An Intense Way To Burn Off A Dogs Energy In Just Minutes

May 18, 2017 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

In the cold Canadian winter, days are short and the weather is often crappy. It is very hard to get outside and burn off the dogs energy on a regular basis. In this video you’ll See Duke and his Belgian Malinois “Nitro” Ripping it up in a parking lot after hours.

Malinois are intense breeds and MUST have energy spent daily….. No Matter What!

Duke Ferguson Conditioning The E – Collar to a Pit Bull

May 2, 2017 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Duke Ferguson Conditioning The E – Collar with Fun and Food

There are many ways to use an E – Collar.

Before you can begin effective training with an E- Collar you should first condition the dog to understand it.

If you skip conditioning a dog to understand the E – Collar sensation then you run the risk of creating confusion and unnecessary stress.  This is a user issue not a tool issue.

Not all E – Collars will let you work in a fun and motivating way so I do not suggest just going out and buying a e collar and using this video as a guide. There is a lot more info needed. If you are planning on using a E – Collar in your training program then I suggest looking for a UPK9 trainer near you OR investing in my Dog Training Genesis E -Collar Excellence on line training video program.

This is a short video that gives you a sneak peak in on Me, ( Duke )  working with a Pit for the very first time on an E-Collar.

The purpose of this video is not for in-depth e collar instruction, but to show that the e collar can be used in an extremely humane and effective way while maintaining a happy motivated dog. This is only the beginning conditioning stage and not a finished product.

The e collar is a very effective tool for motivating attention. You will see in this video a very happy, motivated and attentive dog.  To get results like this you need to do some alternative preparation work.

Anyone who tells you e collars are bad or abusive are lying to you and have no clue what they are talking about. Tools are just tools. Users are the main issue.

The Lazy Dog Trainer IV! Get The Dog To Push It! Nitro’s Shopping Cart Blues

What do you do when your dog loves to shop? LOL. kidding.

Im doing a little maintenance work with my dog to retrieve tings in to the shopping cart. Thats a big service.

Pushing the shopping cart is not one of hs jobs that is required, I trained him to do this for extra fun and keep him sharp.

Behaviours you need is a trained retrieve to a box or cart. Its not hard at all once you have the foundation.

Keep an eye out for my soon to come Trained Retrieve Video Program in Dog Training Genesis. Launching Summer 2017

Lazy Dog Trainer III, Duke Ferguson Obedience With 5 Dogs & A Four Wheeler

April 11, 2017 By Duke Ferguson 1 Comment

Lazy Dog Trainer lll, Duke Ferguson Obedience With 5 Dogs & A Four Wheeler

Having fun with your dog and burning energy off is super easy when you have them obedience trained properly.

Dogs are happy and free to run while still being safe and under control.

Since a trained dog is a joy to be around the obedience is super easy and stress free to maintain during fun outings.

Once you have your dog trained life is great!!!

Some of the dogs in this video were due to be put to sleep by so called Animal Behaviourist Veterinarians until Duke Ferguson stepped in and adopted them.

After some training it turns out these dogs were some of the best dogs ever to be with.

Here is some maintenance training and exercise that can be done while riding your quad. Watch how fast they can go.

Drive Safe!!!
