LAZY DOG TRAINER….Having Your Dog Trained to Retrieve is Super Helpful Around The House

November 29, 2017 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

I cant stress enough that having jobs for your dog to do are important. One Job I love to teach my dogs is to retrieve things for me. It is SUPER helpful and I think everyone can benefit form it.

Here is a another video of our Lazy Dog Trainer series.

Be sure to like the video and Subscribe to our channel. IF you would like to see specific videos feel free to comment OR even better send us a message on something you want to see.

The dog in this video is named Taea, She is almost 14 years old and she is retired living up as a lazy pet in the house. I was her 3rd owner at 6 months old and before I got her she was going to be euthanized because she had some issues.  Sadly a Vet who believed in “clicker training ONLY” or the  “death before discomfort” concept  suggested to the previous owners that the dog should be put to sleep…

Taea has been one of the very best dogs I ever owned and I’m glad I rescued her.

Enjoy the video, and If you want more information on how to get your dog to fetch you tings you want contact a Unleashed Potential trainer today!

Malinois Fetching Fish! One Benefit to a Trained Retrieve

November 29, 2017 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

How fresh is your dogs food? Is it this fresh?

Do you have a dog who has resource guarding issues over food or things it sees as value? Are you training a hunting dog or a service dog?

In this video I explain one benefit of having a trained retrieve. I show an example.

If you need some help or have any questions then be sure to find a Unleashed Potential trainer near you. If we don’t have a trainer near you then I have an online video training program that will help.

Enjoy the video!

First Place, First Time!! Hunting Dog Retrieve Trial Using Dog Training Genesis Training Videos

November 25, 2017 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

“I started Duke Ferguson’s Dog Training Genesis (Now part of UPX) on line video training course with my 18 month old dog.
My dog is a Hungarian wire haired Vizsla. I am training him to be a hunting dog to compete in hunting tests.
He did have some kind of basic obedience skills before we started all this. But not steady or to a high level needed for competing in these tests.

 

Duke Ferguson gives you all the tools, knowledge and skill to train your dog successfully. It is your job as a dog owner to be consistent in your training and to find a good balance in your dog’s working attitude (keep him happy while training). Dukes training style does exactly that.
My main focus was on steadiness on one hand and swift responses on commands on the other hand. And this should all be off-leash.
While Duke´s program is not a specific hunting dog training program, I found it of no trouble to adapt Duke´s techniques to train a hunting dog. The same principles applied.
After a mere 3 months of training, we entered last weekend our very first hunting working test.

 

45 other dogs entered as well. The goal in this competition is getting all 10 retrieves while the dog remains perfectly steady and off-leash all the time. No barking or peeping is allowed. Touching your dog is a no-no too.
Handling your dog with whistle and hand signals is a must.

 

Result; while my dog was the youngest! dog competing and only 7% of the dogs got all 10 retrieves, my little guy left all the other dogs thinking….
He finished 1st. You can imagine how proud I am of my little guy!

 

Thank you Duke for giving me the right direction.”
