WHY PARTNERS DOGS
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.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO WORK ON?
Every Partners program runs at our Scottsdale campus. Choose the path that fits your dog, or talk to a trainer and we will help you decide.
BUILT FOR ARIZONA
Scottsdale is one of the best places in the country to own a dog, if your dog is ready for it. Picture calm weekend walks on the Greenbelt, a quiet down-stay at a Kierland patio, steady leash manners on McDowell Sonoran Preserve trails, and easy evenings at Chaparral Park. That is the life we train for, and it is why families choose a school that trains dogs for Arizona instead of a generic program.
Living here also comes with desert realities. Rattlesnakes, javelina, coyotes, and serious summer heat are part of the deal, and a trained dog is a safer dog. Our rattlesnake avoidance training teaches your dog to recognize the scent, sound, and sight of a snake and move away on their own. It is one of the simplest ways to protect your dog's life in Arizona.
LUXURY BOARDING
Five-star luxury suites for boarding guests, with climate control, daily enrichment, and an owner on site overnight. Members save every time they board, train, and play, and earn spend credits toward DaySchool and DayCamp. Dogs in training have their progress synced so every visit builds on the last.
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
Take an inside look at our Scottsdale campus. The tour walks you through our facilities and introduces the team, so you can see how much we love dogs before you ever visit. After watching, we hope you will come see for yourself why we are the highest rated dog training school in the Southwest.
