Dog Training by PJ

I first went to PJs 13 years ago with my first goldendoodle. We started in the puppy social classes when he was 9 weeks old as he had his first set of shots. We went onto do 3 levels of classes with him. Classes were hands down the best investment we made for him, and he went on to live a wonderful fear-free life. I attribute his high quality of life to his basic training classes and the time we put in when he was a puppy. He learned from a very young age how to settle and be calm in lots of different situations. He learned to trust our directions which kept him safe. Puppy social is in my opinion one of the best classes to put a young puppy in. They get to meet other dogs and people in a safe environment, and the puppies teach each other soft bite and learn how to be social. We recently brought a new puppy into our lives. I love the structure of Pjs classes where your puppy is with the same dogs for the 6-week duration. The happy little puppies can all see each other during the class at Pjs, no barriers (unless required to reduce stress of the pet). I like the scaffolding approach that PJs classes offer. You build the dogs’ confidence and skills up in a logical way for them to learn. Plus, the puppies are all watching each other learn the same things. It’s adorable. Our new puppy has done several levels of classes at Pjs’ beautiful new facility in Sparks and HE LOVES IT. He just completed his AKC Canine Good Citizen, we can now consider therapy work down the road with him. He is so excited to get in the door for any play group I take him to and to his classes. We absolutely loved Rally O with Susie, she is amazing. We have referred Susie to friends with some rescues for consultations and they have been super happy. We will complete all the classes PJ dog training offers, because our dog just loves to learn, he really likes to use his brain. He exudes happiness when we get to class. Thank you, PJ and Susie, for helping us raise a happy confident dog yet again and offering such great classes. Highly recommend Pjs, they have so much experience and are CCPTD certified. They also give you time at the beginning of any class for a quick discussion on any “challenge areas”. You learn so much to help you understand your dog’s behavior. All classes use positive reinforcement. You learn to build a trusting relationship with your furry family members from a place of respect and love. The facility is always so clean, and they take excellent care in making sure your puppies are safe and not exposed to any bugs. We have never had any problems. 10 stars from us!!

Susie is knowledgeable, patient, friendly and professional. Great price for such great training. This is NOT the place for you if you want someone to train your dog for you, however. You need to do the work with the guidance of Susie.

I was very impressed with the direction we were given when we took our puppy to puppy kindergarten. Our puppy has taken to the commands very quickly. I am really confident in knowing that we are being given straight forward methods that really work. Our dog trainer, Susie, is wonderful!!! Highly recommend.

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.

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