Transform Camp · Most Intensive
The 28-Night Aggressive Dog Training Camp for the Cases Others Refuse
You have been told your dog is hopeless, or you are terrified of the next incident. Before you give up, let us assess honestly what is possible, this is the most intensive program we offer, built for the dogs no one else will take.
Can a dog with a bite history really be helped?
Transform Camp is Partners Dogs' most intensive 28-night board-and-train, built for the severe cases other trainers refuse, multi-bite histories, bites toward family members, and outward, non-reactive aggression. A single reactive bite or a moderate case routes to Behavior Camp instead; Transform Camp is for dogs whose behavior is dangerous, not just frustrating. Every enrollment begins with a required PD360 assessment because not every dog is accepted, and we will tell you the realistic prognosis, some dogs are transformed, others significantly improved with lifelong management, and a few have limits training cannot move. Drawing on 28 years and 70,000+ dogs trained, the program pairs intensive daily rehabilitation with 7 hours of private lessons, 12 weeks of classes, and a management plan you can hold long-term.
Family-owned since 1997. 70,000+ dogs trained. 4.8 stars across roughly 2,000 reviews. Two Arizona campuses, Scottsdale and Cave Creek.

FOR THE HARDEST CASES
Other Trainers Gave Up. We Will Not.
You have heard the words no owner wants to hear: this dog is too much, we cannot help you, you should consider other options. Transform Camp is for the cases other trainers gave up on, aggression, bite history, severe fear and reactivity. Over four weeks of intensive, live-in work, we build the safety and structure that gives your family a real path forward.
Every Transform Camp Begins With PD360
Transform Camp begins with a PD360 assessment, no exceptions. Aggression and fear demand a plan built on a careful read of your dog. PD360 is $199, credited toward enrollment, and a dog showing aggression or fear can still enroll; that is exactly what this program is for.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Everything Transform Camp Includes
- 28 nights of all-day immersive training. Our most intensive program. The length is what serious aggression and fear cases require to change.
- A required PD360 assessment and custom plan. We scope the triggers, history, and risk, then build a safety-first plan around your dog.
- Private family lessons plus an in-home follow-up. We coach you where the behavior actually happens, not just on campus.
- 24 DayCamp reinforcement days. Extended, trainer-led follow-up so the new patterns hold under real-world pressure.
- 12 Pet Parenting group classes. Structured, supervised practice around other dogs and people.
- A video demo, two working demos, and a transition lesson. You see the change and learn to manage it safely.

WHY PARTNERS
Built for the Cases No One Else Will Take
28 years and 70,000+ dogs. Family-owned since 1997, with a combined century of experience. We take the cases most schools turn away.
Senior trainers on the hardest dogs. Aggression and severe fear are handled by our most experienced team, with safety protocols throughout.
Honest about fit and risk. PD360 gives you a straight answer about what is possible before you commit to the program.
Management is a long-term commitment. We are upfront that these cases require ongoing structure, and we build your ability to provide it.
HOW IT WORKS
How Transform Camp Works
Assessment and check-in. Your PD360 maps the aggression or fear, the triggers, and the history. At check-in we confirm vaccinations, finalize the safety plan, and align on realistic goals.
Training and demos. Your dog works intensive daily sessions with senior trainers. You attend demos, including two working demos, so you learn to read and handle your dog under controlled conditions.
Transition, including in your home. Beyond the campus transition lesson, we include an in-home follow-up so the management plan works in the place it matters most.
THE OUTCOME
What Becomes Possible After Transform Camp
- A safer home. Clear structure and management that lowers the risk and the daily stress.
- Triggers under control. You learn to anticipate the moments that used to escalate and steer your dog through them.
- A path forward. Instead of out of options, you have a plan, the skills, and our ongoing support.

OUR COMMITMENT
Our Commitment to You and Your Dog
Safety first, always. Senior-trainer handling, strict protocols, vaccinations verified, and pet CPR trained staff.
You stay in the loop. Working demos and progress updates so you understand the plan and your role in it.
Watched over around the clock. Low staff-to-dog ratios, overnight on-site staff in Scottsdale, and an owner living on the Cave Creek property.
We do not stop at pickup. The in-home follow-up and follow-up school are built in because management is a long-term commitment, and you are not in it alone.
THE SMART MOVE
Members Pay Far Less
The best-value move: pair camp with a membership. If you enroll in a Plus, Premium, or Platinum membership, two things happen:
- Your membership already covers the follow-up school (24 DayCamp Days, a $2,249 value), so you don't pay for it inside camp.
- You also get an extra member discount, 10% (Plus), 20% (Premium), or 30% (Platinum), on the camp itself.
Net effect: Transform Camp w/ Suites effectively comes out to about $5,472 with Plus, $5,016 with Premium, or $4,630 with Platinum, instead of $8,929, and you keep the ongoing membership benefits afterward. It's the most bang for your buck.
Not Sure Transform Camp Is the Fit?
Transform Camp and Aggression Rehabilitation share the same goal, a safer dog. If you are weighing options, or unsure whether your dog's case fits here, PD360 gives you an honest answer first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Transform Camp only for aggressive dogs?
It is built for the most severe cases, multi-bite histories, bites toward family members, and outward, non-reactive aggression. Single reactive bites and moderate behavior issues are better served by Behavior Camp, and your PD360 assessment confirms which level your dog actually needs.
What happens if my dog doesn't improve, and is there a guarantee?
We never promise a cure. We give the realistic prognosis at PD360, some dogs are transformed, others significantly improved with lifelong management, and a few have limits training cannot move, and not every dog is accepted into the program.
How is Transform Camp different from Aggression Rehabilitation?
Both serve severe cases. Transform Camp is the 28-night camp format with a set inclusion package; Aggression Rehabilitation is the bite-history specialty with an extended, case-specific timeline and lifetime handler support. PD360 determines which path fits.
