Successful Husky Training with Unleashed Potential!

August 27, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Husky Training in Halifax NS!

Hi my name is Jenny Lind, I have a 10 month old Husky mix named Gizmo. Four weeks ago, Gizmo was a SPAZ! He would get up on the counters, he barked at people walking by, he would jump out at bicycles. He could not sit, stay, or come. He was not able to go off leash and he pulled badly on the leash. If that were not enough, he had plenty of food aggression. So I contacted Unleashed Potential and now he’s like a different dog!

I recently took him to my Vet and she didn’t even recognize him because he was so obedient in the clinic. When I come back to Halifax next summer, I am looking forward to bringing Gizmo back with me so we can do group classes with other dogs. I have already recommended Unleashed Potential to other dog owners and friends. Thanks again for helping me get Gizmo trained properly. Now I can enjoy him even more!

Testimonial with “Zeus” German Shepherd UPK9: Halifax

Testimonial with “Zeus” German Shepherd and UPK9

My German Shepherd dog Zeus and I just completed our training with Unleashed Potential  and the training  was great!  . UPK9  helped me turn my dog into a very happy well trained dog who now gets along with others. I could not be more pleased with the results and was worth every penny to have a 120 lbs. of manageable dog. My husband thought I was crazy at first but even in the first lesson he was impressed.

This training is worth the time and effort and money.  If your dog is not very social or does not listen call Unleashed Potential and they will give you a more loving friend that you can take with you anywhere.

Thanks again, from myself and Zeus!

Puppy Management Testimonial UPK9: PEI

July 16, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Unleashedclients12Puppy Management Testimonial UPK9: PEI

My boyfriend and I have now attended puppy class twice with our Burmese mountain dog mix Rudy. So far puppy class has been a ton of fun and Rudy really loves socializing with all the other puppies. She has learned how to come, sit, lay down, go to place and look. As we all know having a puppy can be frustrating at times, so it very reassuring to have someone teach you how to communicate clearly with your puppy and how much to expect from your puppy. I was having a difficult time crate training Rudy so I sent unleashed potential  a message.  We learned about crate training and more. Since then Rudy has slept in her crate for 5 nights in a row now! I am so happy I signed Rudy and I up for puppy class and I can wait to go back next week!

Puppy Training in Halifax NS!

June 5, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

luca puppy large

Puppy training in Halifax NS! My dog Luka is a lab mix who just turned 12 weeks old. The day I brought him home I saw several puppy issues that needed to be addressed. He was nipping my hands, chewing, peeing inside the house, just to name a few.

Within days of having him home I decided to call Unleashed Potential  after seeing the website and videos while doing some research. A few days later we started training .  The upk9 trainer listened to my concerns and could tell that I was having a particularly hard time with Luka’s biting.

The biting was the first of the issues to be addressed and in the first week he was no longer biting me.

In the next two lessons we took take of the rest of the problem issues and taught him the basics, sit, down, come, leash walking and how to use the bathroom outdoors.

Now three weeks later I have a great dog who is much easier to live with. I would like to thank Unleashed Potential for taking the time to show me how to train my dog the right way. Now I can love him much more that he is a balanced puppy.

German Shepherd Puppy Training: Proven Results In Only 2 Lessons With UPK9

May 2, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

 

Testimonial from one of our newest Ultimate Obedience Clients

Dear Duke,

Paul and I wanted you to know how happy we are with the progress of our German Shepherd puppy, Ava, under your care, attention and training. We brought her to you only three short weeks ago. She was completely untrained, and I think we even described her to you as ‘wild’!  She was close to four months old when we got her and we brought her to you two weeks later.
With only three weeks training of one night a week, she’s like a new puppy!!

Her behavior has improved one hundred fold and she’s a pleasure to have in our family now.

Thank you so much for your kind, caring but firm training method. We look forward to continuing to teach Ava to be a well mannered family pet and look forward to our weekly classes.  We love her dearly and we’re so happy she’s learning to be a well mannered companion that’s lots of fun to have in our family.

Thanks again,

Rosie O’Malley-Keyes
