The top-rated Dog Daycare for socialization, training, and fun in Arizona!
Is your dog getting the exercise, training, socialization, and mental stimulation they need? Bring your dog to Partners DaySchool for a fun-filled, active day and bring home a happy and pooped-out pooch! DaySchool is especially valuable for dogs dealing with overexcitement, fear of other dogs, or separation anxiety — the structured environment and daily training help address these behaviors over time. Partners DaySchool is a safe, entertaining, and nurturing experience. We combine both dog and human interaction with special games to create a powerful, educational experience for all. Our large indoor and outdoor play areas allow for a spacious place to run off that energy while providing a place to relax and stay cool!
Health and Safety
At Partners, the health and safety of your dog are our highest priority. We verify the vaccinations of each dog that comes to the school, have the strictest cleaning procedures of any facility in the valley, and include Pet CPR and Health training for all of our team members.
Obedience, Manners, and Temperament Tests
We take great care to ensure that every dog that comes into DaySchool is able to interact and play appropriately with the other guests. We group dogs by play style, size, and energy in order to create a positive experience for all. Of course, if our team does notice any inappropriate behavior, we will recommend training and behavior modification (at additional cost) to better prepare them for DaySchool.
Lowest Ratios, Highly Experienced Staff
Many Daycare facilities group 20–50 dogs to one person and incorporate minimal training for their team members. This creates a stressful, dangerous environment for dogs and staff alike. At Partners DaySchool, we maintain a 10:1 Dog to Trainer ratio and train our team rigorously to recognize and address complex dog behaviors, as well as deal with any emergencies calmly and effectively.
Services and Membership Options
We have many different service options such as training, treadmill, grooming, and more for our DaySchool dogs. We also incorporate a membership model for our DaySchool dogs in order to maintain consistency and ensure we are meeting goals from a training and manners perspective.
DaySchool memberships start at $199/month (Plus) | Premium $399/month | Platinum $599/month. Each tier includes progressively more training days, services, and perks. Compare membership tiers →

How DaySchool Works
Prep + Assessment
- Once your assessment is scheduled, we will send you access to our Pet Parent Portal in order to verify vaccinations and update information on you and your dog.
- Then, you’ll drop off your dog for our PD360 Assessment and we will begin the day!
- Over the course of the day (4+ hours) we will gauge their play style, obedience, and temperament in order to provide a program recommendation at pick-up.
- From there, you will purchase the recommended membership and set up any additional training for your dog.
DaySchool Training
- Next, you will bring your dog back for DaySchool.
- Throughout the day we will incorporate training, socialization, and enrichment activities in order to make progress with their obedience, manners, and temperament.
- Each dog is different, and we will work with you to establish goals and set a path to achieve them!
- At the end of each day, you will receive a Pupdate including what was worked on, what to maintain at home, and which furry friends they played with that day.
- We also try to include daily pictures and videos in their Adventure Albums!
- Once a week, you will accompany your dog for a Pet Parenting Class that is included in your membership.
Progress Tracking and Pupdates
- Weekly, we will check in with you and re-evaluate our goals to ensure we are still on track.
- This will also give you time to understand the training more and what to maintain at home.
- We will also discuss any equipment recommendations, and other programs you can partake in.
- Periodically, we will graduate your dog into the next Grade Level which will include new behaviors to learn while also reinforcing behaviors covered in previous Grade Levels.
- Remember, at Partners, our mission is to give every pet parent and their dog an extraordinary education and a lifelong, delightful relationship together.
What DaySchool Parents Are Saying
“Sophie has been going to DaySchool at Partners for two years now. She comes home tired, happy, and better behaved every single time. The structure and socialization have been incredible for her.”
– Ginny S.
“As a busy professional, DaySchool is the best decision I've made for my dog. He gets training, exercise, and social time while I work. It's not daycare — it's school, and the difference shows.”
– Marcus T.
“We tried three other daycares before Partners DaySchool. The difference is night and day. Our anxious rescue went from hiding under tables to confidently playing with other dogs within a month.”
– Rachel K.

Had a great experience? We'd love to hear about it.

The Dog School Bus picks up DaySchool members from neighborhood bus stops across Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and North Phoenix. It's a monthly add-on that eliminates the daily commute entirely.
Going Out of Town?
DaySchool members get priority boarding access at both locations. Your dog stays in the same facility they already know and love — with the same team, same routine, and optional training add-ons during their stay.
Arizona DaySchool Members — This One's Critical
Protect Your Dog in the Arizona Desert
If your dog spends any time outdoors in Arizona — on trails, in backyards, at parks — rattlesnakes are a real and present danger. The Sonoran Desert is home to multiple rattlesnake species, and encounters happen fast, often before you even see the snake.
Our Rattlesnake Avoidance training conditions your dog to recognize and actively avoid the sight, sound, and smell of a rattlesnake before a strike ever happens. It is one of the most practical and potentially life-saving training investments you can make as an Arizona dog owner.
- Proven avoidance conditioning using scent, sight, and sound
- Suitable for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments
- Especially recommended for active dogs and DaySchool members who spend time outdoors
- A single session that can prevent a $3,000–$10,000 emergency vet bill — or worse
Don't wait for a close call. Get your dog trained before hiking season arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Dogs should be at least 20 weeks old, but there is no maximum age and we accommodate all breeds, sizes, and temperaments.
No. Dogs do not have to be spayed or neutered to attend DaySchool. We do ask that dogs in heat stay home until that cycle is fully complete, and we may pause attendance if humping behavior becomes disruptive.
A DaySchool day includes structured training, recess, treadmill work, potty breaks, and rest. Dogs are grouped by play style, temperament, and training level so the day stays productive, safe, and appropriately social.
Dogs must have Bordetella, Rabies, and Distemper/Parvo vaccinations before attending. We can verify records with your vet, through the Pet Parent Portal, or by email, and all vaccines should be given at least one week before arrival.
DaySchool is available at both our Scottsdale and Cave Creek locations. Scottsdale is at 8642 E Shea Blvd in the Pima Crossing Center, and Cave Creek is at 4640 E Forest Pleasant Pl about 10 minutes north of the 101 and Cave Creek Rd.
DaySchool runs Monday through Friday from 7am to 6pm and Saturday from 8am to 4pm. If the drive is the hard part, ask about our Dog School Bus pickup service from stops across Scottsdale, Cave Creek, and North Phoenix.
For busy households, DaySchool is worth it because it combines structure, training, exercise, and routine into the workday. It is also one of the most effective long-term solutions for dogs with separation anxiety or overexcitement. See membership pricing or take the quiz to find the right plan for your dog.
