UPK9 PEI: Puppy Management Class Testimonial

Posted on Friday, April 27th, 2012

My husband and I have been in puppy class now for 3 weeks and we look forward to it every week! It is a lot of fun for the people and the puppies! When we first started molly was shy of other dogs and extremely timid of any dog or puppy but now she nearly runs through the door to get to the other puppies the socialization she gets at class has really changed her personality in such a positive way, molly learns new things every class. The things Duke teaches are really helpful and work wonders every time we leave class we feel relief like we are on the right path. Puppies are a lot of work and they can be frustrating but with the tools we learn at puppy class we apply it and makes life easier.. Puppy class is great for anyone wanting to socialize your dog and get them the right head start in life which every  dog deserves i would highly recommend unleashed potentials puppy class you wont be disappointed!!

Proven Results!! Another Husky Comes When Called With Help From a Unleashed Potential Dog Trainer, Dog Training Testimonial

Proven Results!! Another Husky Comes When Called With Help From a Unleashed Potential Dog Trainer, Dog Training Testimonial

 

 

 

Another Happy Client in just One dog training  Lesson with Unleashed Potential!

Check out this Testimonial for one of our UPK9 Dog trainers Ted Efthymiadis!

Hi my name is John and I wanted to share a little about my unbelievable experience while training with Unleashed Potential dog training service in Halifax.

I recently adopted a seven year old Husky from a Husky rescue organization in Nova Scotia. The rescue organization told me when I adopted her that she was a lead dog on a sled team. This has made it impossible to walk her.

Regardless of what method or tools I used, I could not seem to stop her from pulling. I even tried a gentle leader that came highly recommended by a local pet store, however this actually seemed to make her pull even worse. No matter what I tried she would pull me, like she was pulling a sled.

After just ONE lesson with Ted, a professional dog trainer from Unleashed Potential, I now have the problem 95% under control.

We are very happy with the service, this has allowed us to enjoy our dog more fully, and we highly recommend Ted and Unleashed Potential to anyone we can!!

Dogs With Kids – Free Tips From Unleashed Potential K9

I am often asked what is the best breed of dogs for children. My answer is plain and simple. “There is no Perfect Breed of dog for children”. You can have 10 dogs of the same breed and the all have different temperaments.Some will be suitable and some will not. A Pit Bull can make just as good of a companion pet as a Golden Retriever or a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel so this is not a breed specific issue.

Keep one thing in mind as it is very important to know,  There is no such thing as a dog that will not bite All dogs can and will. Some dogs have short fuses and some are very tolerant but All DOGS CAN BITE!  Some can bite harder than others but ALL DOGS CAN BITE!

Now that you have this understood , I’m going to list some tips you should look at when looking for a dog for kids and when you have a dog with kids.

1. What is the best age for a child to have a dog ? This is a personal preference. There is no best age just like there is no best breed, I have had a variety of dogs before I had children so I have brought my babies home with the presence of  dogs already there,  as well as having new dogs young and old coming and going from our house where I have 3 children. The kids were at all stages of life when this was happening with all kinds of breeds.

First consider this, your time commitment, how active your family is, and your child’s demeanor.  Ask yourself:  How much time can you commit to a dog at the moment and how would your child be with a dog? Is your child quiet and calm or a energetic, wild, rough, tumble weed? This is important to think about and will help you make an educated decision not an emotional one that you might regret later. Pick your dog by its temperament according to your child’s temperament. A hyper, rough child should not have a soft timid dog. A calm, shy child should not have a energetic, pushy dog.

I can suggest from experience, like a human baby, dogs are a lot of work. It is much easier to get a dog when the children are past the baby stage and they can take direction from you while safely interacting with a dog and be of some help in training and looking after a dog.

2. Education… It is most important that your children be taught how to safely interact with dogs to prevent stressing a dog or pushing the limits and challenging a dog just as dogs need to learn how to interact around children.  The older the child is the better they will be at interacting with the dog and being able to build the proper relation ship as well as training and care.

3. Obedience training your dog is essential. Get advice from a certified and experienced canine professional or trainer like an Unleashed Potential K9 trainer. Don’t just pick the first trainer or behaviorist you call. Meet with a few and interview them and ask for references. Talk to your vet on who they recommend.  Have your children involved in the training while you supervise.

3. SUPERVISE CHILDREN AND DOGS AT ALL TIMES NO MATTER WHAT!!  This is a must for the safety of the dog and the child and is your responsibility.
