Rescue Dog Izzy’s success story

May 8, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

izzy

We got our dog Isobel, a rescue dog from Labrador, when she was 10 weeks old.  When we got her she had few behavioral issues we had to deal with. Izzy pulled at the leash, jumped on people-dogs-counters, and we also wanted a dog we could walk confidently off leash around other dogs.

The Unleashed Potential Trainer worked with the whole family and taught us how to address each issue. After the first session we noticed a huge improvement in Izzy’s behavior, she was no longer pulling on the leash! We have now finished our in-home sessions and have a lovely, well-behaved family dog! We all enjoy walking Isobel and are confident walking her around other dogs and people. We enjoyed working with Unleashed Potential  a great deal. The Trainer adapted to our specific needs and he was patient, helpful and very knowledgeable.

Phillip, Jennifer, Tessa, Mark and Isobel

E-collar Demonstration – out of control dog

January 27, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

E-collar demonstration with Murphy, an overexcited, energetic dog. Murphy’s owners thought he was an out of control dog. They were then introduced to an e-collar and had a demonstration with Duke Ferguson to learn just how to properly communicate with Murphy and redirect his attention back to them.

Watch this video of an e-collar demonstration I had with the owners of Murphy. A dog they considered out of control which was mostly extra energy he didn’t know how to redirect. At the beginning they can barely hold onto the leash. Watch Murphy at the end.

ScentLogix Testing on Explosive K9’s (video 1)

January 27, 2010 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

This video was taken at the 2009 IABTI (International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators) conference In Halifax.
Police and civilian k9s certified in Explosive detection were used in this test.
The test was to see if the k9’s would alert to the ScentLogix K9 Training aid as it would be their first time ever smelling it.

Unleashed Potential is proud to be able to offer you ScentLogix scents. For more information contact us and ask for Duke or email your questions to upk9.ca.

K9 Demonstration – PEI Festival

July 31, 2009 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Here is 5 minutes video of tidbits of the 1 hour K9 demonstration put on by Duke Ferguson and Nick Duffy during the 2009 Montague Days Festival. it includes obedience, fun tricks, scent detection, bite prevention, jumps, and dock diving. We and our dogs had so much fun and hope to do it again soon!! While Duke and Nick are great trainers, I think Duke’s dogs Taea, Nitro and Cito  and Nick’s dog Ruger stole the show!!!!!

    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. In this episode I get into triggers, trauma, and transformation for you and your dog, and […]
