About Our 10 Week Dog Foundation Camp

Partners Dog Training has been helping dogs develop a delightful relationship with their Pet Parents since 1997 from our facilities in Scottsdale and Cave Creek, Arizona. Our experience is unparalleled in the industry. Foundation Camp helps with puppy manners, basic obedience, and common issues like pulling on leash, jumping on people, and not listening. If you need help with more difficult behaviors check out our Behavior Camp or Transform Camp. Not sure which program fits? Try our PD360 assessment or decision center.

Take The Quiz

How Does Board and Train Work?

1

Assessment + Check-in

  • At the beginning of Foundation Camp, we do an introductory lesson at our Scottsdale or Cave Creek facility.
  • 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.
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.
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.

What Happens After 14 Days at Foundation Camp

★★★★★

“Foundation Camp was exactly what our Golden Retriever, Biscuit, needed. After two weeks he came home heeling on leash, sitting and staying on command, and the jumping on guests was completely gone. The transition lessons made sure we could actually maintain everything — we’re not starting from scratch like we were before.”

– Melissa T.

★★★★★

“We enrolled our 8-month-old Aussie in Foundation Camp and couldn’t believe the results. She came back knowing Place, Come, and Down reliably — even with distractions in our Scottsdale neighborhood. The weekly demo sessions kept us in the loop and ready to take over when she graduated.”

– Derek A.

★★★★★

“I was skeptical about board and train but Partners completely won me over. Our Boxer mix had zero manners and now walks nicely on a loose leash every single morning. The Pet Parenting Group Classes after camp sealed the deal — we finally feel like we know what we’re doing.”

– Renata O.

Frequently Asked Questions

Foundation Camp is built for obedience, manners, and everyday behavior issues like pulling on leash, jumping on people, and not listening. Your dog will work on Heel, Sit, Down, Free, Stay, Come, Place, and Watch. If you need help with reactivity, anxiety, destructive behavior, or similar issues, Behavior Camp is the better fit. For severe aggression, multiple bites, or child reactivity, Transform Camp is the right path.

Choose Partners if you want a team with a long track record, a clear process, and honest guidance about fit. With more than 28 years of experience, we know when Foundation Camp is the right answer and when another program would serve you better. Not sure yet? Take the quiz for a fast recommendation.

For many families, Foundation Camp is worth it because it compresses months of inconsistent progress into a focused 14-night reset. You also leave with private lessons, group classes, and follow-through support so the work transfers home. See full pricing details and ask about financing if you need it.

Dogs sleep on raised Kuranda cots in either luxury suites or standard chain-link enclosures. We have 6x4 ft spaces for larger dogs and 4x4 ft spaces for smaller dogs, with clean water and regular rotations throughout the day. Foundation Camp is available at both our Scottsdale and Cave Creek locations.

Yes in Scottsdale, and Cave Creek has an owner living on the same property overnight. That gives both campuses an emergency response plan and active oversight.

Bring any food, medications, and essentials we specifically ask for. Bedding, toys, and most extras should stay home unless our team tells you otherwise. Have questions before check-in? Contact us and we will walk you through everything.
