Unleashed Potential

Two more German Shepherds unleashed and enjoying life. Read this testimonial.

Luckily we found you guys recently. We needed help with our two German shepherds aged one and two. They each had their different share of problems and Ted individualized each dogs training based on their different personalities and needs. We had problems with both dogs barking in the car, pulling on the leash, charging the door when people would come to the door, leaving the yard and recall, just to name a few. With one of our dogs, there was a fear of large men other dogs. Ted showed us the proper techniques to use for all of our problems with both dogs and within one training session we noticed a massive improvement.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The dogs don’t bark in the car anymore, no more pulling on leash, they sit at the door and wait for people to come in and out, they never leave the yard, they are doing great with the recall and no more fear of large men. Friends and family have noticed the difference and asked “What’s your secret?” Ted is our secret! Ted goes above and beyond the limits of being a dog trainer and is always there for us. His professionalism and knowledge made the training very pleasant and the fact that he came into our home and worked around our schedule was perfect for us. I would recommend them to any four legged friend that I may meet. Thank you Ted, you have truly changed our lives.

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

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,

Puppy Testimonial for 9 month old Gatsby.

Hello Duke, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with Gatsby’s progress and your training. We are most fortunate to have you (KCK9 Academy) on Prince Edward Island and your wealth of knowledge..
Gatsby was about 9 months old when I purchased him. He was full of puppy energy and extremely strong. I would try to walk him with Bogart, who is in his 13th year. Gatsby would lunge at every dog we met on our walks, literally pulling me with him or he would run in front of me and trip me. If I let him off leash in the Park he would run away to play with other dogs and would only come to me at his convenience. Not to mention the portable phones and art books he chewed while he was given the run of my home when I went out. Now, he walks beside me, no more lunging or pulling me off my feet, and he is lavished with compliments “what a well behaved dog” every day by people we meet on our walks. He also plays off leash daily at the Park and comes the moment he is called even if he is engaged in a game with his buddies . He will go to “His Place” about 300 feet away from where he is given the command at the Park and sits until he is called, and no more chewing phones and books.. Thanks to your training.
I must confess, I had real reservations about using a “remote collar”, but when I saw how well trained my neighbors three dogs were and they had nothing but high praise for you and your training I was sold. Now, I realize how much easier, effective, and humane way it is to train a dog rather then the way I trained Bogart 12 years ago(before your company existed) using a choke collar/halty and lead. I am really surprised with how much Bogart is learning now from Gatsby. They are both males and get along beautifully.
I am very pleased with what we have accomplished over the past several months Duke and although we have lots to learn, I look forward to strengthening the bond with Gatsby through our training.

Chinook has turned into a great dog. At first I did not want to let him outside of my control for training but Kelly was wise and could see where this aggressive dog was going. You have helped to make him a great pet and a wonderful buddy for Kelly and I. Well appreciated. I can take him anywhere. We have traveled to NB, NS, and NFLD with Chinook and stayed in cabins and hotels as well as on the NFLD Ferry and of course in the kayak. He is 10 months old and doing great.

Transformed NS Duck Tolling Retriever!!!

Dear Duke,
I have witnessed a miracle! Maddie, my 3 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever has been transformed. People who knew Maddie before she was “Duked” now use adjectives such as unbelievable, unreal, amazing, awesome, and “is that really the same dog?”
Maddie used to be dominate, assertive, harassing, controlling, noisy and objectionable. She sounds terrible but while being all of the above she was really only high energy and in many ways delightful.
After just 3 weeks of training Maddie was a changed dog. However, the start was difficult with Duke admitting that Maddie was one of the more stubborn dogs he had seen … so after our first lesson I was on my own and a great battle for control began between us and honestly for the first couple of days I really thought Maddie was going to win. By our second lesson with Duke, just one week later progress had been made. And then one day Maddie conceded, I had control and our relationship strengthened and a bond was finally there.
Maddie is now totally obedient and the thing I notice most is the change to her personality … she no longer barks when she wants something, she doesn’t harass my guests to play Frisbee, she is quiet (in fact I have never been able to teach her the quiet command because she doesn’t bark when she shouldn’t), she doesn’t chase cars any more and she has stopped barking at doors which was her most annoying quirk.
Maddie and I are grateful to Duke and his training techniques … Maddie is now a real pleasure to live with and harmony reins … many thanks!
