Amazing Dog Training Results!! In Only One Lesson

January 29, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Meet Achilles and his owners:

We were to the point of thinking about giving our dog Achilles away, because we couldn’t take him for walks without fighting with him the whole time, he wasn’t aloud outside by himself because he would run right over to the neighbors house, and ignore us when we call him back.  We would have to put him in his crate before we have guests because he would jump up, and be constantly at them,  among other issues.
Then we thought what if we had a child that wasn’t doing what he was told and acted like he ruled the house would we give him away too?  We began to look for an alternative solution.
After the first 10-15 min in the intro class, Duke Ferguson from Unleashed Potential K9  worked with Achilles.

We could not believe the difference, he wasn’t pulling on the leash, he was paying attention to what was going on, he was obeying commands.  By the end of the session, Achilles would come and sit when told by us and the three kids.  Now at home, he stays beside me when working him, comes and sits when told and he lays down when told. This is only since our first lesson.
For the first time in months we are happy to have a dog, we enjoy working with him and seeing the changes and it has only been two days so far.

Thanks for your help,
The Gallants

Tyson the boxer: UPK9 Testimonial

November 24, 2011 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

 

283702_10151612732331253_1440510720_n

Our dog Tyson:

We adopted a 2 year old Boxer named Tyson, he was “free”. Nothing in life is free, and Tyson was no exception. He came with a host of problems, skin allergies, separation anxiety, no manners, dog aggression and above all Tyson was a nightmare to walk! Tyson also thought kennels were for other dogs, not him. Tyson’s only redeeming qualities were he was really cute and he didn’t chew shoes.

I still remember writing my first email to Unleashed Potential; I had been home alone with our little treasure for two days and I was at the end of my rope.  We set up a date for The assessment for Tyson and he brought his well mannered dog to show what a well trained dog was capable of. We were very impressed with upk9’s philosophies so we decided to train with Unleashed Potential.

We decided on lifetime enrolment as the thought of having support at whatever stage Tyson was at in his life was a big bonus. So the lessons started and progressed very quickly. The Unleashed Potential trainer went to great lengths to insure we were doing well between visits and was very supportive and encouraging.

Tyson has come a long way since we started training. His manners are much improved, he runs to his kennel when asked and I can walk him by myself without fear of being pulled off my feet. His dog aggressive is no longer and he is a pleasure to take anywhere.

We are now attending group classes on Saturday afternoon, because we love to socialize with other dogs and their owners. UPK9 has helped us turn our misfit into a wonderful companion.  we cannot thank Unleashed Potential enough for all your guidance, support and assistance. This company offered us a solution, where other trainers could not.

We think You Guys Are The Best!

Sincerely

       – Sue, Brent and Tyson

Look Inside UPK9’s board and train program

October 24, 2011 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Inside the board and train program with Unleashed Potential Halifax.

We get many questions about our Board and Train Obedience Program. In this video, one of our past  Unleashed Potential K9 trainers in  Halifax gives a glimpse of how a dog who is in for our board and train program spends a normal day. We hope this answers some questions you might have about this awesome program. The video was designed to give the dogs point of view, and is a really fun video to watch. We really hope you enjoy it.

If you have anymore questions or would like more information about our services, you can call us directly: 1 – 877-405-3647

October 20, 2011 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Dozer the St. Bernard completes a board and train program with master dog trainer and CEO of Unleashed Potential, Duke Ferguson. This St. Bernard was described as being the boss in his household. After the board and train program, Dozer is now a member of a very happy family.

Watch as the family of this wonderful St. Bernard explains how he was before AND see how he is now after training! Happy, calm (with self control and exercise), Obedient and a pleasure to be around.
Dozer came to us with some serious jealousy issues, now he’s excellent around the baby, able to heel easily on a walk beside the stroller.

    What if the thing triggering you most isn't here to punish you, but to teach you? It's my birthday, 52 years in, 38 of them spent with animals, and the lesson I keep relearning is this: triggers are spotlights. In this episode I get into triggers, trauma, and transformation for you and your dog, and […]
