Partners Dogs Scottsdale · Shea Blvd & the Loop 101
A modern, climate controlled training resort at 8642 E Shea Blvd, minutes from anywhere in the Valley. Balanced, honest training and luxury care from a family owned team that has worked with more than 70,000 dogs since 1997.
Tired of apologizing for your dog’s behavior? Looking for a trusted place to board while you travel, or a way to burn your dog’s energy and build better social skills? We have trained more than 70,000 dogs since 1997, so we have seen it all. Whatever you are working on, our Scottsdale team will meet you where you are and build a clear plan to get you to a calm dog at home and one you can take anywhere with confidence.
WHY PARTNERS DOGS
Do not know what to do next? We do. First we assess your goals and design a plan to reach them. Then we build a relationship, lay down strong foundational obedience, and correct unwanted behaviors. Finally we teach you to build on that foundation, hold your dog accountable, and keep those good behaviors for life.
First and foremost, we love dogs. We want your dog to succeed as much as you do, and our team will do whatever it takes to hit the goals you have set. When you train with us, you get a partner that is invested in the outcome, not just the lesson.
Our mission is to give every pet parent and their dog an extraordinary education and a lifelong, delightful relationship. We are balanced, tool agnostic trainers. We use whatever serves the dog and the family best, from treats and markers to slip leads, prong collars, and e-collars. Tools do not cause harm. People do. The trainer’s skill is what determines the outcome.
The relationship does not end when the program does. Our Scottsdale team stays available for follow up, refreshers, and the everyday questions that come up as life with your dog changes. You are never on your own.
A MODERN HOME FOR YOUR DOG
Our Scottsdale campus in Pima Crossings is purpose built for dogs. Bright, climate controlled training rooms, a dedicated DaySchool wing, an indoor play floor, outdoor enrichment yards, a splash pad and pool, agility setups, a grooming station, and quiet rest rooms where dogs sleep on raised Kuranda cots. It is one of the largest and highest rated facilities in the Southwest.
