I was with my dogs (off leash. Both serch dog. well trained.) in office space area at 8pm. There was nobody all time. All the sudden, a lady came from office and took video tape of my dogs, and gone ( by her car ). I wonder do I get any troble?

Yes, there is a leash law in Reno, but I doubt it would apply inside an office building. Frankly, I'd be way more worried about some unknown person coming into my office space. Why didn't you call the police?
Most cities have leash laws, and Reno falls within the Washoe County ordinances which do require proper restraint (see below). And it's always the best practice to properly restrain your pet to prevent injury, no matter how well behaved your pet is.
Here's the Washoe County ordinance for restraining animals:
55.100 Restraining animals.
1. In the congested areas of the county, every person who is the owner of or has the care, custody or control of any cow, dog, goat, horse, ox, poultry, rabbits or any rodent, sheep, swine or exotic animal, has an absolute duty to keep the same upon the premises under the control of such person, restrained by a fence, cage, coop, chain, leash or other adequate means so that the animal shall not leave the premises upon which it is kept.
2. In the congested areas of the county, it is unlawful for the owner of any dog to allow the dog to be in a public park unless the dog is on a leash. This provision does not apply to special areas that may be designated for training programs, dog shows or dog parks.
3. It is unlawful for any person to bring an animal into the area designated for a special event when the event has been posted as “no animals allowed”. This provision does not apply to guide dogs, hearing dogs and helping dogs assisting handicapped persons.
[§12, Ord. No. 1207]
