When other trainers failed this schnauzer UPK9 Halifax pulled him through!

November 20, 2012 By Duke Ferguson Leave a Comment

When Other Trainers failed this schnauzer  Unleashed Potential made the difference in this dogs life!

Ginger-large

– Dear Unleashed Potential, I wanted to write and say a Huge THANK YOU!!  for all of your help with Ginger. As you know, before we met you, we worked with TWO other dog trainers  and felt like we had tried everything. 100% positive reinforcement training, and then correction based methods. Despite all of our work with her, Ginger was still almost impossible to walk because she would bark and lunge at dogs, growl at children, and bark at anyone who tried to speak to us on the street. It was so bad that we would get up before dawn so we could walk her when no one else was around. We had pretty much given up until I found your website.

Since starting to work with you we have seen such amazing progress!

I never thought I would say that I now enjoy walking our dog, and after going through private, semi private classes and now group classes, I am beyond shocked to say that we are now working with her off leash at the park! 🙂

We still have work to do, but it is most notable is that Ginger seems to be building confidence and really seems like a happier dog. Our dog that used to be scared of everyone and everything, is becoming more curious and outgoing. It’s really remarkable to see. Throughout this process, I have been very impressed with your ability to match your recommendations to the individual needs of each dog. You truly care about dogs and their owners. Keep up the great work  and thanks again!
