Dog Training By Pj

I went through the entire adolscent class. Meet once a week for a couple of months. They send you home with several pages of homework every week. If you do not have enough brain power to figure out how to make a dog sit with a smelly treat in your hand, then I do recommend this adolescent class. Otherwise figure something else out, because this will not solve your dog obedience issues.

Absolutely would recommend them for puppy play time and Puppy Kindergarten! My pup has learned so much and loves puppy play time. We just finished up Level 1 and I already signed her up for level 2. Susie makes it easy to understand how to train the right way and is encouraging when things get frustrating. I get compliments already on how smart little Phoebe is! Can't wait for the next level!

Very knowledgeable trainers who give clear instructions. Weekly classes of six weeks each. They email handouts to be printed on all the different aspects of training and commands.

Susie is great! Can't wait to get our pup all trained up the right way. Love the way she teaches which makes it easy to follow.

Had a great learning experience with Susie. Duke has really learned to socialize and learn some commands. Susie gave us the tools to teach Duke. We highly recommend. She answered all our questions for being 1st time puppy and dog owners.

I have done their great, reasonably priced group classes with my pup. It is the best and safest thing we did to socialize him while he was still getting his vaccines. He is currently in his second class here and he loves it. Susie has been our instructor and the pup just goes crazy (in a good way) as soon as he sees her. She passes along a lot of useful info during each class and has been helpful in answering this first-time owner's questions.

Had our first class last Sunday. The class was great, Susie was our trainer. She was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot from her. Can't wait for the next class.

I am thrilled with PJ's dog training! After just two classes my dog has learned so much and the trainers are awesome and gentle to both the canine and the owner. I really appreciate that because I don't feel like I'm being critiqued.

Our experience was awesome. Lots of help in between classes. Took full advantage of every opportunity and worked with our dog during the week. Enjoyed the staff and class sizes.

We took our puppy(Whiskey) to the 6 week puppy basics class. Was a good value for $120. We learned lots and had fun. Susie was our trainer and she was very knowledgeable and helpful. She took time with each family and puppy throughout the sessions and made sure to answer our questions. It was fun to see all the puppy's learn and grow throughout the sessions.

It seemed as though mostly larger breeds dog attend since out of 8 or 9 we had the only small dog but we were glad to have the opportunity to have our little guy be around big dogs in a safe environment. They offer many other classes and playgroups and reasonable prices and we will be sure to go back to learn more.

I would recommend PJ's for the puppy playtime, and then again for the classes. The playtime is crucial for puppies, and I am so happy that PJ's offers such an amazing environment. I have brought my Aussie, Tumble, since he turned 8 weeks old and have seen such a massive change in him. When he first came to playtime, he was very shy and hid between my legs, now he happily trots around, greets people, and will play with some of the lower/moderate energy dogs (he isn't much of a high energy player, but loves to run).

The trainer in charge of playtime, always Susie in my experience, calmly watched everything and does a great job at explaining behaviors to everyone. I am only in one class right now, the puppy kindergarten with Susie, and am very happy with it. I have learned some alternative ways to train things such as "leave it", and it has given Tumble the chance to learn in a more distracting environment. I think I will look into agility classes when he gets a bit older because he showed some aptitude for it in a workshop also hosted by PJ's.

I rescued a dog from PJ 8 years ago (Chip). He is very special needs. PJ kept in touch with me and helped me through dealing with such a broken spirited dog. I got another dog and was being very possessive and attaching my Chip. So as usual, Pam is always willing to talk to me and give advice on dealing with different behaviors. Well this last one was such a success, I have to share the outcome of her expertise and able to help without me driving 100+ miles. Her knowledge and compassion is the best I have seen. Thank you Pam for being there for me. Patti

Susie is amazing! She came to visit our pups and help us get some training tips! She is so great with dogs! After meeting with her at our house we decided to sign our 2 dogs up for training, so glad we did! I definitely recommend her services to anyone in need of help with their dog training!

We took a puppy kindergarten class with Susie. It is a basic commands class. This class helped our Frankie get out of her shell and learn how to play with other dogs. She is still working on the things taught, but once mastered we will be taking another class! I really enjoyed that at the beginning of each class Susie asked what we were struggling with and gave us tips on how to make it work!

Susie is fantastic! We all love her and her method of training. She was recommended by our vet and we couldn't be happier. The play days are wonderful as well! Thanks Susie!

I have taken 2 of my lab puppies here, PJ and Suzie are both amazing dog trainers. They are very friendly and can help you build a special connection with your pups. My youngest lab went to puppy kindergarten and brilliant buddies there by 4 months old. She is now 6 months and no longer requires a crate and can be left home overnight with her 2 dog brothers without destroying the house. Suzie and PJ make you feel empowered to take control and have an obedient pup that you can count on to love you forever.

Susie was absolutely great and helping starting the training of my puppy Juniper. She uses a group setting with multiple other dogs and manages to still maintain control over all of them! I was recommended by a close friend who trained her puppy as and I highly recommend her to help with anything your dog might need. They offer multiple types of classes for all age group that are affordable and taught by true certified experts! Don't forget you have to put in the effort also, she gives you a great soild platform to teach your dogs how to be even better than they already are!

Dog training by Pj is amazing! Our golden absolutely loved going to class every weekend and PJ was available for any questions we had during the week. I would highly recommend Dog training by PJ to anyone and we are so excited to start our next class! You learn the basics to fun tricks with your puppy. It was amazing and I can't say enough good things about it!

Not very impressed. I have a barking dog. I felt very stressed. Didn't get it. Classes are to big and the training room floor is filthy. No refund after 2 classes. I think it takes 2 classes to figure out if it's going to be a good fit. No refunds and no makeup classes. Not impressed.

PJ has a great training program and her experience can guide you through any challenge you may encounter. We love saturday play group.

She is very very knowledgeable about dogs, so far we are seeing good results with our little guy.

I am a little short on time but I want to still say that we have been using Susie with Dog Training By PJ for 7 weeks now. She has turned our scared, problematic puppy into a happy well behaved (Mostly) puppy. She uses positive reinforcement ONLY. Which has had the most incredible results. She has several different certifications and has a solution for every problem that I have seen arise.

Our puppy was four moths old when we got him. He had never been out of the kennel and did not know how to go to the restroom outside. He had sever separation anxiety as well. He has not had an accident inside in three weeks and his anxiety is quickly subsiding. It has only been seven weeks and he has completely blossomed. We started with Puppy basics course one and upon graduating signed up for the step two course.

The prices are VERY reasonable. I feel like I received a lot for my money. Truthfully, she has trained us as pet parents the proper way to help our puppy grow and learn. Ronald "Reagan" is an amazing creature and we are so thankful for Susie for helping us unlock his potential.

So far so good we took our pup to puppy play she loved it there are a lot of other breeds of dog for our dog to get friendly with. Only issue I had is only one staff member to supervise all the pups who basically said just keep an eye on your own dog for any issues. Other than that very friendly.

Dog Training by PJ is by far the most amazing place to take your pups. However, to this day, I really think it should be "Human training by PJ" because in all honesty, I think I was the one who needed the training to understand dogs. We went to our first class just over 3 years ago with our German Shepherd mix, Chimmy. He started off with puppy kindergarten, then moved onto brilliant buddies, rally-o 1 and 2, dance, agility, CGC prep class and his CGC test.

Plus several other workshops thrown in there. He had classes from both PJ and Christina and totally loves them. We would say "lets go to school" and he would get super excited. He is amazing, well socialized and an amazing companion. Then, last summer we rescued a stray dog from the humane society. We don't have a full history on her before we got her but you can tell that she just never learned to be a dog.

She has many quirks and does strange things, however, we enrolled her into the adolescent class with Christina. It helped us understand her and she also learned her basic commands. It is amazing how that class alone helped her build the confidence that she did not have when we adopted her. She went from a scared pup to enjoying doing tricks by free shaping.

The best part about these classes, they use positive reinforcement. You will see no shock collars, prongs, "Alpha dog" punishments, etc. Just a loving way to build confidence. You will love the classes and so will your pups!

I have a mini Aussie named Taggart. We took him for training elsewhere and it was long, drawn out, and very basic. Then we went to PJ. We learned a ton on how to train him and we've had spectacular results. Taggart is a model citizen. He's really polite on a leash. He listens and does well on all of his commands including stop, sit, wait, and stay. He also does amazing tricks like spin left, spin right, spin the other way, roll over, belly crawl, hands up. I'm very happy with the results PJs helped us achieve.

When I first got my puppy he was very skittish of people to the point where my vet said she was worried about it. Her assistant referred me to PJ's and I'm so glad she did. Socializing a puppy is really hard for the first few weeks before they are fully vaccinated, you can't take them anywhere for fear that they will get parvo. I started taking Rush to PJ's puppy play groups and after 2 sessions his attitude did a complete 180.

He loves going there now and it totally wears him out which is a plus for us. He also did the 6 week puppy training course with Christina and they were amazing! Very informative and fun! Can't wait to sign him up for brilliant buddies. Keep up the good work! You guys rock!

My puppy and I attended the level one 6 week class and learned a lot while having a ton of fun! We are sad it's over but looking forward to taking more classes! Highly recommend!

You will get more than your money's worth from PJ's puppy training course. The weekly, hour-long sessions are informative and fun. But the added value comes in weekly email participants receive, which includes multiple videos and homework. We moved to Reno from the Washington, DC area where this type of training costs nearly $1,000. (I know because I looked around for training while we lived there.) PJ has a great sense of humor and sunny approach to puppy training. I'm grateful to have so many resources I'll be able to refer to once the course ends. I highly recommend this course for puppies.

We researched quite a few dog training facilities in the Reno/Sparks area before choosing Dog Training with PJ and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We are learning the tools we need to train our toy poodle using positive reinforcement and are having great results. No intimidation, scare tactics or shock collars here! Our puppy gets excited when it's time do practice his "lessons" and it has been a great bonding experience.

The cost is reasonable and the group class sizes are small enough to get personalized instruction and questions are always welcomed. Each class is followed by an email with exercises to practice at home and links to additional reputable information and videos online.
