Enjoying Life With Sully!

February 5, 2015 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

 

IMG_2206

We have a 2.5 year old Yorkie named Sully. We did puppy class with Duke Ferguson, who shared a ton of knowledge with us.  Over time we let our training slide, but we are back on top since we did Duke’s board and train program. I remember dropping Sully off the first day, feeling guilty and nervous, but I was told  “you won’t regret it…no one ever does.”

Our lifestyle involves a lot of travel, and flying with Sully.  Before the training Sully was embarrassing and unbearable to take with us so this was our main goal in our assessment meeting with Duke. We needed Sully to go in his airplane bag and be quiet on the plane. We also wanted to have Sully come when called, walk beside us without pulling on the leash or even have no leash, and different tasks such as not begging for food at the dinner table, greeting people at the door or on the street properly.

Our expectations were exceeded!! We cannot express how impressed and pleased we are with Sully after spending a month with Duke. Our family and friends, people we run into on the streets, and ourselves cannot believe the change in Sully. We recently flew to Croatia, in total a 15 hr journey….Sully was a pleasure to travel with, calm and quiet the whole flight.

The Dog Training Genesis video training program Duke has created is also amazing and a great resource to have to help us stay educated on how to work with and train Sully.

Since having Sully home, Duke has been very patient in teaching us the skills and theory to keep up the progress when we asked him. We have the privilege to attend Unleashed Potential’s Ultimate Obedience Group class every week, and it is now enjoyable to participate and to go in public with Sully because of progress he has made.

Duke Ferguson and his team of Unleashed Potential Dog Trainers are AMAZING DOG TRAINERS!

The amount of knowledge and information Duke has is fascinating and we are so lucky to have him on P.E.I. We highly recommend Duke and Unleashed Potential to all dog owners. Duke we said it before and we’ll say it again…thank you for everything, we are forever grateful.

Mark, Heather, and Sully-woof

Great Dane OFF LEASH: Training a Shy Timid Dog, Testimonial Unleashed Potential, PEI

April 8, 2014 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Hamlet, Great Dane OFF LEASH and going everywhere with Unleashed Potential Ultimate Obedience!!

It’s hard to find the words to describe what  Unleashed Potential K9 in PEI has done for me and my Great Dane.

Hamlet is a timid and shy dog, and I went to Unleashed Potential looking for help, hoping to build his confidence and mine. The first session we had  opened my eyes to the possibilities of what Hamlet and I could accomplish together. Since then,we have been  educated, challenged  and given so many new tools we are able to put in to practice everywhere we go.

We arrived at each session eager to learn more.  Our trainer’s enthusiasm for dogs and their people is contagious. Her talent and knowledge is something I’m grateful she shared with me. I will never forget all she’s done for Hamlet and I, and would recommend Unleashed Potential K9 to anyone looking for help with their dog.

Belgian Malinois Gets His Toy Back From Where The Fox Left it: Blind Retrieve On Ice

January 20, 2014 By Duke Ferguson 1 Comment

My Belgian Malinois taking back what is his:

While having coffee one morning, I noticed from the window of my house what looked to be a red dot out on the ice in the middle of the river.  I looked through the binoculars and saw it was one of my dogs toys that cost over $25 and I knew exactly how it got there.

Foxes can be a pain in the butt by times.  We have a fox that likes stealing the dogs toys and leaving them all over the place. We find them in the fields and in the woods upon hiking.

It reminds me of a show my daughter used to watch as a child,” Dora The Explorer”.  In the TV show there was a Fox named Swiper. The famous chant was “Swiper No Swiping!! 3 times over. lol

After the coffee I decided to go and collect the toy since it cost enough money.

I strapped on the snow shoes and headed out.  Before getting too far out on the ice I decided to send my  malinois “NITRO” out on a blind retrieve. It was roughly 150 – 200 yards away.  Since he has a high level of obedience and skill, and the wind was in our favour, I figured it would be no problem for him so I decided to video tape it.

I hope you enjoy the video of Nitro being sent to collect his toy where Swiper left it.
