Enjoying Life With Sully!

February 5, 2015 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

 

IMG_2206

We have a 2.5 year old Yorkie named Sully. We did puppy class with Duke Ferguson, who shared a ton of knowledge with us.  Over time we let our training slide, but we are back on top since we did Duke’s board and train program. I remember dropping Sully off the first day, feeling guilty and nervous, but I was told  “you won’t regret it…no one ever does.”

Our lifestyle involves a lot of travel, and flying with Sully.  Before the training Sully was embarrassing and unbearable to take with us so this was our main goal in our assessment meeting with Duke. We needed Sully to go in his airplane bag and be quiet on the plane. We also wanted to have Sully come when called, walk beside us without pulling on the leash or even have no leash, and different tasks such as not begging for food at the dinner table, greeting people at the door or on the street properly.

Our expectations were exceeded!! We cannot express how impressed and pleased we are with Sully after spending a month with Duke. Our family and friends, people we run into on the streets, and ourselves cannot believe the change in Sully. We recently flew to Croatia, in total a 15 hr journey….Sully was a pleasure to travel with, calm and quiet the whole flight.

The Dog Training Genesis video training program Duke has created is also amazing and a great resource to have to help us stay educated on how to work with and train Sully.

Since having Sully home, Duke has been very patient in teaching us the skills and theory to keep up the progress when we asked him. We have the privilege to attend Unleashed Potential’s Ultimate Obedience Group class every week, and it is now enjoyable to participate and to go in public with Sully because of progress he has made.

Duke Ferguson and his team of Unleashed Potential Dog Trainers are AMAZING DOG TRAINERS!

The amount of knowledge and information Duke has is fascinating and we are so lucky to have him on P.E.I. We highly recommend Duke and Unleashed Potential to all dog owners. Duke we said it before and we’ll say it again…thank you for everything, we are forever grateful.

Mark, Heather, and Sully-woof

Little Dogs Trained Humanely And Happily Using Remote Training Collar

November 13, 2014 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Watch how Duke Ferguson demonstrates with Louisa, a little dogs trained humanely and happily using Remote Training Collar, The Unleashed Potential Way!

Meet Louisa!! A little dog. She is a small poodle mix. 7 months old and weighing less than 7 pounds!!

Here is a  video that shows this cute little dog experiencing the electronic training collar for the first time ever!! Watch her response!!

Check this out!

Since Louisa is a young pup, she was previously trained with positive reinforcement only. She was off to a great start but her recall needed alot of improvement. Even if there was a little distraction or something she wanted more than the treat, she would not come when called. One day she decided to not come when called and ran off to the road…. We all know what happens to dogs on the road. Needless to say, this worried her owners enough to look for a way to correct this behaviour before Louisa got hurt. Her owners spoke with Duke.

This video proves all the hype about ” e collars” “shock collars” “remote training collars” being inhumane dead wrong! When used properly, they are a valuable training tool.

Does your dog not come when you call it? Do you want help? No matter the size, sex, age or breed We Can Help!

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!

More Amazing Life Changing Results!

More Amazing Life Changing Results with Unleashed Potential K9 Halifax, Nova Scotia!!!

 

Since it has been weeks since we were last at Group Class I thought I’d just send you a quick note to let you know Matt, Luna and I have not fallen off the face of the earth. We have just been super busy enjoying the summer. We have been away with Luna on a few weekend trips, surf trips, beach days, etc. We are still training with her meals each day, and making time for doggy play dates several times a week.
Honestly, we have been taking her everywhere! It feels great to be ambassador for the Shepherd breeds- we have had so many people tell us they didn’t like or trust Shepherds until they met Luna. Because she is so calm and balanced it really makes an impact on people.
So thanks again for all the tools and lessons. As silly as it sounds, Matt and I built our bond and the foundation of trust in our marriage from countless days at the beach. This summer we have been building that same bond and trust with Luna because we have the tools to do it now. It’s really amazing.
I hope you are having a happy summer too, and we’ll be sure to catch up at GC soon!

RSS The Weekly Recall with Duke Ferguson

    What if the thing triggering you most isn't here to punish you, but to teach you? It's my birthday, 52 years in, 38 of them spent with animals, and the lesson I keep relearning is this: triggers are spotlights.
