Scott C. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

This place is a wonderland for dog lovers. I am going to start doing agility with my dog, Anita is awesome!!! The rattle snake proofing is on my long list of everything I look forward to doing with Partners. Dock diving, obedience, doggy daycare, and I keep finding out different things they offer each time I am at the school. Highly recommend!!! 5 star +++ ⭐️

MC Marvin C. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

I give Partners and Emily a strong 5 stars & 2 thumbs up. We have excellent weekly private training sessions with Emily for our 10 month old Havanese, Piper. We originally signed up for 5 weeks and have now added another 5 week session. Piper also loves the day care!

JL Jo L. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Gus is our Golden Retriever puppy who just loves going to class with Kalie each week. She does a great job training him and me. Gus is also a graduate of Puppy and Me class which was a great start to his training. Even though he has lots of 4-legged family members at home, introducing him to other dogs and their people has been very good for him. The staff at Partners Dog Training School are all so nice to work with. They clearly love what they do.

RW Robert W. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

I took one 3 year old dog to training. It was it's 3d training. It had received training at another facility twice and was bitten by a rattler anyway in between its 1st and 2d session so I was not enamored with the training it received. At partners, the whole process seemed better and the trainer seemed very skilled at reading the dog's reaction at each station. I'm sure the dog is now much more attuned to the rattler danger.

RH Rodney H. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

We have a male American Pit bull Terrier named Cruz that was aggressive toward other dogs and strangers. We researched all of the dog training facilities in the Phoenix area and found Partners Dog Training who had a program to rehabilitate this undesirable behavior. We were very impressed with the trainers, especially Jen S. and the results that were achieved. I highly recommend Partners Dog Training for aggressive behavior. Thanks Jen for the work put into Cruz and for being his Auntie while staying there for the training.

EM Emma M. Cave Creek Apr 2018 Google

Emily was so amazing and wonderful to work with! Our little guy, Fritz, went into training with no manners and some really bad habits. After 3 weeks at behavior camp he is like a new dog. Training helped establish a line of communication between us and things have never been better. Fritz listens, plays well with others, and is a much happier pup now that we do regular obedience training with him. Obedience has been a great positive outlet for his energy and drive and we are so thankful for Emily and Partners Dog Training for making it happen.

WJ Wilbur J. Cave Creek Mar 2018 Y Yelp

Having previously used Partners for my dogs, they were the only place I thought of when I got two puppies. They were so patient with my stubborn one; there was no way I would have been able to get her to the stage she is at so quickly. They did the training camp and now it is a pleasure to take them for a walk. They don't pull and when we come to people they sit instead of jump. one thing they stress is just because they are out of camp, doesn't mean the training stops. I know this from previous dogs but it helps to reinforce with the owners too. I've seen dogs who've gone other places and eve done it myself once. Once. The money was a waste because of the lack of follow through on their part and mine. As an owner, I too need reminding that it is an on going process. Partners commitment helps reinforce mine and my dogs. I now have four well behaved dogs that are a joy to take anywhere.

Response from Partners Dogs

The continued support and follow up is so KEY! We are glad to have your support and of course, your pups are a joy to work with:)

KH Kimberly H. Cave Creek Mar 2018 Y Yelp

We brought our 10 month old, yellow lab Sandy, here for their snake training and were very impressed! Everyone we worked with was very professional, and you can tell they truly care about the well-being and safety of your dog. Within one, 20 minute training session, Sandy wouldn't go near or look at the snakes (all in cages), even when I went over by the cage and called her name. I will definitely be bringing her back in 6 months for a refresher course, since we are big hikers and are training her to walk off leash. Highly recommend!

Response from Partners Dogs

Thanks so much for the review Kimberly. We're so happy you took the time to bring Sandy in for training, and we're glad you had a great experience:)

CN Chris N. Cave Creek Feb 2018 Y Yelp

Just had my 2 Labs snake trained at Partners. Excellent service! Pleasant people with smiling faces! Everything went perfectly. These folks know what they are doing for sure. Real life exposure to rattlesnakes... the sounds and the smells... and the dogs learn to avoid them. I feel much better taking the boys on a hike or even letting them out in the back yard now they've had this training. I can't recommend Partners enough. Very, very nice job snake training my dogs. Excellent!

Response from Partners Dogs

Thank you so much for the awesome review Chris! Glad to hear you enjoyed your Snake Avoidance experience. Please let us know if you need anything.

DB Dawn B. Cave Creek Jan 2018 Y Yelp

Partners helped us tremendously with my Chow rescue Jax. He was so fearful and could be aggressive when put in a situation that scared him. Partners gave him confidence through behavior and obedience training that helped him build trust that we were in control and were not going to harm him. He is far less fearful and is more trusting with men now, which was one of the major issues before we started training. We still take him to follow-up group training every other week and he continues to improve. I don't think we would have been able to help Jax without Partners.

Response from Partners Dogs

Hi Dawn, thank you so much for the awesome review! We are so glad to see the progress with Jax, keep rocking with the follow up. Much love:)

We have used Partners for two of our dogs when they were puppies, a yellow lab and a goldendoodle. Each time after the two week training course they came back calmer, attentive and more obedient. Partners is not the cheapest option but if you commit to the expense and the follow up training sessions, you will have a well adjusted pet for your family.

Response from Partners Dogs

Thank you Adam for your great review. While we love to earn '5 stars" we understand your concern about the cost. We still appreciate you taking the time to write a review, and we look forward to having you and your pup train with us in the future.

JI Joanne I. Cave Creek Sep 2017 Y Yelp

We adopted our rescue dog, Millie, in February of this year. She is two and definitely had some issues with fear/trust and abandonment. We enlisted the help of Partners and left Millie for 3 weeks in Dogie Boot Camp. It was worth every bit of time and the money we spent. Can't recommend Emily enough! Great mix of discipline, compassion and loving :)) Without this program, Partners and the wonderful staff, I seriously doubt that Millie would have found her forever home with us, as we were considering re-homing her. We just finished level 2 obedience classes with Melissa, who is another super dog trainer. Millie would never be the confident obedient dog she is today, without the skills she and US were taught at Partners. Finally, we board Millie each time we go away. She bounds onto the Partners property and loves all the staff there. She is all bathed up for pick up with the cutest report card about her behavior while there. This is a fairly large business, but is definitely professional with a personal touch. Millie has found her forever family and her home away from home with Partners :)) HIGHLY recommend!

EC Erica C. Cave Creek Apr 2017 Y Yelp

I am so happy that we were lucky enough to find Jen Shelton and Partners! My husband and I rescued a Yorkie/Cairn terrier mix who displayed serious aggression toward other people and controlling behaviors once he got comfortable with us. He's def full of personality and makes our home complete but his aggression was making it hard to take him anywhere, even to the vet! We found Partners and Jen Shelton was our pup's main trainer during his stay at Behavior Bootcamp and he came home a very obedient pup. Jen clearly knows and loves dogs. We are so happy keep working with her on our pup's aggressive behavior, we won't give up on him and neither will Jen! Thank you Jen!

AW Ann W. Cave Creek Apr 2017 Y Yelp

My husband and I have been clients of Partners Dog Training for 5+ years. Our pet dog London is CGC certified and participates in the Out and About classes, where a trainer leads clients and their dogs through public placess with everyone doing obedience. Think coordinated synchronized swimming without the water. We get tons of "ooohs" and "ahhhs" as people enjoy watching our very well trained dogs perform at an "A+" level. My husband and I also raise puppies for a guide dog organization and supplement that training with obedience classes at Partners. I am always pleased with the results. Kelli McCoy, Jen, Melissa, Emily and all the other fabulous trainers are terrific- giving great tips on overcoming challenges and training us to be the best trainers we can be to our dogs. Thanks to all the fabulous staff at Partners who have enriched our lives with well trained, well behaved dogs! I highly recommend them!!!

Response from Partners Dogs

Hi Ann, we at Partners want to thank you again for your kind words. You are an awesome client, and we love your Guide dog project. It means the world to us to get positive reviews from you, and thank you for taking the time to write. Sadly, Yelp is still "filtering" your review. That is their way of saying they don't believe the review is real. There is not much you can go, other than continuing to review other places, and occasionally posting something about us (again). I just wanted to say thank you! ~ Leighton

MD Mark D. Cave Creek Apr 2017 Google

I've been working with Amy Measles on a regular basis with my dogs on dock diving training at Partners, and she is fantastic. She has a way with dogs that allows them to put their trust in her almost immediately, which helps the training process and makes it much easier to communicate with the dogs when you step in to work with them one on one. I would recommend Partners to anyone wanting to work with their dog and do continued training, and make sure and ask for Amy.

TC Teri C. Cave Creek Apr 2017 Google

Shout out to Emily! ... My pup, Keller, and I have done 2 private sessions with her on campus.

Best place and a second home for your pooch. Trainers are friendly and you get easily comfortable with. They also send you pics of your pooch if you board them. Best part is their boarding includes regular training once a day!

CR Courtney R. Cave Creek Apr 2017 Google

We have an 11 month old golden retriever with a real love for life. We love him just as much, but his high energy level gets him into trouble...destructive behavior and poor listening habits. Anita helped us to remind Lucky who was boss and gave both Lucky and his parents the skills we needed to ensure a healthy and happy home life. He now knows the basic commands and is more respectful of his environment. Thank you Anita and Partners! Lucky felt safe and happy at Partners...so important. We would highly recommend you send your beloved dogs there for a positive and rewarding experience for all!

This place is amazing. Each person whether trainer or support has been so knowledgeable and tuned in to dogs that I have been reassured and comforted. My JRT has aggression issues and I came here for help based on vet recommendations. They bought in to my situation immediately. I live in a motor home and they have brainstormed my situation at staff meetings and offered some insightful realistic solutions. Although Jen has been the primary trainer and she is amazing!!, others on the staff know my situation and talk to me about different ideas. Clearly these people care about and love dogs. I feel so happy knowing they take the happiness of me and my dog as personally as I do. The physical facility is large and allows dogs a variety of training opportunities. The staff is professional and knowledgeable but most important, they want the best for the dogs and their owners. This is a 5 star facility in every way.

Thank you SO much for your wonderful review of our school back in February. We were thrilled to hear how happy you are. And I personally appreciate your taking the time to write a review.

We have an 11 month old golden retriever with a real love for life. We love him just as much, but his high energy level gets him into trouble...destructive behavior and poor listening habits. Anita helped us to remind Lucky who was boss and gave both Lucky and his parents the skills we needed to ensure a healthy and happy home life. He now knows the basic commands and is more respectful of his environment. Thank you Anita and Partners!

Thank you for the wonderful review. We always appreciate great reviews. We look forward to seeing you and Lucky sometime in the future. Leighton Training Director - Partners Dog Training School

We are extremely grateful that we found trainer Jen Shelton, and Partners. It is evident that she genuinely cares about dogs (AND their people) and strives to give them all a better life. We were having a horrible time introducing a new puppy into our home, but Jen's patient guidance provided us with the structure we needed for a smoother transition. Our Fletcher not only tolerates puppy Forrest after his time there, but even seems to enjoy the company and invites play! Thank you Jen! And thank you to the entire staff. Every person we've encountered there has been kind and helpful! It was a very difficult (and much debated) decision to put our 7 year old dog in the 3 week long 'behavior camp', but after meeting Jen and a number of other staff members, we felt much more comfortable doing so. They do allow pet parents to observe evaluations and a few training sessions via a two way mirror, and this eased our own separation anxiety a bit! Also, the way Jen and all the ladies there would swoon over our adorable (obnoxious) little Fletcher warmed our hearts. He may be middle aged, but he has still 'got it'! ;-)

We started our sheltie off in day care to help her with socialization. She loves it!! She cannot wait to get to each visit. Kelly gives her a lesson every day care session and is now giving her private lessons. Kelly loves her job and her clients and it shows. She listens to our concerns and zeros right in on the solution. A well trained dog is a happy dog (and owner). This is the place to go.

KS katie s. Cave Creek Oct 2016 Y Yelp

I cannot say enough about partners and specifically our trainer Elise. Our private lessons with elise were a game changer. We adopted our dog Wrigley and although she had the basic commands....she was definitely in charge! Elise not only made an amazing connection with Wrigley..but she trained us equally. Wrigley is a completely different dog...becoming more social, disciplined and confident. Thank you Elise. You are the best!!

Partners had out Plott Hound, Daisy Mae back in December for 2 weeks of obedience training and then an extra week of boarding while we were on vacation. Our trainer, JEN SHELTON was AMAZING!!! We needed to have Daisy start her journey of crate training and that is exactly what we loved the most about our experience. 9 months later here we are and our hound is doing beyond expectations. Recently we took our Daisy Mae on a 14 hour each way trip to Ketchum, Idaho and we also brought her crate. She did amazing. Not one peep in the car and she was extremely well behaved in the hotel room. I cannot say enough about her obedience training. When we registered her we were told we would not have a perfect dog and we don't. It takes work. We did everything we were told when we got her home and of course we still have days of "Daisy Mae NO!" The coolest thing I think is when we hike Gateway Daisy sits on command to allow hikers to pass and sits before a mountain bike approaches...that took some training for sure...however Jen got the ball rolling. The tough part about our breed is that she requires a GPS tracking collar to ever go off leash and with the laws around here..plus desert conditions it's a good thing. We have never had an incident at a dog park in reference to fighting and as a matter of fact everytime she stays at a local place she gets RAVING reports on her behavior and her ability to get along with other dogs. Dog park, she is awesome. I owe a ton of that to JEN SHELTON!!!! If your dog needs some obedience training or training of any kind I would highly recommend Partners. HOWEVER, it takes more than just the trainiers you have to be willing to listen to their suggestions and follow through consistently. REQUEST JEN SHELTON!!!!

I brought my then 9-month old German Shepard rescue Koda to Partners last November and enrolled him in the 2-week training class to deal with his fear and aggression. When we first got him home he did great for the next couple of months. Koda then started to regress and go back to some old behaviors and a few new ones! We started back with his training with Elyse and my defining moment was when a neighbor commented on how better Koda seems, as she has seen me working with him (including him barking at her from time to time). Elyse has been a great partner for both me and Koda. She's quick to reply to my messages when I have questions and has been very patient with both me and Koda! Today when I dropped him off he ran over the Elyse, tail wagging...happy to see her (he used to bark at her). That let's me know that my little guy is in great hands! It's been exciting to see the changes in Koda's behavior and I'm grateful for all the work/effort Elyse has shown.

Two years ago we picked out this terrified pup from a shelter and brought her home. For the first two months I could only take her outside after dark because she was so timid but then I called my friend Leighton A Oosthuisen at Partners Training and asked about private lessons. We were paired up with Jen Shelton who totally changed my Tori's life! She is now a goofy playful pup that loves other dogs and people. Jen used her own dog Violet to help socialize Tori and show her how to be a good girl! If you need help training your fuzzy kid please give Partners a call and talk to Jen Shelton!

I was really skeptical in picking up a place for my baby boy since we were planning for a long trip out of country. One of my friends suggested Partners and i am so glad I picked them. They kept sending me updates of Facebook whenever requested. They respond so quickly. My boy was so happy and occupied while we were away. We took training along with boarding so he was kinda Super busy and learning. I am sure my boy loved them too, definitely will be going back for next level K9 training.

BJ Brandy J. Cave Creek Jul 2016 Y Yelp

Today was my second experience with the Partners Snake Avoidance training. I called them up this week and told them I had a dog with issues. I was upfront and honest with the staff and asked if they would even consider a dog like my rescue Reggie. When I got him he was feral and had some pretty big issues. The staff asked me questions and it was determined that he could attend. I brought my other 3 legged rescued dog for the training too. We go out in the desert exploring often so this training is a MUST for my dogs. When I got to Partners the staff was fully aware of Reggie's issues (he dislikes women) they handled both dogs fabulously. They really take the time to explain what they do and why. Turns out the dog I thought would be an issue did great! I really think their calm confident attitudes made him feel at ease, which made ME feel at ease. I cannot say enough good things about my experiences with Partners Training. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, you can really tell they love what they do. Part of loving your dog is training, so please listen to the trainers because I got a lot out of today's experience, they really went above and beyond. My only wish is I could come more often, but Maricopa is far away. Well worth the drive! Thank you Partners for the valuable training, advice, and professionalism. I highly recommend Partners Training to anyone I know!

We have a Maltese that has aggression issues. Improvement has definitely been a process and partners has really proven to be partners along the way. The staff is outstanding and and takes the time to really try to understand what is going on in the dogs head. The improvement especially recently has been tremendous and short of magic, I can't imagine a more effective training solution.

Brought our 4 Year Old German Shepard Annie for a three week camp to deal with potential behavior issues and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our dog is obviously so much happier now after being trained and since the training camp so much better behaved. No more barking when put outside. No more rushing the door. She sits, stays, heels, basically listens to us now. Wow what a difference three weeks made. Jen Shelton and everyone there were just terrific! We will recommend Partners to everyone we know. Its also good to have a place to trust when we need to board or use day care. It's very obvious they care very much for every dog. Thanks Partners!

I have to say I cant say enough about the caring, professional people that make up the awesome team of trainers at Partners. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable but patient and caring as well with each and every dog and their family! I personally have had several dogs trained in the school for behavior & snake proofing. I trust completely the methods of training used by Leighton and his team of trainers to handle my beloved pups with the same loving care and handling as if they were their own. I will be the first to recommend them to all my friends and family. We will be calling soon about training for our new pup Scout. Thank You Leighton and Staff for our happy and well behaved pups.

We brought our weimaraner-lab mix to Partners after he began exhibiting some aggressive behaviors. He's always been a handful and trainers had previously told us that we just needed to exercise him a lot and the rest was genetics. When I called Partners I was in despair and very seriously worried that we would have to give him up. That initial phone call was so reassuring and informative. The people who work here are incredible! They truly love dogs and are the best kind of compassionate, caring, and well trained dog lovers. At Partners they really listen to you and they provide your dog with the trainer that best suits the needs of the dog. We had Kali as our dogs trainer and she did amazing things with him!! She was also really clear with us about what it would take to make sure the training and patterning continued at home. She really empowered us with knowledge. He's been home for 3 weeks now and he's doing really well. We're so pleased with our experience. My only regret is that we didn't bring him here sooner! Thank you Partners for taking such good care of our sweet boy, for training him so well, and for putting up with overly anxious dog parents! You are an amazing organization filled with really wonderful big hearted people! I should also add that this was incredibly affordable for the quality of care and training provided!

I found Partners after I adopted a 1 yr old pit bull mix who had been living on the street and had extreme fear issues as we believe she had bethrown from a car. Jen worked with us one on one bringing out the funny goofy dog we love. They train using reward and enthusiasm which I loved. I cant say enough about how they helped us!

JS Jessica S. Cave Creek Mar 2016 Y Yelp

I have been struggling with my rescue ACD, Huxley for the past 3 years since I adopted him. After bringing him home back in 2013 he immediately began showing territorial aggression to anyone who would enter my home and even nipped at a few people. As time went on the problems got worse and after moving to a new place in January of this year Huxley's behavior deteriorated. He experienced such bad separation anxiety that he broke out of a window and escaped the house while I was at work and would have a breakdown if anyone other than myself entered the home. After pulling together the funds, I enrolled Huxley in the Behavior Camp Program at Partners. He stayed there for 3 weeks to work on lying a foundation of strict obedience and trying to break Huxley of his alpha-like territorial habits. Huxley's main trainer, Kayli was amazing and thoughtful. She made sure to keep in contact with me and let me know about Huxley's progress and the things they were working on each week. All of the staff were considerate, helpful and seemed truly happy to work with my dog, despite his behavior problems and bite-history. Huxley got more comfortable with most of the trainers there after spending some time with them, which encouraged me to believe that he could love other people besides me, with some work and time. Since picking him up last week, it is quite evident that Huxley got exactly the training he needed. Huxley will never be the dog that loves strangers, he will never be excited to play with someone he is not comfortable with. But after the three weeks of obedience and conditioning with Partners, I can now control his behavior and curb his outbreaks. If I am planning to have people in my home, I can have Huxley stay in a "place" command or have him go to his crate (which NEVER would have happened before). Partners also muzzle-trained Huxley, which allows me to keep everyone safe while Huxley interacts and begins to re-socialize. Included for us in the cost of the Behavior Camp (which no, is not cheap- however it is an investment in your dogs future, and in my opinion is 100% worth the up-front cost) are follow up weekly training classes to reinforce what he learned during camp. There is no miracle fix for dogs with behavior issues. I will have to work hard and structure Huxley's life for as long as I am lucky enough to have him with me. Partners helped lay the groundwork to ease Huxley's anxiety and mine as well. I am very thankful for everyone at Partners and I highly recommend the school to anyone who may be experiencing anything similar to what Huxley and I have gone through.

We put our doberman, Dred, through Partners' behavior camp for a variety of reasons, one of which was they could provide a stable and consistent environment to help give him a solid foundation of basics, which we could not do. Kitra (office) spent an incredible amount of time with us, answering all of our questions about the training and was friendly and open and knowledgeable and never tried to push anything on us. Kitra is the reason we decided on a training school that is 100+ miles away from us and we drove 200+ miles round trip for 7 weeks after Dred came home from camp for his follow up sessions. Her belief in Partners, what they do, what they offer, and her friendly open conversation is what convinced us Partners was the right choice for us. The trainers who worked with Dred were amazing. Stephanie and Ray gave Dred the solid foundation we asked for, but more importantly they taught me the confidence to give Dred a command and expect to be obeyed and Ray taught me the patience to be consistent when it is needed. Without Partners being so patient with ME, Dred wouldn't be over a year graduated from his camp and still loving his training routines. I just wish we lived closer, we'd come in for more training.

We brought home a three month old Labradoodle Puppy and she needed puppy 411 training STAT. We were referred over to Partners by a previous client and they RAVED about how amazing they were. They were right. We enrolled our lil puppy in Partners for three full weeks of overnight puppy bootcamp. From the moment I arrived I was treated professionally, thoroughly and knew our puppy was in good hands. She returned home a new dog. Obedient. Alert. Respectful and TRAINED! We now follow up on Saturday morning training sessions to maintain (OUR) and her attention span. We could not be more pleased with our trainer Kalie. Our puppy Jezze is beyond delighted to see everyone but secretly loves Kalie the most :) Kalina the office manager was fabulous through everything and runs the operation smoothly. We highly recommend Partners! I now need to enroll my disobedient Pomeranian and have Kalie whip him into shape. Thank you all for the wonderful service. I've already referred anyone I know looking for dog training assistance.

JM Jessica M. Cave Creek Jan 2015 Y Yelp

I have to admit, my dog HADES is amazing!!!! I don't know how I ended up with a rescue dog that is so well behaved!!! She has traveled with me all over the USA AND to 3 countries by car, train, boat and plane! She is my best friend - I take her EVERYWHERE!!! She would follow me to the end of the earth and back. But....without a leash!!! On a leash, it was the complete opposite. When I put my dog on a leash, everything would descend into the depths of chaos!!!! She would pull me in every inconceivable direction, take cheap shots at every dog she encountered and seemed like she was going to choke herself into an early death. Aside from the danger of it all, it was just plain embarrassing! People are always asking me for DOG advice but yet I had a dog that, on leash, couldn't even take a stroll around the block without a complete "scene" taking place. So I took a chance and decided to "invest" in a private lesson at Partners. This hour lesson took place four hours ago!!! I am currently doing a pub crawl in Cave Creek, AZ and am HAPPY to report that she is walking on her leash and an AMAZING transformation has already taken place!!! I am so proud!!! She is walking beside me, without pulling, right by my side!!! She has encountered several dogs and she still stayed in form. So IMPRESSED!!! Thank you!!!! Can't wait for our next lesson!!!! I am even thinking about dropping her off for CAMP!!! So HAPPY!!!

I have trained my dobies with the help of Partners Dog Training for many years now, both for obedience and agility training. With each dog I have learned new things, new ways of handling each dog's unique personality, and I know that someone there will help me figure a solution when I have no idea what to do. I have particularly valued their willingness to adapt training methods based on each dog's temperament and personality-and mine as well, recognizing that my skills or temperament will also affect how I train and how successful I can be with a given style. The classes are fun for both humans and dogs and Partners offers a wide range of training options. The staff has been great to me personally and most importantly have always helped me take great care of my dogs.

From sf to la and now to phoenix- this is the best training school for any dog ever. They treat every single dog that enters through the doors as their own. I can't say enough and they transformed my life with my dog to make him the most enjoyable family member I could ever hope for! Thank you for taking teddy brewski and making him the model dog citizen he is today!!!

My dog has every issue a dog can have. Even though we raised him from a puppy, and treated him like royalty, at 2 years old something in him changed, and he became very protective of our family, to the point of going after strangers. He hates other dogs, he doesn't like activity, he just likes to hang out and be 'him'- which is great, until you want to have visitors! I took him to three trainers, all who appeared to despise him as much as he despised them. Nothing worked. The three week boot camp at Partners has made some difference in my very stubborn guardian. He is more responsive to commands- walks way better on a leash, and more over, we have learned how to handle him more. He is crated when people come over, until he feels comfortable being around them. Kitra at Partners really explained how to get inside his head and manage situations so he is not so overwhelmed, scared and aggressive. We have come to terms that he will always be like this, but frankly, I would probably keep any dog away from strangers until I knew they were ok with the stimulation. Why 4 stars? It's pretty pricey and the outside training area is hot hot hot. Frequent customer perks would be nice- like a punch card or something for loyal customers. Some shade sails and misters would be a great idea. Also, maybe some more training ideas for aggressive dogs to build up his confidence. He loves to do agility but he can't be around other dogs- maybe some special needs training classes should be added. Overall though, I am happy to find a place that will train him, and board him, and where he feels comfortable.

I've been affiliated with Partner's Dog Training school in one way or another for over 15 years. I have brought my dogs there and trained with them and have also done work with them helping save the lives of Golden Retrievers through rescue there. They are amazing. Without their help, dedication and sheer determination many lives would be lost. On a personal level I love the facility and the trainers. They are all very talented and they CARE! Last year they ventured into Dock Diving which has now become our favorite sport. We come up weekly to train and my dogs our always tired afterwards, which is a really good thing! I would recommend Partner's because of their caring and talented staff as well as their variety in classes available and the facility. You guys are awesome!!!

LM L M. Cave Creek Nov 2013 Y Yelp

I should probably start this review off by saying that I love my dog, Morrison. I love him so much that I would probably marry him if I could. When I die, he's getting most of the money I have (aka not much, but I'm sure he'll enjoy it). IN FACT there isn't one person I meet that I don't' show a picture of him too because I love his face so much I want to take it and put it in a display case in my room. Anyway, I digress. I boarded Morrison here for 10 days when I went abroad to Europe. Talk about being worried, I wasn't just out of town, but in another country. But I was really pleased when I got a couple emails throughout my time in Europe. One of them saying he was doing great, and another asking if they could give him some medicine for his allergies. Talk about keeping the parent informed! My biggest pet peeve with vets/groomers/doggiedaycare/or any pet related business, is when they try and hide injuries, medicine, or anything else from the owner because they think it will be OK in the end. Partners wouldn't do that. Usually when Morrison comes home from overnight doggie day care he is a little on edge and might growl at people for the next 24 hours. This wasn't the case at all here. He actually seemed like his normal happy self. The training part of the day care went great too. This is a relatively in-expensive place to train your dog especially if you combine it with doggie day care. I am too obsessed with Morrison to even try and train him (I just CAN'T scold him). But after a few days here, he could sit, walk better on a leash, and even understand when I told him NO). They train bomb dogs, police dogs, and other dogs of the sort here, so you know they know what they're doing. The facility was always clean when I saw it, which I know at other places I've been too there is poop and pee everywhere, so it was nice to see none of that. It even smelled OK too. As for the staff, they seemed to know what they were doing. All of them that I talked to had dogs of their own, sometimes they even make appearances at the office. There is an adorable great dane that sits in front. I might be missing something, but I think I covered it all. Long story short, great facility and a place you can trust your children (oops, I mean pet).

AC Ana C. Cave Creek Jul 2013 Y Yelp

I am a believer in rescue dogs, I have become very committed to taking the dogs that are not the easiest to deal with and can be human aggressive and difficult, they are also big dogs 90lbs and over. I had previously met one of the trainers Leighton and had talked to him about my one dog, Miss M who is more than a handful. I got her at 6 months and did struggle with many aspects of her training and primarily discipline. Several months go by and I finally decided to go visit Leighton at Partners and take the notorious Miss M. Leighton was wonderful, he had a very calming influence over her, he didn't try to touch her or work closely with her, he just allowed her to settle down in his company and talk to me (usually the major problem with any dog is the owner) and ask me what I was doing and how I was handling things. At the end of at least an hour I came away with a profound respect for him and the facility he works at. I was given many many tools to use, I was motivated to continue working with her and have seen results that may seem small to others, but are vast and amazing to me. Any trainer can seemingly work with a somewhat happy or energetic dog, but the absolute most difficult is the aggressive, human in my case but also dog aggressive. I wouldn't recommend any other School to deal with or help with dogs that are aggressive. This facility is truly amazing not just for having everything from Dock Diving and clean beautiful areas for the dogs to mingle, train and play, but for the quality of service and knowledge and the trainers. This is the best Training School in Arizona, without exception.

I have a rescued Rottweiler / Pit Bull mix that was a hand full. I dropped him off at Partners for a two week clinic and picked up a changed well mannered pet. He sits, stays, comes, heels, downs, fetches with release, walks perfect on a leash and doesn't dash out of open doors. I couldn't be happier with the results. I've also recently added the snake recognition and avoidance training they offer to my dog. We frequently hike in the Superstitions and there are plenty of snakes along the trails. I feel that this low fee training added insurance to the well being of my energetic outdoor dog and may actually save me too. I've attended a few of the free classes that come with the behavioral clinics and practice his drills at home. I would attend more and continue training if It wasn't 150 miles round trip from the facility to my residence. I plan to board him there for additional training anytime I'm out of town for more than a few days. Attending the included classes has taught me as well as the dog and aided me in teaching my other pet at home on our own time schedule. The instruction is quite structured and makes sense helping us both understand the reasons for the commands and the proper responses. Every member of the staff from the receptionist, handlers, trainers, groomers and cleaners are very friendly. They take the time to answer your calls when checking on the progress of your pet .

I have two dobies, and they are the loves of my life. One has some leash-reactivity issues and can be quite the sassy pants. Two years ago I left her at partners while I was away on business and vacation for two weeks, and she did their camp. She did lose some weight because she hates being crated/kenneled, but that would have happened anywhere. She learned a lot of great skills, and it was the first time I could get her to actually walk on a leash without pulling like crazy. She still is a sassy pants, but she knows her commands perfectly and is very impressive with her commands. We've been attending weekly class now for about a year and a half - which is very affordable because we did the camp. I think it is only $10/class. I find this really helpful to keep her consistent and she has gone from level one to level two. During her time in level two, she has tested and passed to receive her AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. I work in the rescue world, so I know that there are A LOT of passionate opinions about different methods of training. Dog people can get really opinionated, and I don't think any one trainer or method is commonly loved by all. It can be tiring and every trainer thinks they are right. I am not saying other methods are wrong, just that I believe Partners has a pretty good approach and uses positive training as its basis with lots of other stuff that I won't try to explain. I also think it is important to mix in at home training and "fun" training like agility, dock-diving, etc which partners has. I also appreciate that partners supports the rescue community. There are a couple people who are extra special to my dobie girl at partners - she loves Lynn, Kerstin, Leighton and Jennifer.

We sent our Miniature Aussie to Partners for resident training camp for basic obedience. Prior to going there Scout was actually a pretty good dog, we just thought he could be better. After just two weeks Partners has brought him to the level of being an amazing dog, one that is a joy both as a companion and to work with at obedience. I specifically like the involvement of the staff and the transition training that we are doing now so that Scout knows what applies at Partners applies in our home as well. The staff is particularly skilled at not only training dogs, but teaching owners the subtle things that make all the difference. Perhaps the biggest thing I can say is that this is not just a facility to consider taking a troubled dog to, but also one that can bring significant improvement to an already good dog.

If you have a dog you need to get to Partners. I have had the absolute best experience there. About 6 years ago we adopted a puppy from a local rescue. We knew from the start she was going to be a handful! After taking her to a local pet store for their training class she could sit, lay down, and stay. However, we could still not take her for walks (she walked us!) and she was showing aggression towards our other dog. We searched for another way to get her trained; we loved our dog, just not her bad behaviors. Riley spent a few weeks in Partners’ behavior camp, we were able to visit and they showed us how she was progressing. She was a completely different dog! Once she was ready to come home the team at Partners taught us how to handle her and we got to go to follow up classes to keep everyone sharp on our new handling techniques. Since then we have recommended Partners to all of our friends and have taken all of our dogs to Partners. I can’t say it enough; I highly recommend this facility for you and your dog. They have all level classes, snake proofing, agility, and just built a new dock diving pool (my Goldendoodle LOVES swimming there), literally there is something for every dog.

We brought our dog Sam to Partners and the training he received was great! He is so well behaved now and actually listens. Through all of Partners hard work and their knowledgeable staff, we now have a great dog. I recommend Partners to anybody that has a dog.
