Tools VS Methods! Why Banning Tools is Irresponsible.  Duke Addresses Professional Dog Trainers and Pet Owners at his Workshop in Monroe, WA USA, and World Wide.

In today’s society, too many people are getting training tools mixed up with methods.  Some people falsely believe “tools” such as E-collars, slip collars, and pinch collars are abusive and should be banned….this could not be further from the truth. Good dog training needs relevant consequences both pleasant and unpleasant. That’s just life baby! The one-sided extremism mindset, bullying, and fighting between trainers need to stop! Banning tools is Irresponsible and unacceptable and does not work.

Education is most important!

In this video, Duke Ferguson Addresses Professional Dog Trainers and Companion Pet Owners at the workshop and worldwide! Opening people’s eyes to reality. A must-see video!  Educate – Yes! Ban – Hell No!

Duke Ferguson: Teaching a Submissive Dog Self Control While Building Hope and Desire

By Leave a Comment

Duke Ferguson Coaching New UPK9 NJ Trainers How to Teach a Submissive Dog Self Control While Building Hope and Desire Using E-Collar and Positive Rewards.

Despite what some people may say about using food in dog training, It does not have to amp the dog up. Food used with the right method can calm a dog OR amp up a dog…It’s all on how you use the food and what your goals is!  Food is just a tool used in a  process!

Despite what some people may say about  E-Collars being inhumane and ruining dogs or making them scared and submissive, E-Collars can be used with the right method on submissive and fearful dogs to help them focus and be calm as well as motivate and encourage the dog to go, go, go.  Its all on how you use the e collar and what your goal is!   E-Collar is just a tool used in a process.

It is also false statements and beliefs that people who use e collars do not use positive reinforcement.

Tools Are Not Methods and Methods are Not Tools!!

Hosted by John Sparks of Sparks K9 Services!! Join Duke Ferguson for a 3-day dog training workshop located at Sparks K9 Services Training Centre in Monroe, WA & learn how to get the very best out of your dog.

 

I am super pumped to work with you! I have spent the past 31 years studying dog training methods and applications from some of the best dog trainers and schools around the world and continue to do so. Incase you did not know, I am also a  Dog Business Consultant, Mentor, Teacher & Coach to many great professional dog trainers around the world and I want to share with you the secrets to my training success.

You can see My bio HERE

Come and learn a modern day, real world, balanced approach that is based on science, mother nature and creativity. Learn to get your dog to respond to you with heart and soul, learn the NePoPo® way!

Imagine what it would be like to have your dog learn to love paying attention and responding to you no matter what, no matter where. What would that be like for you?

Who can attend this workshop?   Professional companion dog trainers & service dog trainers, rescue groups, volunteers & fosters, dog walkers, boarding and training daycare workers, k9 handlers & dog sport enthusiasts who want to better their knowledge and skills and have the dogs perform at a higher level. I also welcome companion pet owners who are in need of help fixing undesired behaviours and who want to decrease stress, and liability in their life.

There are no special audit spots or working spots so everyone is welcome to bring their dog as this will be a hands on workshop. If you choose not to bring a dog that is fine, you will still have a chance to do some hands on….even if you’re training a human 😉

All breeds and behaviour issues are welcome….including aggression. (muzzles are required for any reactive or aggressive dogs).

“Preparation Homework”  IMPORTANT NOTE!!
ALL DOGS MUST BE HUNGRY, MOTIVATED AND WILLING TO WORK!
All who are attending should watch this 6 video mini series to prepare for this event at the link below.

Free Mini Video Series Sign up.

 Remember to bring regular meals and rewards of high value like treats and a favourite toy.

The workshop may be called  “The Art of Attention” and the group focus exercise on day two is just one fun helpful thing we do to get serious attention and control when needed for safety and sanity reasons…BUT…it’s not just about having the dog look at you.   This workshop is so much more than that.
  • It’s teaching you a complete system that creates harmony, clear communication, ignition, hope and a love for all behaviours the dog is to perform for you.
  • It’s about you learning to successfully condition the dog to willingly and eagerly pay attention to you and what you want the dog to do while giving you heart and soul.
  • It’s about learning to condition automatic responses and having the dog think and make wise choices.
  • It’s teaching you a powerful system that enables you to get the most from your dog with the least amount of effort. This system is the reason I named a series of  You Tube videos on Unleashed Potential K9 TV “The Lazy Dog Trainer”.
  • It’s about teaching you how to build an amazing relationship between you and your dog.
  • It’s about having life changing experiences, ah-ha moments, taking the system home and implementing it in daily life.

What will you be Learning at the Art of Attention Workshop? 

  • Understand why dogs do what they do, how they do it and what we need to do about it to help the dog find its advantage.
  • Learn the NePoPo® recipe and tools used.
  • Understand clear communication and establishing it with the dog.
  • 3 keys of training and shaping behaviours.
  • Pros & cons of positive training.  Pros and cons of using pressure, corrections and punishment.
  • Charging marks, free shaping vs luring and hands-on training exercises with people and then dogs.
  • E-collar conditioning and working hands on with people then dogs.
  • Understanding behaviours as well as how to shape and modify them.
  • One-on-one work with your dog and me.
  • Group work adding distractions.

I fully understand that all people & dogs who are attending will have different levels of experience, different behaviour issues and different goals. I will be sure to work at everyone’s individual level and adjust the training recipe according to each persons and dogs needs.

In past workshops I have trained everything from deaf dogs, blind dogs, children and dogs, older dogs, puppies, people in wheelchairs and those who have other disabilities.
