Proven Results!! Siberian Husky trained to walk nicely on a leash with UPK9: Testimonial

Proven Results!! Siberian Husky trained to walk nicely on a leash with UPK9: Testimonial

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

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

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

I recently adopted a seven year old Siberian 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, 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  Unleashed Potential to anyone we can!!

Proven Results: Only One Dog Training Lesson With Unleashed Potential

February 7, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

I always Love to see the look on peoples faces when they come for their first lesson and they are amazed in how much success they get in just the first 10 – 20 minutes especially if they have seen other dog trainers. It is a part of my job that I love!

Here is an email I got from our last nights lesson. See below:

“Last night was our first dog training lesson at Unleashed Potential K9 training In Stratford PEI with Duke Ferguson, and it was a HUGE SUCCESS!! 🙂
We went into last night with a dog who pulled on his leash, followed his hound nose and didn’t always come when he was called. The dog we left with after the lesson would stay by your side, responded when you said his name and came when he was called. He responded very well to Duke and his methods of training.
We have had Desmond for almost 2 years and have tried a couple different trainers trying to find the right fit for us, our dog and what he responds to.  Last night consultation/lesson was the first time Desmond responded to and worked with someone other than my husband and I, he always seemed timid of other trainers but with Duke, Desmond warmed  up to him quickly and we were able to start our training right away and didn’t have to wait for Desmond to adjust to another human.
We found last night very informative, and can’t wait to go back to our next lesson.  We are looking forward to having a dog we can take with us where ever we go and not have to worry about him misbehaving around strangers and eventually children in and out of our home. Thank You Duke!! “

Unleashed Potential Dog Trainer Presents at Eastern College in Halifax.

February 1, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

eastern-large

I always love to see our upk9 dog trainers enjoying their career. 🙂 Getting invited to do presentations on TV, in community events, schools, businesses, and other small or large groups is just one of many fun things we get to do!

Among many presentations, one of the most requested presentations we do is on the truth abut different types of dog training methods, the pros and cons and the best ways to approach dog training for success in the real world. Other popular presentations we often do is bite prevention seminars. I’ll have to do a blog on that some day.

Here is what one of our Unleashed Potential Dog trainers writes in our Unleashed Potential blog:

“One of the things I love most about my career as a dog trainer with unleashed potential is that I have an opportunity to educate Veterinarians, Vet technicians, students, doggy daycare workers and pet store staff. Over the years I have learned a wealth of knowledge from some of the best dog trainers in North America, and I am more than happy to share that experience with those who want to learn more about dog training, aggression, rehabilitation and animal behavior. Today I had the great privilege of doing a seminar for the students of Eastern college in Halifax, all of the students were Vet technician students. I have to say it was really fun watching light bulbs turn on as people listened, connected, asked questions and had a really good time. At the end of the seminar I brought one of my dogs up to the class room to show how our training methods work. Automatically the entire classroom fell in love with BB my Belgian malinois , it was a great way to bridge the gap between theory and practical. I would like to thank Nadine at Eastern college for having me in, and inviting me back next year.”

Most of all they love our dogs!

I feel being a dog trainer is one of the best jobs there is, but in order to be good at it you not only need lots of knowledge and skill, you need to have a people personality and no fear of presenting in public. This is just one amongst many traits for success.

Keep on rocking in Halifax!!
