While receiving an exotic animal education and training degree from Moorpark College, Joel Beckman devoted several years to training, caring for and performing with big cats, monkeys, camels, birds and many other exotics. At this one of a kind animal program Joel learned about conservation, educating the public, veterinary practices, proper cleaning procedures, animal ethics, entertainment and of course animal training. This experience led to Joel’s next position as a Killer Whale trainer at a world famous theme park in San Diego, California. This job not only allowed Joel to train and perform with Killer Whales, but it’s also where Joel met the love of his life. Joel uses positive reinforcement training. This is the preferred method for most marine mammal trainers, big cat trainers, therapy dog trainers, agility trainers, search and rescue trainers and many other animal training professionals.
Joel Beckman has developed a one of a kind unique dog training program that’s derived from his diverse education, training and employment. With a deep profound love for dogs, and more than five years of Killer Whale training experience, Joel decided to bring his knowledge and expertise to training dogs. Joel is the most knowledgeable and skilled animal training professional in the San Diego area. He is an expert on animal aggression and has a deep passion for animal training.
Liz Beckman
Growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, Liz Beckman began a love for animals that has guided her life and grown into her passion of training dogs to reach their true potential. Liz feels truly blessed to have realized one of her lifetime dreams when she had the honor of training and performing with killer whales, dolphins and pilot whales for 10 years. Liz feels so fortunate that she and her husband Joel shared such a rare opportunity training killer whales and she enjoys that they continue to work side by side along with their talented team of dog trainers. Liz would share with you that, “We consider it a privilege to care for such special members of your family and we really value the close relationship we’ve developed with many of our clients since bringing our skills to the dog training community in 2007.
Bosco
Though he passed away in the Fall of 2018, Bosco will forever be a part of our team. Bosco helped build Beckman’s Dog Training to be what it is and was one of our most valuable trainers. He enjoyed playing with and training all of the other dogs. His main job was to help Joel and the staff with fearful and reactive dogs. He took his job seriously and loved it. He went everywhere with Joel when weather permits. Bosco worked with thousands of dogs and knows how to make even the most fearful dog feel at home. Beckman’s Dog Training wouldn’t be the same company without him. We were very blessed to have him as a part of our team.
