Dog Training Programs for Every Dog and Every Need
Whatever your dog's challenge, an out-of-control adolescent, a reactive rescue, or a good dog who needs more, there is a path here, and a team that has run it tens of thousands of times.
What dog training programs does Partners Dogs offer?
Partners Dogs offers a full range of dog training programs: board-and-train camps (Foundation, Behavior, and Transform), DaySchool daycare with training, group classes across eight grade levels, one-on-one private lessons, and specialty training like rattlesnake avoidance and leash reactivity. Each program is curated to the dog through our personalized training platform and the PD360 assessment, and they connect, camp graduates roll into DaySchool and classes to maintain progress, and follow-up lessons keep the education going long after pickup. As the largest training school in the Southwest with 70,000+ dogs trained over 28 years, we match the program to your dog rather than forcing your dog into one method.
Family-owned since 1997. 70,000+ dogs trained. 4.8 stars across 2,000+ reviews. Two Arizona campuses, Scottsdale and Cave Creek.
