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.

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.

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

Dozer the St. Bernard completes a board and train program with master dog trainer and CEO of Unleashed Potential, Duke Ferguson. This St. Bernard was described as being the boss in his household. After the board and train program, Dozer is now a member of a very happy family.

Watch as the family of this wonderful St. Bernard explains how he was before AND see how he is now after training! Happy, calm (with self control and exercise), Obedient and a pleasure to be around.
Dozer came to us with some serious jealousy issues, now he’s excellent around the baby, able to heel easily on a walk beside the stroller.

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.
