Out of Control Lab, Ginger- Testimonial

By 1 Comment

Thank You Unleashed Potential The Valley!! Ginger the lab is out of control no more! See Video Below!

A few months after getting our lab/retriever, Ginger, daily life started to become stressful. The kids didn’t want to play with the her because she would bite at them and knock them over, and my husband refused to walk her anymore because she pulled so hard on the leash even an anti pull harness didn’t work. Ginger was relentlessly; she went after anything that moved, cat,s birds, leaves ect., she would eat everything she looked at, including large rocks. Life was just crazy!

We tried a trainer that taught us how to get her to sit but she wouldn’t stay. It got to the point where her day was spent getting yelled at or locked away in a kennel because we couldn’t take her anywhere or do anything with her. I was very skeptical that training would do anything to change her hyper personality but the only other option was to give her away, so after some research and asking around, we found Camellia. Immediately after beginning training I could see changes in Ginger. A 20 minute session had her panting exhausted, but she LOVED it and I was enjoying spending that time with her. Whenever I had questions Camellia quickly responded and gave advice that actually worked! After hitting a rough spot with some behaviors we weren’t sure how to deal with, we sent Ginger away with Camellia for a 5 day board and train. You wouldn’t think that much would change in 5 days, but it has tremendously!

Now my family could not be happier because life is way less stressful for everyone, including Ginger. She is actually now a part of our family, not an annoyance. I am able to take her out with confidence and my kids are begging to do stuff with her. She has become something I am proud of, not something I am apologizing for when I have guests over.

I would completely recommend Camellia as a trainer to anyone who is possibly hitting their breaking point or who wants to avoid that in their future. Her level of knowledge of dogs and their behaviors is exceptional. We are so pleased and content in knowing that no matter what challenges we come up against, Camellia will be there to guide us through it.

Dog VS Squirrel / Recall With Distractions

By 1 Comment

Do you have trouble getting your dog to come when called? If you are going to let your dog off leash then for safety and sanity reasons you should have your dog trained with a rock solid recall!

Seriously, I see people every day letting their dogs off leash and have no control, only to have the dog chase a car or passer by and get hit by a car.

Truth is it’s actually easy to teach a recall. Any breed, any size, any age, any dog can be trained to come when called… EVEN Deaf dogs!

Check out this video of Matrix VS the Squirrel!

Dog Training & BBQ (Finding the time)

By Leave a Comment

Not enough time in a day?

Life is busy, and with all the technology we have today to make our lives easier it seems to take up more of our time.

Do you have trouble finding the time you need to work with your dog? If so then this video might be useful to you and help you get creative.

I made this video to help give you ideas on what you can do with your time and make it efficient so you can spend a little quality time with your dog and get the best of both worlds.

I understand how “BUSY” life can get!  In this video I am BBQing outside of a hotel and working Nitro at the same time.  Im traveling from one of my seminars out of country, back to PEI to meet some student dog trainers who are starting my school.

Hey, Dog Trainers…here is a tip or you. If you want to get business then this is one way to do it. 😉   ENJOY!

Working Street Corners With Duke Ferguson & Nitro. 2017 IACP After Hours

By Leave a Comment

This is a fun, entertaining video someone recorded of Duke Ferguson working his Dog “Nitro” in the street corners of Missouri, USA.

Watch as Duke and Nitro have a blast working the crowds and how they make this look super easy and fun….BUT…here is a little secret!  Before you watch the video you should know one thing. Shhh!!

Many years ago before becoming a professional dog trainer, Duke Ferguson once had a dog he could not walk or take in to public because of behaviour issues and lack of knowledge in what to do.  YES! This is true!!

After working with several trainers and vet behaviourists with little-to-no success Duke noticed a huge difference and conflict in opinions and methods between trainers. He was even told by a “positive only” trainer to put his dog to sleep.

This was unacceptable advice and it motivated Duke to pursue his passion in training and working with animals.

Now, 30 years later with a ton of application and research, training thousands of dogs, traveling the world attending many dog training schools and training with many world class trainers he has acquired the skills to make things look easy.

If you’re struggling with your dog or you’re a professional dog trainer wanting to enhance your training skills then Unleashed Potential is a MUST to look in to.

Duke has Trainers in Canada and the USA to help you.

If there are no Unleashed Potential trainers in your area then you’re still in luck. Duke has an on-line dog training site called Dog Training Genesis. It covers everything form positive clicker training, leash work all the way over to remote collar “E-Collar” training.
