American Dog Obedience Center is the premier dog training experience. What we do with the Beyond Results method astounds many of our clients. We use training to connect people to their dogs. Beyond the results of our training program are enhanced relationships between busy people and their dogs.

THE FAMILY DILEMMA
Most families, who certainly would cherish the companionship of a well-behaved dog, simply do not have the reserves of time or patience required to teach skills and behavior to a dog. You love your dog but his/her behavior causes you to feel stressed or angry, causing conflict. We understand! Although we love training dogs, we work for people. Dogs are, indeed, canines; but we feel that dogs are part of their human families, not the other way around.
THE REMEDY IS RIGHT HERE!
Your dog stays at our custom facility – indoors, in a spacious kennel (no, not in a crate) – as s/he learns and plays in a large scenic outdoor work area. Each dog receives results-based skills and behavior training with Kris Butler. Family participation is required for a “changeover” session that lasts about two hours, and then your dog returns home. Award-winning training enhances companionship between dogs and their humans. Each dog is part of a unique family. Our programs focus on your individual (yet, entire) family’s needs.
WE TAKE OUR TIME – AND DO IT RIGHT
When your dog is a minimum of 5 months old, we will consider a structured boarding school program. A basic course lasts 3 weeks and will include:
• Walking-on-leash manners
• Sit - sit when greeting you (rather than jumping on you), sit beside you at doors or gates until you give permission to come in or go out

• Come (off leash!!)
• Magic Carpet – staying on a rug that we furnish and you take back home with you. There are about a thousand troublesome things a dog can NOT do if s/he is staying on a magic carpet. For example, s/he can not jump on your company, beg at the table, get on the furniture, run through the house, dart out the door, or interfere with children as they play on the floor, if s/he is staying on a designated rug.
• Manners – not jumping on you, not chewing on you.
• Although we do not claim to be able to address every scenario, we can prepare families to require appropriate behaviors surrounding at-home issues. Feel free to discuss your concerns and needs with us. If we don’t feel we can address an issue, or meet your expectations, we will be honest with you.
We also offer optional Board and Train programs which, in addition to the basics described here, introduce dogs and their handlers to AGILITY and/or HUNTING RETRIEVER skills. Look for links to those pages in our main menu.
A full-time licensed kennel facility hosts our boarding school “students” and offers boarding services limited to former clients. Spacious indoor kennels and scenic outdoor work area are located on ten country acres in (east) Norman City Limits. Being just 8 miles south of I-40, off Choctaw Road (aka NE 120th in Norman), grants easy access to Norman and Oklahoma City families, and to those coming from out of state. Owners’ private home is on premises. Visits by appointment

RESULTS-BASED TRAINING AND BEYOND!
American Dog Obedience Center is the birthplace of Kris Butler’s Beyond Results Dog Training - an amazing method that allows people to easily (and without conflict) require at home those behaviors their dogs have learned at boarding school.
We want you to understand why your dog behaves the way s/he does, and how that behavior might best be enhanced (if the behavior is desirable) or replaced or eliminated (if the behavior is NOT desirable). It is reasonable for you to expect us to help you gain a thorough understanding of the methods and tools used to train your dog. But beyond methodology, you deserve results.
Results-based training means we expect your dog to DO what you ask. Methods and behavioral principles provide a valuable foundation; but the ultimate test of a trainer’s success is results – not theories. You’ll experience a happy, relaxed dog who is not experiencing physical force, choking or loud voices. Neither will you be required to resort to useless bribery, although we do reward appropriate behaviors generously. Beyond Results Dog Training is balanced, calming and, best of all, it is effective.
No dog is too old to learn, although habits and conditioning become harder to change as a dog grows older. Every dog requires understanding, patience and persistence on the human family's part. Even our wonderful program does not send home a “computerized” dog. A key element in the connection between people and their dogs is an effective way for busy families to require appropriate canine behaviors at home in the midst of the distractions and chaos we humans call “life.” Not only do we train dogs, but we also provide their human families with the tools they need to achieve success at home. Your dog will enjoy more freedom because you enjoy more control – on and off leash.
