On August 9th of 2007, Chad and myself had adopted Helen Keller (H.K.), a 2-3 year old deaf boxer/American bulldog mix. We knew that training her was going to be a challenge but we didn't realise how much. We figured a couple of hand signals and we would be on our way. However, this proved to be a little more difficult than we had expected. She is a very energetic dog and initially we had no idea how to communicate with her. At times, it was very frustrating being in the same room with her, as … [Read more...] about Amy, Chad and HK, deaf dog

Brooks
Hey Duke, Brooks and I would just like to thank you for getting us back on the right path. I adopted Brooks this past summer from the Humane Society. When I adopted her she was an older dog so I thought she would be a great companion and being 2 years old she would be out of her puppy and bad stages. Little did I know...

Satisfied Client Testimonial
A testimonial from another satisfied client of Unleashed Potential K9 in Stratford, PEI. Hey Duke: Just wanted to let you know how happy we’ve been with the training and the progress we have seen from Mika. Mika’s always been very well behaved, but the Shiba Inu breed has a strong instinct to chase everything (balls, squirrels, leaves, etc). For this reason, our breeder warned us beforehand that Mika would always be a leash dog. However, thanks to your e-collar training and after a few … [Read more...] about Satisfied Client Testimonial
