I know a few of you have been wondering where I was and what I was learning a couple weeks ago; teaser is over! 🤭
Over the last few months, I’ve been undergoing virtual training, and to bring those studies to a close, I spent a week in PEI with Duke Ferguson at Unleashed Potential to complete my Professional Dog Trainer Certification, and what an incredible week it was!!
A huge thank you to Duke for sharing so much of his knowledge, experience and perspective with us. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone who has spent his whole life working with dogs, and developing his understanding of training, behaviour and communication.
During our in-person week, I got to work alongside brand new board and train dogs as they began their journeys, work with day train regulars, and venture out with the dogs into a variety of environments, including semi-private and group classes.
We also stepped outside of the dog world for an afternoon to visit a falconry; exploring how the same principles of learning can be applied across different species and animal training industries. It was such a cool experience, and only solidified my appreciation for just how much there is to learn about animal behaviour.
I’m incredibly grateful for the time I got to spend at Unleashed Potential; for the dogs, the people, the knowledge, the conversations, and all of the experiences I get to bring home with me. Thank you and Duke and the Unleashed Potential crew, for welcoming me in and allowing me to be a small part of what you do. 🤍
Now comes the fun part; putting all of that learning into practice!
There’s a little behind-the-scenes housekeeping happening as I get everything ready, but I’m excited to start sharing what’s coming next.
