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!

– Allie Bowtle and Kevin Best and MOXON!

Proven Results!! Siberian Husky trained to walk nicely on a leash with UPK9: Testimonial

March 27, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Proven Results!! Siberian Husky trained to walk nicely on a leash with UPK9: Testimonial

Another Happy Client in just One dog training  Lesson with Unleashed Potential!

Check out this Testimonial for one of our UPK9 Dog trainers!

Hi my name is John and I wanted to share a little about my unbelievable experience while training with Unleashed Potential dog training.

I recently adopted a seven year old Siberian Husky from a Husky rescue organization in Nova Scotia. The rescue organization told me when I adopted her that she was a lead dog on a sled team. This has made it impossible to walk her.

Regardless of what method or tools I used, I could not seem to stop her from pulling. I even tried a gentle leader that came highly recommended by a local pet store, however this actually seemed to make her pull even worse. No matter what I tried she would pull me, like she was pulling a sled.

After just ONE lesson with, a professional dog trainer from Unleashed Potential, I now have the problem 95% under control.

We are very happy with the service, this has allowed us to enjoy our dog more fully, and we highly recommend  Unleashed Potential to anyone we can!!

John Hanes, Halifax N.S.

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!! “

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.

eastern-large

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.

-Ted Efthymiadis

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
