Dog Training Genesis

Obedience Training Maintenance ” Working For A Living”

April 18, 2015 By Duke Ferguson 2 Comments

Obedience Training Maintenance ” Working For A Living” Duke when can I feed from the dish again? 

For those who know me know  I never feed from a dog dish and that I’m an advocate for making the dog work for its meals.  To me it only makes sense,  in the wild the dog must hunt for a living. Hunting is work, working the body and the  brain.  Hunting and searching is a natural instinct in the dog and if the dog does not want to hunt then it does not eat because food like rabbits and mice do not come to the dog and sacrifice them selves.

BUT

In the domestic home most  family pet dogs  get daily food for free as well as all other desired things.  The owner goes to work for a living and brings home all the dogs needs. The dog gets everything it wants and it does not have to work for anything. This is in turn creates spoiled rich kid syndrome or puts the dog in a retired millionarre frame of mind.

Who is the boss and who is the slave? LOL!

I created this video for my advanced private coaching clients and my Dog Training Genesis members… but it will be of great value to all who watch it.

Here are some tips on when you can feed from the dog dish again and how you should do it to maintain the dogs obedience and satisfy the dogs instincts.

Dog Karma Rescue’s Review On Duke Ferguson’s Dog Training Genesis Video Training Program

November 13, 2014 By Duke Ferguson 1 Comment

Cool, I just got this  great review from Dog Karma Rescue about  my Dog Training Genesis Video Training Program.

Dog Karma Rescue, based out of Nova Scotia, has been using my methods before the release of the Dog Training Genesis Program. They take in dogs with multiple issues and rehabilitate them to find them their forever family.

Since signing up for my Dog Training Genesis Program, Kim and Guy have been able to help a dog learn quicker the right and wrong way to socialize and live in harmony within their new home. They love having the videos to go back to and reference with each dog that passes through their home as it gives them a chance to refresh themselves to help their new canine buddy. This couple rocks in the teamwork they display to help problem dogs find new homes without the original problems they had.

If your looking to adopt a dog be sure to check out Dog Karma Rescue.  They put a lot of care and effort in to what they do with the dogs to make sure you end up adopting  a great forever friend! Kim and Guy Rock!

Check out what they have to say about the training program.

Thanks Guy and Kim!

Testimonial: UPK9 Worldwide Dog Training CONSULTS ! “VIDA” GSD

April 9, 2013 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Testimonial: UPK9 Worldwide Dog Training Consults!

Finding and contacting  Duke Ferguson at Unleashed Potential for dog training on the internet was a life changer for me as I was nearly at the end of my tether. My husband and I have a young german shepherd which we have trained from a puppy and having had other german shepherds presumed things would go forward in the normal way, but we were wrong.  Vida was a challenge from the start.

Online Skype Dog Training For The United Kingdom and World Wide

 

Hyper, high drive and over the top behaviour from a baby. Never seemed to be able to relax, unable to control herself, pulling, lunging, jumping with excitement when meeting and greeting other dogs and people (very friendly) over the top with excitability and energy and yes, she got plenty of exercise.   In fact, I wish I knew then what I know now that the frequent advice from well-meaning people including most trainers that a tired dog is a well-behaved dog is not applicable to all dogs, they just get fitter and are still hyper and raring to go!  Tried all sorts of collars, halters, natural calming remedies etc with no success.  I could go on and on.  It was exhausting and very frustrating.

I had not considered an e collar as they get very bad press in the UK and I asked a trainer if they thought it might be worth trying and was told that I should NOT consider using one.  I then started looking on the web to find a site that might give me more information.

UPK9 Worldwide Dog Training Consults

Success in Coaching and Training with Online Videos

We live in the U.K. so when I saw Duke’s website I nearly didn’t contact him because I thought he may not want to get involved due to the obvious distance but thank goodness I did. I purchased an e-collar and some training videos from him. as well as doing some Skype consults one-on-one.  His training methods combined with this collar are great! He uses it in a way to encourage correct behaviour in all aspects of training, it was a real eye-opener for me.

The result was that his advice very soon produced results with our dog and I cannot thank him enough! Duke is an excellent trainer and I would recommend anyone with a problem dog to contact him, wherever in the world they live! You will get great results and service.
