Education on Remote Collars/ E-Collars/Shock collars for Dog Training.

April 18, 2015 By Duke Ferguson 6 Comments

What Happens In The Water??? Do they Shock? Do They Burn? Are they inhumane? 

Haters and supporters we love you all !!
Yes , Yes I know its a longer than normal video but its got lots of info in it.
This video is Entertaining and Educational.

In this video Professional Dog Trainer Duke Ferguson Owner / CEO of Unleashed Potential K9 will address false beliefs that e collars shock and burn. This video is for everyone!!
Duke actually puts the strongest e collar he uses on his hands and neck IN THE WATER…..and shows the levels and explains things . He even shows the effect at top level.
In this video Duke gives complimentary information and educates on how e collars can be miss used and what can happen if left on too long as well as what happens using them in the water .

Like e collars or  not,  the information in this video will be of some value to you or at least entertain you.

Shock Collars burn the skin they say!
They shock the body and nervous system they say!
Put that on your Effing neck they say!
Ban them they say!
Inhumane they say!
Put the dog down and not use those tools they say!

Listen up People!

I know common sense is no longer common practice anymore but open your eyes and stand up for the truth.
Do not fall for the lies. Educate yourself and do it now before :they sayers” get their way.

The “They sayers” ( remote collar tool haters) do not even know the truth about the tools and do not understand how to use the tools in training to produce high quality results and happy obedient dogs in a training system.
And.. they do not want to know!

All the Talk is cheap, so keep an open mind and listen to those who actually know about the tools.

Get educated by Experts who use the tools every day and produce amazing results in a system with the tools.

Do your research.
Be real. ALL tools have Pros and Cons… so learn them!

The dogs them selves and the results that follow will show you who is good with the tools and who is not, as well as what systems are best…because not all trainers are alike.

Instead the “Anti e collar, remote collar Extremists” get that narrow minded focus and grow such a hate for the tools and users, then they start bullying pressuring people and lobbying government to ban the tools and even euthanizing dogs if “positive only” wont work.

Im Serious! Its crazy but true! Death before discomfort is real. Clicker train it or kill it is real… Some people still believe the earth is flat as well so get Educated.

Some TV Celebrities who claim to be trainers or “Behaviourists” are really just actors and making a big fuss and creating drama.
Good for ratings but bad for peoples and dogs lives who actually need and want real help.

The Truth is, “they sayers” really don’t know what they are doing except acting and often giving bad advice that kills dogs as well as Bullying others, calling many wonderful kind caring people who love their dogs “inhumaine and abusive” just because of using a tool that “They sayers” don’t like. Instead they try and preach “Positive ONLY”

Is that really positive mindset from the “positive only” believer community? HELL NO!

Why cant we all focus on Learning and growing together!
Put the dislikes, emotions aside and just help!!

What if all trainers actually Start Caring and serving others and really helping the people, helping each other, the dogs and the industry and focusing on higher level and more education instead of just serving them selves?

Why be consumed with negative emotion, hate and spread lies and bash the tools and others who use the tools?
It makes no sense but its a daily thing.

Educating truth is much better than Hating don’t you agree?

Sadly “They Sayers-tool haters” don’t want to learn the truth.
They don’t want to learn the pros to using the tool in a system to get 5x the results in a positive results kind of Way!
They seem to just want to bash, bully and ban, due to emotion and ignorance

Get educated people!
Be open minded People!
Try your best to use common sense…because its not common anymore.

Here is a video that will hep educate on a few real points of (remote collars, e collars, shock collars, vibration collars or what ever ya want to call them)
Try not so smile or laugh!!!

Enjoy this!
and

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!

Belgian Malinois Gets His Toy Back From Where The Fox Left it: Blind Retrieve On Ice

January 20, 2014 By Duke Ferguson 1 Comment

My Belgian Malinois taking back what is his:

While having coffee one morning, I noticed from the window of my house what looked to be a red dot out on the ice in the middle of the river.  I looked through the binoculars and saw it was one of my dogs toys that cost over $25 and I knew exactly how it got there.

Foxes can be a pain in the butt by times.  We have a fox that likes stealing the dogs toys and leaving them all over the place. We find them in the fields and in the woods upon hiking.

It reminds me of a show my daughter used to watch as a child,” Dora The Explorer”.  In the TV show there was a Fox named Swiper. The famous chant was “Swiper No Swiping!! 3 times over. lol

After the coffee I decided to go and collect the toy since it cost enough money.

I strapped on the snow shoes and headed out.  Before getting too far out on the ice I decided to send my  malinois “NITRO” out on a blind retrieve. It was roughly 150 – 200 yards away.  Since he has a high level of obedience and skill, and the wind was in our favour, I figured it would be no problem for him so I decided to video tape it.

I hope you enjoy the video of Nitro being sent to collect his toy where Swiper left it.

Please leave any comments.
