UPK9 PEI: Puppy Management Class Testimonial

April 27, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Saturdayclasses11

My husband and I have been in puppy class now for 3 weeks and we look forward to it every week! It is a lot of fun for the people and the puppies! When we first started molly was shy of other dogs and extremely timid of any dog or puppy but now she nearly runs through the door to get to the other puppies the socialization she gets at class has really changed her personality in such a positive way, molly learns new things every class. The things Duke teaches are really helpful and work wonders every time we leave class we feel relief like we are on the right path. Puppies are a lot of work and they can be frustrating but with the tools we learn at puppy class we apply it and makes life easier.. Puppy class is great for anyone wanting to socialize your dog and get them the right head start in life which every  dog deserves i would highly recommend unleashed potentials puppy class you wont be disappointed!!

Boxer Puppy MOXON Testimonial

March 28, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Boxer Puppy Moxon Testimonial for UPK9 Puppy Management:

Joining puppy management with Unleashed Potential K9 Academy, was the best thing that we could have done for our Boxer puppy Moxon! He learned very quickly the basics with the guidance of Duke and Lindsay; and has built an amazing foundation for success as he grows into a full-grown Boxer! We learned how to communicate with him and leadership skills, how to use proper commands, how to kennel train him, which were the proper chew and play toys, and much, much more!

Not only does Duke teach you the basics to succeed, but weekly socialization is the best thing you could do for your puppy! Having the time to run around and play in a controlled environment with a room full of other puppies was fantastic, and very eye opening!

We also had the opportunity to work with Duke one-on-one to concentrate more on Moxon’s “pulling and tugging” on the leash when we walk him. This was extremely important as we are both active and want to run with him often! This extra service was extremely worthwhile, and there was improvement after a one hour session! He has absolutely exceeded our expectations, and I would recommend anyone with a new puppy to contact Duke Ferguson’s Unleashed Potential K9 Academy immediately – don’t wait another day!

Proven Results: Only One Dog Training Lesson With Unleashed Potential

February 7, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

I always Love to see the look on peoples faces when they come for their first lesson and they are amazed in how much success they get in just the first 10 – 20 minutes especially if they have seen other dog trainers. It is a part of my job that I love!

Here is an email I got from our last nights lesson. See below:

“Last night was our first dog training lesson at Unleashed Potential K9 training In Stratford PEI with Duke Ferguson, and it was a HUGE SUCCESS!! 🙂
We went into last night with a dog who pulled on his leash, followed his hound nose and didn’t always come when he was called. The dog we left with after the lesson would stay by your side, responded when you said his name and came when he was called. He responded very well to Duke and his methods of training.
We have had Desmond for almost 2 years and have tried a couple different trainers trying to find the right fit for us, our dog and what he responds to.  Last night consultation/lesson was the first time Desmond responded to and worked with someone other than my husband and I, he always seemed timid of other trainers but with Duke, Desmond warmed  up to him quickly and we were able to start our training right away and didn’t have to wait for Desmond to adjust to another human.
We found last night very informative, and can’t wait to go back to our next lesson.  We are looking forward to having a dog we can take with us where ever we go and not have to worry about him misbehaving around strangers and eventually children in and out of our home. Thank You Duke!! “

Amazing Dog Training Results!! In Only One Lesson

January 29, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Meet Achilles and his owners:

We were to the point of thinking about giving our dog Achilles away, because we couldn’t take him for walks without fighting with him the whole time, he wasn’t aloud outside by himself because he would run right over to the neighbors house, and ignore us when we call him back.  We would have to put him in his crate before we have guests because he would jump up, and be constantly at them,  among other issues.
Then we thought what if we had a child that wasn’t doing what he was told and acted like he ruled the house would we give him away too?  We began to look for an alternative solution.
After the first 10-15 min in the intro class, Duke Ferguson from Unleashed Potential K9  worked with Achilles.

We could not believe the difference, he wasn’t pulling on the leash, he was paying attention to what was going on, he was obeying commands.  By the end of the session, Achilles would come and sit when told by us and the three kids.  Now at home, he stays beside me when working him, comes and sits when told and he lays down when told. This is only since our first lesson.
For the first time in months we are happy to have a dog, we enjoy working with him and seeing the changes and it has only been two days so far.

Thanks for your help,
The Gallants

Husky OFFLEASH TRAINED: Unleashed Potential K9, PEI

May 6, 2011 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Cleo, my husky, and I have been attending Unleashed Potential since April, 2010.  Cleo was 5-years-old at the time and was becoming increasingly aggressive towards other dogs, was not recalling very well when off leash, and was food-aggressive with other animals (both cats and dogs).  Although she was never aggressive towards our children, I was fearful that an incident may occur and wanted some concrete training to correct her existing problematic behaviour and prevent future aggressive incidents.

I was satisfied after my initial consultation at Duke’s straightforward and common-sense approach to dog behaviour.  His experience and knowledge immediately came through as we discussed a plan and what was expected of myself as her owner.    As a mother of 2 young children aged 5-months and 3 1/2-years,  and completing a MSc at the same time, my time was  limited, but I could do a lot of mini-training sessions at home in my “spare-time”.  I could also attend the Stratford obedience group every other week to reinforce our training sessions at home.Saturdayclasses82

She responded well and adhered to commands.  With time she got better, and we did drills with food and other animals to modify her behaviour and reduce aggression.

Although we have advanced a great deal, there is always more to learn.  I enjoy the group sessions as I continue to learn ways to improve her behaviour and train myself to train her.  There are ample opportunities to ask questions specific to Cleo, and they are answered or addressed in classes or sooner in an e-mail or phone call.

I am thrilled with what I’ve been able to do with Cleo.  She now enjoys regular walks, often off-leash as I have confidence she will come back.  I know Duke’s classes have also fostered a better bond between Cleo and I.  I fear that if I had not gotten assistance soon, Cleo may have had to been euthanized as her aggression may have escalated.  I am fortunate that I was able to prevent that possibility, and enjoy a great relationship in the process.

There is no deadline and perfection is not the goal.  This is a life-long process for dog and owner that focuses on on-going maintenance.  I truly look forward to each group-session and walk with Cleo.
