Class Schedules

Each class listed runs on the same day and time until class is complete.  Class size is limited, so early registration is encouraged. 

Once you've selected and registered for class ~ please plan to attend each session on the same day through the last day of class. Although each session should be attended, missing one class will not harm your dog's education. Depending on the time of year there may be a skip date because of holidays. You, your dog and, if you wish, other family members attend class and actually learn something each session. Please review the class descriptions, dates, pre-requisites and class requirements listed after class description.

TO REGISTER: Please either call the Center at 775-828-0748 OR send an e-mail to: Dale Rands, ABCDT, CPDT-KA (sunny-sierra@msn.com) or PJ Wangsness, PDT, CPDT-KA (pjtrainer@sbcglobal.net). In your email please include your name, class choice, dog's name and phone number. You'll receive a confirmation for your class selection, information for what you'll need for your class and a Dog History Form you will need to complete, sign and bring to your first class.

Should you reach our voicemail it is either after hours or we are on the training floor. We will return your call promptly or as soon as we are able. We are here to assist you, if you wish, you may come talk to us at various locations throughout the community.

Your dog will thank you for helping him learn English as his second language. Your dog will also become a wonderful mannered dog when you take the time to teach them what you wish. Join a class today ~ you will not regret it!

At Dog Training by PJ we use Stella & Chewy Dinners as small reinforcers (treats) for dogs! We've not had many dogs refuse to earn this wonderful reinforcer! You can find these awesome dinners for use as training treats (reinforcers) at Scraps Dog Company and Discount Pet Supply.  Great reinforcers help increase the likelihood of good results!
