The NePoPo® School is a world-renowned school & community that excels in dog education. The NePoPo® dog training methodology has been developed by Michael & Bart Bellon and stands for Negative – Positive – Positive dog training.

NePoPo® is a language of communication. Like any modern language, NePoPo® evolves.
This is why NePoPo® is often referred to as 'The Language of Modern Dog Training'.
