From 8wks – 5months old Terrier UNLEASHED: Unleashed Potential PEI Dog Training

April 23, 2014 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

photo 3-1I would like to take a moment to thank  Unleashed Potential in PEI for what they have done for me and my terrier pup. I must admit.  I am thrilled with our progress!
 We started with Puppy Management and have now progressed onto the  OFF LEASH Ultimate Obedience for life program! We are a couple lessons short of starting our first group session and could not be more excited to make that transition with Duke Ferguson.
The UPK9 trainers are more than willing to answer any questions I may have, and has helped us in every step with Piper. My dog Piper is only 5 months old now and I have such a great handle on this dog! It is just amazing to see what they can do if we just start them young and remain “Very Consistent” with our commands!
I highly recommend Unleashed Potential! You won’t be disappointed if you do your homework!

Good luck to all in their training!

Respectfully, Wynnie and Piper

Hound Dog UNLEASHED, Testimonial.

January 15, 2014 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Hound dog off leash chasing scents and coming back when called!
I adopted a rescued hound dog just over 3 years ago. The two of us made good progress together. However, I could not always trust him to return off leash. Scents are his strong focus. Unleashed Potential k9 training helped to make off leash walks possible. I am able to give him the freedom to run in the woods and know that he will return when we are out for a walk.He also had occasional aggressive tendencies that we have also been able to bring under control. Our relationship is stronger and we are both happier.Thank you Unleashed Potential!

Training A German Shorthaired Pointer

August 28, 2013 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Ina, my 3-year-old GSP (German shorthaired pointer), is an energy packed dog who will run around outside all day long and not crash until the sun is down. Since having her as an 8-week-old puppy, she has always been somewhat obedient, but I INAalways knew she wasn’t reaching her full potential. Ina is easily distracted from everything to grasshoppers, butterflies, and especially birds. I always struggled with Ina focusing on me, no matter what environment she was in. I consider myself an active person and I have always enjoyed having her off-leash to play fetch or to go on long hikes at Kejimkujik National Park. However, Ina was very hard to control on a leash and I started to avoid taking her to new environments where I knew she would be easily excited and distracted. Trips to a new park or even to the vet were things I started to dread. No matter what I tried and how long our walks were, I could never get her to stop pulling on her leash. I knew that the obedience issues I was facing with her were taking away from both her life and mine.

I had always been on the search for knowledgeable and qualified dog trainers along the South Shore, but I never found anyone that came with raving reviews. By chance I stumbled upon Unleashed Potential . I loved everything! I read about their dog obedience services and opted to give it a try. Since I started working with Unleashed Potential I have seen a huge transformation in Ina. I am now able to enjoy my dog much more than I ever have before. The training was beyond my expectations.  Heeling was something that I never thought I could possibly get Ina to do. However, I can now take Ina for a walk and even a run with her heeling, no matter what insects or animals are around, or who we come across.  Ina is focused on me and will recall even with distractions. The dread of not being able to control Ina when she is excited in a new environment is now a thing of the past. Ina and I now enjoy trips to the lake and long walks together on and off leash. Ina is living her life to the fullest now that her potential has been unleashed!

Thank you Unleashed Potential!

Kaila and Ina

Testimonial “Elvis” the German Shepherd a Continued Success Story of A Past Board and Train

July 18, 2013 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Testimonial “Elvis” the German Shepherd

A continued success story of a past Board and Train.

It has almost been a year since my German Shepherd Elvis, a super submissive, non socialized rescue spent time with Duke Ferguson of UPK9: PEI

Elvis can now walk off leash, heel, is not afraid of the water or gravel, he is a joy to take anywhere.
Elvis continues to learn new things each day and is becoming a confident and relaxed pet.
Thanks for your early work and guidance.
