About Our 10 Week Dog Foundation Camp
Partners Dog Training has been helping dogs develop a delightful relationship with their Pet Parents since 1997. Our experience is unparalleled in the industry.
Foundation Camp helps with puppy manners, basic obedience, and some basic behavioral issues. If you need help with more difficult behaviors check out our Behavior Camp or Transform Camp.
Unparalleled Experience
At Partners, we succeed with more dog training cases than any other dog training school in the country. The fact that thousands of dogs have gone through this program makes us uniquely qualified to correct any problem and take obedience to stellar levels.
Fast Track Goals.
Maintain Our Work.
Foundation Camp fast tracks any training you desire. Everything from Basic Obedience, to puppy manners, basic behavioral issues, and more! Foundation Camp features multiple training sessions every day, socialization work, and programs customized to your dog’s needs to reach the goals you’ve set.
All Shapes And Sizes.
All Problems.
Every dog is different. At Partners we factor in personality, breed, age, and many other variables to come up with the best path to reach success. The key is cooperation and transparency with us, as well as listening to our guidance moving forward.
Industry-defining Strategies
Foundation Camp’s strategy is built on the foundation of repetition and consistency. While staying with us, we will build a solid foundation with your dog, using positive motivation to correct problems and increase positive behaviors.
Not sure what program is best?
We can help!
Step 1
Assessment + Check-in
- At the beginning of Foundation Camp, we do an introductory lesson.
- This gives you an opportunity to meet us and see how we train.
- This also gives us an opportunity to meet you and your pup in order to see if we are the best fit for you.
- During this stage, we obtain all vaccination records as well as further details into your dog’s background.
- Lastly, we assess your goals in order to keep training consistent and effective across the board.
Step 2
Training + Demos
- Next, your dog will start their training.
- In Foundation Camp, your pup will have an hour of training each day with a pro trainer.
- In between training sessions, your dog will be crated on the Training Floor. This practices a behavior called “modeling” which is when the training happening around them actually rubs off on the dog watching.
- Or your dog can go into All Day Play, where they can socialize, play, and practice proper manners whenever they aren’t being trained.
- During the training period, we would like to see you once a week for a 30 min-1hr. demonstration session. During this time, your trainer will go over what has been happening, what we have had success with, and where we are having difficulties.
Step 3
Transition
- The last step is to transition the training we have instilled over to you.
- In addition to the online Pet Parent Guide that you will complete while your dog is in training you also have access to a plethora of other training resources.
- This is probably the most critical step as it involves teaching you to maintain the behaviors we have established at the school.
- Over a private lesson and 4 Pet Parenting Group Classes, we will guide you through the process of managing your dog through all types of scenarios.
- As we say, 90% of our job is training you. We can get your dog to sing the ABCs, but none of that matters if the training doesn’t transfer over to you.
- During this stage, we require consistency and dedication on your part to ensure your dog doesn’t revert back to old, bad behaviors.

Are there any breed/age restrictions?
There is a minimum age restriction of about six months which allows time to get all of their vaccinations done. However, there is no maximum age restriction because, despite the saying, you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Why should I choose you?
With over 25 years of experience, we have an extensive track record of success. Our trainers receive the best education in the industry. Your questions are answered with kindness and compassion. We consistently push ourselves to exceed your expectations!
Is the cost worth it?
In the same way one would send their child to school, where professional educators are entrusted with their care, dog owners enroll their pups in school, where professional trainers achieve the best results. Is it an investment? Of course! As long as you are a part of the process and maintain the training at home.
When can I get started?
Once you have selected your program, our team is happy to schedule your check-in with your instructor. We then collect a non-refundable deposit, verify vaccinations, and invite you to complete your Pet Parent Portal information.
Where does my dog sleep?
We have raised Kuranda cots in either our luxury suites or standard chain-link enclosures. We have the options of 6x4ft enclosures for large dogs and 4x4ft for smaller dogs. Dogs always have access to clean water and are rotated frequently throughout the day.
Is there someone there overnight?
Our Scottsdale location does have staff overnight in case of emergency. We don't have staff overnight at our Cave Creek facility, but one of the owners does live on the same property.
What should I bring to Check-In?
Some parents will bring in special diet food or medications for their dogs. Any bedding, toys, etc. can be left at home during boarding and training unless otherwise specified.
