Michael’s comments after completing the NePoPo® Gold School: “I have attended six of Bart and Michael’s dog training workshops since 2011. After each one, I came away with enhanced knowledge. At my very first workshop, I recognized the high value in their teaching methods and asked Bart if some day they would be developing a NePoPo® School. When they built it, I knew I had to attend their Silver and Gold Schools which I proudly completed in 2017.

Bart and Michael are Masters so if you want to be the best you can be, attend their schools! If you’re new to dog training, you’ll learn the best way to train dogs the first time. If you’ve been training dogs for some time as I have; your eyes, mind and heart will become open to new ideas and new horizons beyond your expectations. You and your dogs will train with “heart and soul”.

Invest in yourself and become a NePoPo® Gold Graduate. I’m glad I did!”
