About Us

Unleashed Potential was founded in 2002 by Pam and Nick Booras out of a passion to teach people the subtle language of our wonderful canine companions.

After many years of training, behavioral problem solving, working in shelters and training facilities, attending seminars, workshops, and accredited classes we felt a need to better educate the human end of the equation on the language of the dog.

We have used various methods of training through the years and have found a unique approach to teaching used in all of our group and private classes. 

We work with the whole animal; body, mind and spirit that follows a gentle yet effective training process designed to fulfill your dog’s greatest potential. We offer group classes on a limited basis and offer private behavioral consultations at both our Ottawa and St. Charles locations.
