American School Of Dog Obedience Inc.

Never attended. Extremely Rude customer service. WAS going to reschedule when I couldn’t make my appointment but instead of making sure my dog or myself were alright, they just shortly said we’ll cancel it and immediately hung up before I could even ask about rescheduling or if there was a chance I could come observe the training style. Initial call when I made the appointment just sounded like the guy had no patience for people with too many questions about their vaguely described training style. I was interested in learning, guess I’ll never know. Way to hang on to customers!

They went above and beyond for our dog! He was awful around other dogs, not aggressive just crazy/uncontrollable hyper, our trainer Julie kept working with us until he showed improvements. I am really impressed with the level of customer service we were shown. They also do boarding. We have not boarded our dogs with them yet but I would feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with them if we ever went out of town they are very professional and really know what they are doing.

We had a wonderful experience with Harlan and his wife and the other trainers at American School of Dog Obedience! I have a 1.5 year old border collie mix we adopted from a rescue who needed the basic "manners" course. She is really smart - and we were debating "training" her ourselves (ha!), but I am so happy I found them, since I am in LA and they usually work by word of mouth. They even give a discount to people coming from LA to account for gas, which I found to be really gracious. Harlan and the method he uses to train is NOT cruel (no "jerk method!" like the 1-star review below states!) Their method is too complex to get into on a Google review, but I want to say that Suzy (my dog) is very sensitive, and she did not come home with any fear - she was just trained! Harlan also goes to great length to teach us, the owners, how to reinforce the training so she does not become "un-trained". Also, their training is lifetime guaranteed! I could tell she had a positive experience there and just the fact that they trained her to walk on a leash PERFECTLY (she was like a demon-dog pulling with all her might before) is testament enough! I will be bringing Suzy back to them if we ever need boarding in the future as well! Thanks, Harlan!
