    Referral Partner Program

    Refer With Confidence To Arizona's Most Trusted Dog School

    Your clients trust you with their dogs. When a dog needs more than you can offer, the aggression, the reactivity, the anxiety, send them to a school that treats them, and you, right. Join 40 plus vet practices who already refer to us.

    How does the Partners Dogs referral partner program work?

    Partners Dogs is the trusted training home for the behavior cases other professionals cannot take, and our referral partnership is simple: you point clients our way, we take the case, assess the dog honestly, and keep you updated on how the dog is doing. More than 40 veterinary practices already refer families to us, especially for severe reactivity and aggression, because professionals trust how we handle dogs, including the difficult ones others decline. When you refer a client, you stay in the loop, your client gets an honest assessment and the right program, and you stay the professional who pointed them to the right place. It is a straightforward way to extend the care you provide without taking on training yourself.

    WHY PARTNER WITH US

    The Trusted Home For The Cases You Cannot Take

    Every clinic, salon, and rescue runs into the same dog. The one that is too reactive for the lobby, too anxious for the table, or carries a bite history that puts your team at risk. You cannot fix it in a fifteen minute visit, and sending the owner away with no answer costs you the relationship.

    That is where we come in. Professionals send us their hardest dogs because we take the work seriously and we are honest about it. We assess the dog in front of us, tell the owner the truth about what is possible, and use a balanced method matched to that specific dog rather than a one size script. When you refer to Partners Dogs, your client gets real help, the dog gets handled safely, and you stay the professional who pointed them to the right place.

    WHO SHOULD PARTNER

    Built For The Professionals Who Send Us Their Hardest Dogs

    • Veterinarians Behavior cases that fall outside medical care need somewhere to go. We handle the training and the management plan while you stay focused on the dog's health, and we keep you in the loop on what we find.
    • Groomers and pet businesses Refer the dogs that fight the bath, the brush, or the nail trim, and we work on cooperative care so the next appointment goes easier for everyone. We send grooming, boarding, and daycare referrals back your way.
    • Boarding and daycare When a dog is not a fit for your floor, you do not have to simply turn the owner away. Send them to a team that is built for the dogs other facilities decline.
    • Rescues and shelters A reactive or undertrained dog is a returned dog. Partner with us to improve adoptability, coach new adopters, and give your placements a better chance of sticking.
    • Breeders Set your puppies and adult dogs up to succeed in their new homes with foundation training and owner coaching, so your placements reflect well on your program.

    WHERE YOUR REFERRALS GO

    The Right Program For The Dog You Send

    • Severe behavior and bite history Aggression, serious reactivity, and bite cases go into focused board and train and behavior rehabilitation, the work most trainers will not take. See aggression work
    • Everyday manners and anxiety Dogs that need foundation training, calm in public, or one on one coaching move through camps and private sessions matched to the owner's goals. See Transform Camp

    HOW A REFERRAL WORKS

    Simple For You, Honest For Your Client

    Reach out. Call us at 480-595-6700 or email enroll@partnersdogs.com and tell us you would like to refer clients. We will talk through the kinds of dogs you see and how you would like to work together.

    Point your client to us. Send the owner our way and let us know they are coming. Their first step is an honest assessment of the dog and a clear recommendation the family can act on at their own pace.

    We keep you in the loop. You hear back on what we found and how the dog is progressing, so you stay the professional who pointed them to the right place.

    We take the case from start to finish. Every dog you send stays with us from assessment through graduation, and we keep you updated along the way. Training, DaySchool, boarding, and grooming all happen on our own campuses.

    ALREADY TRUSTED BY YOUR PEERS

    More Than 40 Veterinary Practices Already Refer To Us

    A balanced, honest method and real outcomes are why a 40 plus practice veterinary referral network already sends us their behavior cases. We have trained more than 70,000 dogs since 1997 across two Arizona campuses. When you partner with Partners Dogs, you are joining the professionals who already trust us with the dogs they cannot take.

    WHY PROFESSIONALS TRUST US

    Your Reputation Is Safe With Us

    • An honest method, not a sales pitch We assess the dog in front of us and tell the owner the truth about what is realistic, even when that is not what they hoped to hear. Your client never feels oversold, and that protects your name.
    • Balanced and matched to the dog We are tool agnostic and choose the approach that fits each dog rather than forcing one philosophy. That is how we handle the hard cases safely.
    • We communicate back You are not left wondering what happened. We follow up on what we found and how the dog is doing so you can speak to it with your client.
    • Family owned since 1997 Two generations, two Arizona campuses, and the same standard on every dog. We are not going anywhere, and neither is the relationship. See what sets us apart

    WHAT YOUR CLIENT GETS

    A Dog They Can Finally Live With

    The owner you send us is usually exhausted. They have tried, they have been turned away, and they are not sure anyone can help. The dog that comes home from us is calmer, more manageable, and easier to handle in the exact moments that used to fall apart, the lobby, the table, the front door.

    That is a win they remember, and they remember who sent them. A good referral makes you look like the professional who knew exactly where to send them.
