The Art Of Attention In Dog Training

November 4, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

What is “The Art Of Attention” In Dog Training?

Although we often show how much attention you can get from your dog in any distraction, the art of attention  is way more than just having the dog look at you.

See the video below to learn more information on what it is.

Modern Day Dog Training With Unleashed Potential. NePoPo Training

October 30, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Modern Day Dog Training With Unleashed Potential. NePoPo training.

Did you know there is a terrible misconception in the dog training world that if you use E – Collars or other tools that can apply pressure or corrections then you are not a positive trainer at all…..AND… If your a user of clickers or verbal marks then your not a trainer who can stand to apply pressure or corrections in training.

This Misconception is crazy and its not true at all.

Check out this video I made for you. It has 2 key foundation training tips in it.

Hey Ding Ding! Negative Reinforcement In Dog Training And The Real World

October 29, 2016 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Hey Ding Ding! Negative Reinforcement In Dog Training And The Real World

I have seen trainers and some people  bash negative reinforcement and even get in to emotional fights with people about it. When I ask them if they even know what it is they say, “Well…ummm… its inhumane treatment of dogs.  This ignorance literally makes me want to throw up! It has to stop! People are being lied to about training and tools.

For some strange reason, they believe that the only thing in dog training thats ok is “positive reinforcement only”

You need to know the truth! This kind of thinking  is a complete lie.

What is the world coming to when you can be fed a load of crap like this and eat it up like candy?

Let me be clear here because I don’t want you to misunderstand what I’m saying.

All Unleashed Potential trainers firmly believe in using positive reinforcement in training BUT we also believe in balance and we are not afraid to tell the truth about dog training.  Negative reinforcement is NOT bad at all.

There is also a misconception that if you use negative reinforcement then you are not a positive trainer. This is also a crock of horse crap.

Watch this short video to see exactly how negative reinforcement  works, not only in dog training, but in the real world.

If you like this please share it to show the truth about what Negative Reinforcement is.
