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 SHOULD BE REPORTED!...This guy and his methods are a disaster and just wrong. A real trainer would never empower another dog to attack another. if you need help work your dog. ..seek out an IGP/ Schutzhund trainer....
Like Joel Beckman's training method of using a helper dog. Helped with socializing my dog to be around other dogs since he was abandoned at two weeks. We now participate in dog parties helping other rescues socialize.
I can't say enough about the work that Joel, Liz and the staff to to help people not only one- on- one at this facility with customized training, but also publishing universal methods on YouTube to help thousands of dog owners fix unwanted behavioral issues.

I can't say enough about the work that Joel, Liz and the staff to to help people not only one- on- one at this facility with customized training, but also publishing universal methods on YouTube to help thousands of dog owners fix unwanted behavioral issues. The cost is extremely reasonable for the services they provide, especially considering their location and all the investments and capital required to operate the board and train facility.
Joel and his staff do a great service in customizing training dogs to correct unwanted behavior, reactivity and aggression. Highly recommend.
