NS Duck Tolling Retriever

Transformed NS Duck Tolling Retriever!!!

Dear Duke,
I have witnessed a miracle! Maddie, my 3 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever has been transformed. People who knew Maddie before she was “Duked” now use adjectives such as unbelievable, unreal, amazing, awesome, and “is that really the same dog?”
Maddie used to be dominate, assertive, harassing, controlling, noisy and objectionable. She sounds terrible but while being all of the above she was really only high energy and in many ways delightful.
After just 3 weeks of training Maddie was a changed dog. However, the start was difficult with Duke admitting that Maddie was one of the more stubborn dogs he had seen … so after our first lesson I was on my own and a great battle for control began between us and honestly for the first couple of days I really thought Maddie was going to win. By our second lesson with Duke, just one week later progress had been made. And then one day Maddie conceded, I had control and our relationship strengthened and a bond was finally there.
Maddie is now totally obedient and the thing I notice most is the change to her personality … she no longer barks when she wants something, she doesn’t harass my guests to play Frisbee, she is quiet (in fact I have never been able to teach her the quiet command because she doesn’t bark when she shouldn’t), she doesn’t chase cars any more and she has stopped barking at doors which was her most annoying quirk.
Maddie and I are grateful to Duke and his training techniques … Maddie is now a real pleasure to live with and harmony reins … many thanks!

Victor Gosbee & Princess

Dear Duke,
I want to thank you for all the work you have done in helping me to train princess. It is greatly appreciated. After two weeks I could see a big difference in her. As you know, she is a strong willed dog, but through your training, I have been able to gain the control I need to handle her. It took some time, but she knows her place in the family, and is content, and always looking for ways to please. You have my highest recommendation, and I have told numerous friends about your work. In my opinion, every dog owner should have at least the basic training. Thanks again for training me and the dog.

Sincerely yours,
Victor Gosbee, and my Rottweiler/ lab mix “Princess”

Tara Birt & Dominant Oliver

June 4, 2009 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Dominant Oliver has been given a new leash on life. Read Tara’s testimonial

My Oliver is a very smart, energetic and affectionate dog. However, he was becoming increasingly dominant, destructive and aggressive. Most stories I heard about dog training were ones of disappointment and little results, therefore, I had little faith in dog trainers in general. I wanted a dog trainer who would give one on one training – giving my dog the attention he needed and the instructions I needed. When I called Duke I was impressed by his knowledge and very pleased with his reassurance and honesty. I was further impressed that his training is one on one. Our first meeting with Duke was interesting, Oliver not only peed on the floor twice, but also on Duke’s coat (Sorry Duke). By the end of our first session Oliver was sitting at my side contently. We had a few bumps along the way, but Oliver responded very well to the training and after only five weeks Oliver is now obedient, a pleasure to take for a walk, does not jump all over our guests and most importantly he understands my commands and is eager to please me.
Duke, I can’t thank you enough.

Sincerely Tara & Oliver

Stubborn Boxer, Jodie

June 4, 2009 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Read this testimonial from Dolores about her stubborn boxer, Jodie.

Dear Duke,

The Change in Jodie was wonderful once she started her training with you. It was quite a learning experience for both Jodie and myself. As you know, Jodie is a real Stubborn boxer, but with perseverance, eventually, all of that hard work paid off! She has come a long way since the day that she came for her first lesson.
Thanks, Duke, for teaching me how to handle Jodie. There was no way I could have done this on my own!

Sincerely

(Mrs.) Dolores O’Reilly

Sara Cotton with Massi

June 4, 2009 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

I called Duke from Ontario where I had been in some variation of clicker training with my dog Massi for a year. I had one month in PEI, which would be the deciding month for my husky cross, who was a rescue. A veterinarian had told me that the dog should have only been adopted to experienced dog owners. I felt experienced having had dogs my whole life. Now I had a 1-2 year old abused husky that was developing leash aggression and was still shy around strangers. I was not confident she could be rehabilitated into my lifestyle.
Duke answered my call promptly and to the delight of many, he actually listened to my plight, and understood that I was “clickered out”. He also understood my time constraints and adapted the program so that I could achieve my goals with Massi. Duke’s friendly chit chat, I realized in time, was actually his way of finding out what the dog (and I) had been up to between sessions…and he would call me on some of the things he felt I could do better.
Training dogs, and their owners, requires a high degree of organization and preparation as well as the ability to give clear and concise instructions. Able to adapt to constant changes in temperament of both Massi, and myself, while offering creative solutions to a variety of situations that the dog came into while on the island, Duke proved himself. He is a take-charge person and carries out his role confidently and with the ability to look at the big picture. I am grateful for all Duke accomplished over the course of a month. I would not hesitate to recommend Duke and Kings County K9 Academy (now UPK9), and do so with the knowledge that any task he is asked to do will be handled efficiently and with the individual dog and owner in mind.
