Houston 25-27 November 2019
“I had a fantastic time in Houston, TX at Pat Stuart’s NePoPo Seminar. Pat Stuart is an exceptional teacher! He has a very deep knowledge of this system and can explain complex processes in a way that is relatable and engaging.
Before the seminar, I had a very basic understanding of the NePoPo System from the small amount of information that is available. After three days diving into theory and watching it be applied in different ways to increase drive, strengthen focus and create clarity for the dogs and the handlers; I cannot wait to go home and start implementing this system with my personal dogs and bring parts of this system into work with my pet dog clients.
My biggest take away from the seminar is that this system without a doubt, can create a reliable dog with a powerful performance, and love for the work at any age... but in the bigger picture, it is about raising a dog that feels good about himself/herself that can overcome adversity with confidence and purpose. I will raise every puppy from here on out on the principles of this system, whether that puppy for the bite games, the hunting field, or a family pet.
I recommend Pat's NePoPo Seminar to anyone who wants to learn what this system is really all about, anyone trying to pinpoint holes in their own training system or anyone who is looking to bring their skill and their dogs to the next level in any work they may do.”

“Had such a great time at this seminar. It's really difficult to concisely express exactly how much this experience impacted me. I was able to reconcile a lot ofconflicting feelings and thoughts, insecurities, etc. I have a path set before me... now all I need to do is to take it.
Thanks to Josh with Houston DogWorks for being a great host, Pat with Operant Canine for being willing to fly across the world to share his expertise in such a powerful way, and to all the awesome trainers and enthusiasts I got to spend quality time with. Now let's go train some dogs!”

Thanks Pat Stuart for an amazing seminar, tons of info to digest over the next few weeks, and some new tools to practice and implement. If anyone is looking forsome knowledge in NePoPo outside of Bart’s school hit up Pat at Operant Canine! I highly recommend one of his seminars or just hourly sessions with him via Skype!
Also a huge thanks to Josh Wiggins for hosting! If your in the Houston area this is the place to train. Houston DogWorks

“It is a breath of fresh air to attend an obedience based workshop who’s presenter is both passionate in presenting but also purposeful in his efforts to reach every individual in an audience with a rather diverse background. Full of information this workshop was extremely motivational and I definitely hope to learn more about the NePoPo system in general.
Both Rain and I received great instruction in the following private session. Pat coached me on building prey drive, new confidence building ideas and then worked with 6 month old Rain directly. Really fantastic experience all the way around!”
