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 the one-on-one, in-home option, covering everything from everyday obedience to reactivity and aggression.
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.
See the 4 programs →Private Training
Focused, in-home sessions built around whatever your dog needs — obedience, leash pulling and manners, through to reactivity and aggression — 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.
