Rottweiler Unleashed in Public

September 29, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Watch as this rottweiler performs his obedience with Duke Ferguson, Master Dog Trainer and CEO of Unleashed Potential K9. This video was taken in front of a grocery store on a very cold day in downtown Montague, Prince Edward Island. Amazing obedience amongst so many distractions of people, kids and traffic!!! Watch as Duke sends him to their vehicle from a distance, heels alongside a busy road and leaves him in a down position while he walks into the grocery store. Great work!!

Boxer’s obedience training, Halifax, NS

September 29, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Looking for some Dog Training in Halifax?? Look no further!

Testimonial of a boxer’s obedience training with a professional dog trainer from Unleashed Potential in Halifax.

A few months ago we were frustrated to our limit with our boxer, Odin. We could not understand why he was becoming overly dominant and aggressive towards other dogs, and in some instances people. Of course this problem is a very sensitive and dangerous issue. Taking him to a park to exercise was impossible as he was way too aggressive with any dog he saw. Taking him in the car was also a headache because he barked at everything. Since we have previously owned other dogs with little training problems, these issues came as a huge eye opener. Consideration was certainly given to putting him down. The problems were not just limited to aggressiveness, but he had many training issues such as pulling on the leash, excessive barking, and disobeying commands. We began looking into training options and chose to work with Unleashed Potential in Halifax. Since the first day of training with upk9, Odin’s behavior has greatly improved. We can now take him to the park and enjoy spending time with him and he no longer barks at things when he is in the car. Upk9’s training methods have changed the way we view and care for our dog. We highly recommend Unleashed Potential inHalifax, not just for aggression issues, but for the overall betterment of the life of you and your pet.

PEI Dog Training: Testimonial for UPK9

September 29, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

PEI dog training testimonial of Ginger’s owners regarding the obedience training they received for their dog Ginger:

This is our Saint Bernard Ginger. We got her when she was 6 weeks old.When we first started taking her out for walks she would grab our pant legs and just would not do anything that was asked of her. As she became bigger and more powerful it took my husband and I both just to walk her across the street to the park and even with the two of us holding her she was still able to drag us across the street. We were really thinking we might have to give her away to someone where she could run free on a farm because her behaviour was getting worse and worse and we could not walk her. On the days we would get her out for a walk one of us would come back with a bloody bitten arm where she would grab a hold of our sleeves and go through to our arm. We both have scars from it. Our last hope was to find a dog trainer but even then we thought it wouldn’t help her behaviour problems. We met with Duke and a few weeks later we went out to our first session. I still had doubts at this point.

I was so amazed at the results. I could not believe it was my dog just sitting there while another dog came into the room. Her usual response would be to tackle the dog and make the dog play with her. After we came back from the training center that same night I felt so confident with her that I actually took her for a walk downtown by myself. When we came back I had no blood running down my arm, no bite marks and I walked her without no trouble whatsoever. That was the first time in 3 months I was able to do that. I was so excited when I came home the first thing I did was email Duke with my new found freedom of being able to walk her by myself. We have been training since April 2009 and it has been like a miracle has taken place. She is well behaved now and I can actually let her off the leash in the park and she comes back when she is called. I cannot thank Duke and Nick enough for all there help. I would recommend training with Duke and Staff at Unleashed Potential K9 to anyone and everyone. Walking is such a pleasure now. She is happier since she can get out of the house and I am happier knowing I am in control with the training I received from Duke and his assistant.

Great Dane Wins Ribbons

August 5, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Noble is a 1 yr old Great Dane, whom I had wishes to show.
His show career started off fantastic, then in a heartbeat he developed a fatal flaw that kept him from placing in shows anymore.
I could not find the key to correct this mistake. I contacted his breeder and other ‘show people’, I was offered lots of tips and advice, but nothing seemed to be working.
In a panic I contacted Duke and explained the problem to him – our next show was a week away.
Off to Unleashed Potential Training Center we went – Duke quickly assessed the problem and put us to work – with the help of Duke, Nick and some interesting homework I am thrilled to say that Noble took home 13 ribbons that next show including 4-BOS’s and a BOW!
Without Duke’s expert help and advice, Nobles show career would almost certainty have been over. Instead, we are looking forward to continuing showing him and earning more points towards his Titles.
Thanks again Duke!!
Jeanne and Noble
