Unleashed Potential Dog Training

One simple thing I do to give dogs something to chew on at the end of the day: the Starmark Everlasting Treat Wheeler stuffed with a nutritious raw blend. Keeps them happy, healthy, and busy!" - Duke Ferguson 🐶 #DogTraining #HealthyDogs #RawFeeding #UnleashedPotential #DukeFerguson

The 9D Down Regulation Journey for Stress and Anxiety is a calming, one-hour guided breathwork session designed to gently ease participants into relaxation. Ideal for those experiencing stress or seeking integration after a more intensive somatic experience, this journey incorporates techniques like belly breathing, box breathing, and the 4-2-6 method to release tension and promote mental clarity. With a focus on calm, centeredness, and serenity, this session helps you shed accumulated stress, leaving you with a renewed sense of peace and balance.

Dogs bring you joy. Life at times can be filled with lots of stress and anxiety. As a dog trainer, I also have found that working with people is equally as rewarding and transformational. This is why I became certified in a method called 9D Breathwork. I wanted to share this opportunity with you to explore it. Go to https://9d.dukeferguson.com and learn more about it. On Wednesday Sept 11th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM Atlantic time, I'm holding a paid session where you can dive into reducing Stress and Anxiety. Listen to this audio where I explain what it's all about.

Gaitor the one eyed pitty had his first e-collar training lesson recently! 🙌His owner wants to have be able to let him off leash, but due to missing an eye, there’s a big risk he won’t be aware of someone trying to get his attention adn that’s not safe. With tactile communication from the collar he will eventually know to turn and respond when he feels stim. He did great in his first lesson with Coach Sara! #dogtrainer #dogtraining #unleashedpotentialk9 #dogs #positivereinforcement

Alex had a goal of walking her dog down the street without Bobbie being deemed aggressive. Her experience with us was transformational for their relationship. Do you have a similar goal for your dog?

Had a great afternoon training Charlie & Lucy’s owners before they took the dogs home to Halifax after their board and train. We trained at my house first, then at beautiful Westmoreland River Nature Park in Crapaud and ended off in Gateway Village. Everyone did so well! I’m going to miss these two so much! Hard to say goodbye! They’ll be back for Maintenance Stays in the future I’m told. Can’t wait! #puppies #puppyclass #pei #unleashedpotentialk9 #dogtrainerfun

Our e-collars are 100% fully waterproof. As you see Kya swimming here wearing an e-collar.

I took board and trains Charlie and Lucy to the Irish moss Festival in Tignish on Canada Day. Was a great test of their skills in a high distraction environment. They’ve gone from pulling and barking to calmly heeling in tandem! Woot! ~ Coach Sara, UPK9

Do you have a dog who is constantly pulling/lunging on the leash when any kind of distraction goes by? Are they showing signs of reactivity such as uncontrollable barking or growling? How would it feel to have your dog walk by your side in heel & look up to you when a distraction goes by instead of reacting? Book your free consult through the link below and lets get back to stress-free, controlled walks together! 😊🙌🏻 www.dukeferguson.com/consultationbooking - Coach Isabelle UPK9 NB #upk9 #dogtraining

First time doing double dog heeling in high distractions! 🙌🏻These dogs are from Halifax so navigating the busy streets is a must! By practicing a lot of turns I’m setting the stage for success for the dogs to have motivation to maintain their positions. This will set me up for linear walks with no deviation from their assigned spots! Next up we gotta find some dogs to walk by! We saw none today. 😅 - Coach Sara UPK9 PEI www.upk9.ca www.dukeferguson.com #upk9 #dogtraining

Why letting your dog free range so much on hikes sets you up for failure when distractions show up. - Coach Sara UPK9 PEI www.upk9.ca www.dukeferguson.com #upk9 #dogtraining

Charlie & I met up with past Board & Train Nelson and his owner Cheryl at Vic Park! We went for a walk to see how the boys do in such high distractions. Both boys were so good and it’s hard to believe that they are both dog reactive and that this is their first time meeting eachother! 🙌🏻🤩 - Coach Sara UPK9 PEI www.upk9.ca www.dukeferguson.com #upk9 #dogtraining

What 3 months of hard work training a reactive dog looks like 🤩🙌🏻 Mostly all the dogs we see come through our doors have some form of reactivity.
