About the Business

The American School of Dog Obedience Inc. is a renowned institution located at 3701 Wegis Avenue, Bakersfield, California, United States. Founded in 1971 by Harlan Broat, author of the popular text "Group Training for Dogs" and former host of the radio talk show "Dog Talk," the institution offers complete obedience training using gentle methods. With a focus on praise, exercise, and discipline, the school aims to bring dogs under their owner's control and promote a happier and more enjoyable pet.
The facility also offers boarding services for trained or currently trained pets, providing a safe and comfortable environment for them to play and interact with other dogs. With a training methodology that has been successful on over 30,000 dogs, the American School of Dog Obedience guarantees results and emphasizes the importance of patience and diligence in mastering a dog's temperament.
The institution does not use clickers or punishment during training, instead focusing on developing a leadership role in the dog's mind through communication and gentle guidance. Programs include teaching both the owner and the dog, ensuring that the pet respects and obeys their owner. Sessions vary in length depending on the needs of the pet and owner, with a commitment to effective and principled training methods.
For those looking to enroll their dog in obedience training, The American School of Dog Obedience is the place to call.
Reviews
"Could not have asked for a kinder and more qualified trainer than Julie. She is very competent and knows how to bond with dogs,at least with mine! Her style and methods are easy to learn. Making practice and success achievable. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone needing obedience training for their dog."
"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!"
"I met Harlan about 46 years ago when he was in North Hollywood. I trained with him on and off for twenty years. He's the best dog trainer I've ever known and over the years I met quite a few. He taught me everything I ever learned in obedience. Thanks to Harlan, I've been to not only train in obedience but have gone on to successfully trained mobility and hearing alert service dogs. And Julie is wonderful too."
