Working Street Corners With Duke Ferguson & Nitro. 2017 IACP After Hours

September 24, 2017 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

This is a fun, entertaining video someone recorded of Duke Ferguson working his Dog “Nitro” in the street corners of Missouri, USA.

Watch as Duke and Nitro have a blast working the crowds and how they make this look super easy and fun….BUT…here is a little secret!  Before you watch the video you should know one thing. Shhh!!

Many years ago before becoming a professional dog trainer, Duke Ferguson once had a dog he could not walk or take in to public because of behaviour issues and lack of knowledge in what to do.  YES! This is true!!

After working with several trainers and vet behaviourists with little-to-no success Duke noticed a huge difference and conflict in opinions and methods between trainers. He was even told by a “positive only” trainer to put his dog to sleep.

This was unacceptable advice and it motivated Duke to pursue his passion in training and working with animals.

Now, 30 years later with a ton of application and research, training thousands of dogs, traveling the world attending many dog training schools and training with many world class trainers he has acquired the skills to make things look easy.

If you’re struggling with your dog or you’re a professional dog trainer wanting to enhance your training skills then Unleashed Potential is a MUST to look in to.

Duke has Trainers in Canada and the USA to help you.

If there are no Unleashed Potential trainers in your area then you’re still in luck. Duke has an on-line dog training site called Dog Training Genesis. It covers everything form positive clicker training, leash work all the way over to remote collar “E-Collar” training.

If you have questions about finding a trainer, attending Duke’s Dog Trainer School or Dog Training Genesis videos contact us today!!
