NEPOPO® Professional Dog Trainer for Dog Training and Puppy Training

What Is a NePoPo® Dog Training System?

NePoPo® is a negative-positive-positive dog training system where the dog learns to do, on cue, with Heart and soul. And when the dog knows the behavior and gets that inevitable correction, instead of being demotivated, the dog comes back better than ever.

Spontaneous Dog Behavior Verses Trained

  1.  Have you ever noticed a dog pick up his food bowl, all happy - eyes burning like cigarettes, tail wagging, ears up - and bring it to you to fill… but when you try to get him to pick up something in a training session, he won’t touch the item you want him to take?
  2. Or a dog sniffing while on a walk - you can’t pull him away from the smells! But when you try to train him in scent work, he acts like he doesn’t have a nose. 

First, we have to ask WHY does a dog do?

Why does he do it passionately when it’s his invention, but when you want him to do the same thing, he thinks it’s torture? 


A dog behaves to better his situation, not because you are his owner or handler, and he loves you.


He does this because he sees an advantage in the behavior. 

HOW does a dog better his own situation?

  1. Thru Positive Reinforcement (PoPo), 
  2. Negative Reinforcement (NePo), and 
  3. Negative Positive Positive Reinforcement, NePoPo® 
  4. When we like the behavior, and we know the dog knows the behavior, then we can apply    

a. corrections (stop fooling around and do the one thing I told you to do) 

b. or aversives (do not do that one thing and do anything else), for when we don’t want the behavior to repeat.

Two systems used in NePoPo®

  1. Operant Conditioning starts with spontaneous behavior. If we like the behavior, we encourage it with PoPo, NePo, and NePoPo®. And if we don't like the behavior, we can ignore it or discourage it with corrections and aversives. 
  2. We put behaviors on command using Classical Conditioning, one new signal replacing a well-known sign. 


With this "Dual Reinforcement Dog Training," a dog does  

"Always On Cue, Performance with Heart & Soul." ®


NePoPo® is a Registered Service Mark of Bart Bellon and Michael Bellon and is used here with permission.

Training within a Legal Framework

It is Forbidden without a Valid Reason to inflict pain on a dog where suffering will follow. 

There are only two Valid Reasons:

1. To save the life of a dog. 

2. To save the life of a human.

Training is done without Stress

Stress is an organism's uncontrollable physiological and psychological response due to pressure.
