20 October 2025 - 22 October 2025
Classes will be taught by Michael and Bart Bellon.
- In the Silver Program, students will focus on NePoPo® theory. Students must first learn the language to be the architect of their own NePoPo® program, customized for each individual dog.
- As we will discuss training systems, we will emphasize how important it is to stay both within the law but also within the perception of the law. It is easy to apply NePoPo® within these confines because NePoPo® is the language of modern dog training and is a politically correct, humane, and effective dog training system that allows broad application while staying within the most restrictive guidelines.
- All students must understand the vocabulary of the behaviorists and the psychologists who teach cognition and memory: e.g. positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, negative punishment, classical conditioning, and operant conditioning and how to apply them all specifically using NePoPo®.
- During the NePoPo® Silver Program, students will learn in depth what PoPo training is, what NePo training is and what NePoPo® training is and the powerful aspects of each system.
- All the students must pass the final exam with a minimum of 90%, to be NePoPo® Silver Graduated.
- Minimum age at participation 21 years old.
