Unleashed Unlimited
THE Dog Training Blog

Whether it is something completely obvious like teaching a dog to heel off leash in distraction, or something harder to notice like a reactive dog learning to communicate with other dogs; working with dogs and their owners is an extremely satisfying experience.  Seeing the progress in the dogs is fantastic by itself, but seeing the satisfaction and delight in the faces of our clients is priceless.  We are always touched when a client sends us a testimonial or email, refers our services to a friend, or just leaves a training class smiling.  We want to share two recent communications from our clients.

“FYI, we just took the boys to Bull Creek for a field trip and they were fantastic!  Dogs, creek, a lot going on. We never would have imagined that they would be free roaming with other dogs and not run off!  We can’t thank both you and Tracey enough!  I even think sometimes I get more excited about school than Tyler and Riley!   Ya’ll are wonderful, have a great weekend!”

The next email comes to us from an owner whose dog had run away from her several times in the past.  Taking her to the park was a chore because she always had to worry about the dog running off and then tracking her down.  At the time of this email, we had been working with this client for about 3 days.  Already she is seeing positive changes with her dog and is looking forward to upcoming outings with her dog.

“Just wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you how much I appreciate you!  You are so friendly and loving to Bella and so very patient with me.  I know this training experience is going to be great.  I already feel like Bella and I have formed a deeper bond because of your work with us.  Today I took her to my little fenced park and she played for a long time with another dog (her favorite game of chase).  She periodically came over to “check in” with me and let me pet her without being called–something she has never done!  It was very exciting for me.  Thank you again for everything! You two are the best!”

Training your dog really opens the door to enjoying the relationship with your pet.  Whether you work with Unleashed Unlimited Dog Training or anyone else – please train your dog and start having fun with them!

No one can argue the success of Youtube and other video hosting sites on the web.  These sites are great, you can see anything from an Urban Ninja to the Perfect Circle, as well as a ton of other unique skills that we all have.

Along with those unique videos, there are a ton of dog training videos on the site too.  Some of them range from puppies playing, to teaching sit or how to walk on a loose leash.  Some are made by professional dog trainers, and others are made by children who want to show the world their new puppy.  In all, there are over 13,000 videos that directly related to dogs and training.  But, if you were to type “dog training” into the search bar for Youtube, guess what…..?

Unleashed Unlimited Dog Training currently appears third!   Although Unleashed Unlimited has several dog training videos on Youtube, one video has gotten much more attention then the others.  Louie’s Video highlights appears very high in the returned search results (it was #1 for a while), has gotten fantastic viewer feedback, a bunch of positive comments, and over 35,000 views!

Thank you to everyone who has watched the video and shared your comments!

Unleashed Unlimited was asked to perform at half-time of the Austin Amp’d soccer game!  The staff at Soccer Zone in Cedar Park, TX stated that out of all of the dog trainers they spoke with, Unleashed Unlimited Dog Training were the only ones who did what they were looking for.  Unleashed Unlimited was asked to bring the WOW factor to entertain the crowd at the regional finals.

Tracey Gratz and Rudy performed off leash obedience and tricks, while Paul Sulinski played Frisbee with Louie and had him crawling under chairs filled with young fans.

Although we train all of our clients’ dogs in distraction, it is always a good feeling to be surprised by exactly how well trained these dogs are.  There was a lot of noise, screaming kids, soccer balls being kicked back and forth, and the dogs listened to every command given to them; they did not miss a step!

While running a class today at Bull Creek, Unleashed Unlimited Dog Training made an appearance on the news.  News 8 Austin was at the park to document a new program aimed at Scooping the Poop at Bull Creek, and all other local dog parks in the Austin area.

The news segment starts off with a shot of Louie’s ugly mug, and then shows Paul Sulinski and Louie doing a few tricks.  If you look closely, you can see Paul, Tracey Gratz, and a few clients during the class.  At the end of the interview Tyler, our favorite Beagle, can be seen up close as Rudy sprints behind him.
