We have scoured youtube -video after endless dog-training video- and have always come back to Mr. Beckman's method of training. We see that he is honest & straightforward, and yes, occasionally blunt & direct. I see it's about trying to fix a dog's behavior w/ the least amount of time being wasted. And getting the Owners to themselves learn how to be a Dog-Teacher & responsible dog-owner, too.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Our 11 mo. Schnauzer reacts towards males, when we are on walks and he sees one approaching alone, he will bark and pull. But If the person is with a pet, he does not care. Do you have any videos or advise on how to handle this situation? Thank you!
You’d deal with it the same as any leash reactivity. I’ve got lots of videos on that on my YouTube

He puts other peoples dogs at risk for clout chasing on social media. Terrible trainer
Met with Joel as a last minute appraisal appointment for my dog Nala. He was very knowledgable & had the confidence to make Nala & myself very comfortable. Very pleased with just this one encounter. Look up his page on YouTube for some great how to video's tips.
Joel Beckman's dog training procedures work great
The facility is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and they get the job done. I just wish they had a location closer to me, but it was worth the drive
