Unleashed Potential K9

Excellent class today Sara! Thank you! We learn lots every Saturday at Puppy School and are enjoying the results!

I have learned so much from Duke Ferguson. My dog is a bit of a conundrum and his training products are helping me crack her code. Thanks so much.

We were thrilled to have Kylo experience Unleashed Potential NB with Isabelle while we vacationed in Hawaii. What was scheduled as two weeks of maintenance training unexpectedly turned into 3 weeks (including over Christmas) due to flight cancellations. Our goals were to improve Kylo’s overall confidence, get him started on muzzle conditioning, and get a clearer idea of his dog reactivity in a controlled environment so we could better utilize tools and tips that would work more effectively for his personality.

Isabelle completely exceeded our expectations. Being a young lab that is quite gear shy, nervous and somewhat fearful of loud noises, Isabelle was able to work at Kylo’s pace to get him comfortable in lots of new situations. Isabelle was able to provide us with some new ways to continue to see progress in training and with Kylo’s behaviours as we had experienced some plateaus as of late and were struggling to find ways to overcome them.

With lots of photos, videos and text messages, we were kept up to date on his progress. Isabelle provided lots of instruction on what she was working on and working through. Kylo most definitely came home a more confident boy who was eager to work and was 100% dialled in with his training thanks to UPK9.

Our first-ever experience boarding a dog while vacationing was the perfect decision for Kylo and the best solution for us. We look forward to more maintenance training in the years to come.

I have yet to find a local UPK9 near me in West Virginia Eastern Panhandle, but I've watched all the training videos that are free to watch on YouTube and I get so inspired!

My biggest and most frustrating problem is that, I got my sweet GSD puppers, and was able to get our FSW payments to pay for training her as a therapy dog. I've got 50 years of unchecked ADHD with a healthy dose of anxiety and depression. While in training, we were great! But the money soon ran out, and though I know some basics, my terrible lack of consistency is keeping me from training my GSD as my own therapy dog. Sort of Catch 22.

My guilt and shame that I feel for having this amazingly smart and active dog here with me, and me unable to train her how she needs to be trained on a consistent basis. She's a runner and I too was a runner, until the panic attacks have become more frequent and intense. Now, just the thought of going for a run will push me over the edge, which is SO unbelievable.

My next problem - I thought she could use another dog companion so that she could get some play time, has backfired. The dog that was given to us is, well, lets just say a black lab mixed with - something larger and scarier. Now, he's very sweet and he gets lippy sometimes, and is easy to cool that off, but he's decided to become Mr. Dominant, and now my sweet GSD is scared of him.... I seem to keep doing one thing wrong after another.

I would LOVE to take Loki and me to a nice Unleashed vacation to learn the ropes, but currently not earning what I need to get us there.

Duke is one of the nicest person have ever met ,his a good coach and mentor. He doesn't only help you with dogs alone ,he helps you to find the true meaning of life and pushes/ignites you to work smart & not harder. It's for this reason that i age you to do one of Duke's program at unleashed potential.@unleashed potential k9 "the future is blight"❤️
