Unleashed Potential Dog Trainer Presents at Eastern College in Halifax.

January 31, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Unleashed Potential Dog Trainer with Vet Tech Students at Eastern College in Halifax.

One of the things I love most about my career as a dog trainer with unleashed potential is that I have an opportunity to educate Veterinarians, Vet technicians, students, doggy daycare workers and pet store staff. Over the years I have learned a wealth of knowledge from some of the best dog trainers in North America, and I am more than happy to share that experience with those who want to learn more about dog training, aggression, rehabilitation and animal behavior.

Today I had the great privilege of doing a seminar for the students of Eastern college in Halifax, all of the students were Vet technician students. I have to say it was really fun watching light bulbs turn on as people listened, connected, asked questions and had a really good time. At the end of the seminar I brought one of my dogs up to the class room to show how our training methods work. Automatically the entire classroom fell in love with BB, it was a great way to bridge the gap between theory and practical.

I would like to thank Nadine at Eastern college for having me in, and inviting me back next year.

Tyson the boxer: UPK9 Testimonial

November 24, 2011 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

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

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

Methods of Dog Training

July 26, 2011 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Today I was reading the newest installment of a publication the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers puts out regularly.

Pat Renshaw, the current chair of the organization has an article in the publication in which she talks about unity within the dog training industry.

It was very interesting to read about how the organization values all it’s dog trainers, regardless of the methods they use.

It’s no secret that there is hundreds of ways to train a dog, so to read that the organization supports the use of all methods including food training, leash training, e-collar training, I was happy to see that the strongest voice in Canadian dog training will fully back the use of e-collars when used properly with professional training. I choose to use many methods in dog training, and have personally trained with some of the best dog trainers in the world, from France, USA, Canada, Italy, and one thing that seems to continue to come up is that we all need to have an open mind in the training of dogs.

Pat Renshaw also touches on how Robin MacFarlane, (a strong supporter of e-collar use in the USA) was recently a presenter at the 2011 CAPPDT Conference in Toronto Ontario Canada.

I must say it’s nice to see some people open their minds to the use of alternative dog training tools in the industry, it’s almost as nice as the feeling I get when I show up in group class every week seeing 10-20 dogs off leash in a public park, most of whom previously had severe dog or human aggression or both.

If you would like more information on how I go about my dog training programs, please contact me personally and I would be more than happy to show you one on one in person.
Best regards.
Unleashed Potential Halifax.
