Shih Tzus, Tanner and Cooper

July 2, 2009 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Duke,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help. When I came to you my 2 shih tzus (Tanner 6 and Cooper 2) were running my house. I was at my wits end!!! They barked constantly(especially when people came to the door), jumped all over people, pulled on the leash during walks, 1 had aggression issues and barked and nipped us when he wanted to play. Life at home was not pleasant at all.

You were my last hope for these dogs and I put off calling you because if it didn’t work the dogs probably had to go!! I had been to obedience class with my oldest dog Tanner and he graduated top of the class. He was perfect in class but when we got home he turned into a nightmare again. I also tried choke chains, prong collars and no pull harnesses… none worked and I felt horrible using them.

Then you arrived on my doorstep and changed our lives. Within the first 10 minutes the dogs had their collars on they were healing loose leash and staying while one of your dogs ran in front of them… I was amazed and even had a tear of relief in my eye.

It has now been 9 months since we started training and we have been doing great. We have had a few bumps along the way but each time I would e-mail you and most times within minutes you replied with a new idea for me to try or corrected what I was doing wrong. That to me is the best part. You are always there with ideas, support and help. The dogs and I love going to group class, it is so much fun!!

Now in the morning when I get the collars out both dogs are sitting at my feet with tails wagging. For anyone that thinks the collars are cruel, my dogs now get to go places they never could before, walk without coughing and gagging from pulling, enjoy having company instead of wanting to eat them, play outside off leash and get lots of exercise and are SO loved!! When we are put walking people constantly comment on what good dogs I have.

Duke, we are SO lucky to have you living in P.E.I. I have total faith in you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. To anyone thinking of training with Duke…. DO IT you won’t regret it!!!
Thanks again Tracy MacKay and Tanner and Cooper

Stephanie, Jason, Mikkayla & Kyia

June 10, 2009 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

Testimonial from Stephanie about the training she received with Kyia.

Just wanted to write a little message expressing our happiness with the training we received through the Kings County K-9 Obedience  (now UPK9) Program. When we started the training with our wonderful Golden Retriever she had a long way to go. We were wondering if this dog would ever calm down long enough for our daughter to enjoy the love of having a pet. Well, guess what she did!!! Our daughter now expects Kyia (our dog) to do everything with her and Kyia even listens to her. Kyia is obedient when ANYONE speaks to her. We are especially proud of the training she obtained in the group sessions as well. It is amazing to see her and watch her reaction when other people or dogs pass us on our walk-there is NO reaction!!!!! This is good. All other dogs run towards her, growl, and barks but Kyia does not even flinch just continues on walking.

We cannot thank UPK9, especially Duke, for the great training, patience, and support with Kyia. She is now a fun, yet still excitable, loving family addition.

Thank you,
