Credentialed.
Built on results.
Nathan is a NePoPo certified, Cert IV qualified dog trainer. Board & Train is run for every dog — it's where the best, most lasting results happen. Private Training is reserved exclusively for reactive or aggressive dogs.
Two programs. Two purposes.
They're not interchangeable, and they're not competing for the same dogs. Each one exists for a specific reason.
Board & Train
This is where the best results happen — full immersion, daily structure, real-world exposure. Obedience, recall, behaviour, off-leash reliability. Whatever your dog needs, built properly over 2 to 8 weeks, residentially.

A narrower, deliberate exception. Focused, in-home sessions built specifically around a dog that reacts or bites — assessed and handled with the care that requires, offered only as 5 or 10-session packages.
See Private Training →Balanced. Not ideological.
The NePoPo method is reward-led wherever possible, with clear structure and fair consequences where they're actually needed. Tools like a Dogtra or Educator e-collar are introduced only after foundation work is solid, only with proper conditioning, and never as a shortcut. Every tool used is explained to you before it's introduced — nothing happens sight-unseen.
The goal isn't a dog that complies out of fear. It's a dog that's genuinely, reliably well-behaved — which is the only kind of result that holds up once the program ends and life goes back to normal.
