Where Do I Start? Your Guide to Getting Results with Work Your Pack
So you want to train your dog and you’re staring at a wall of options, advice, and “must-have” courses. Let’s cut through the noise and make this simple.

1. What’s Your Dog’s Starting Point?

  • Puppy (8 weeks to 6 months)?
    Start with Puppy Training Essentials. You’ll cover crate training, socialization, and all the stuff that makes life easier down the road.
  • Adolescent or Adult Dog?
    For most people, Foundational On Leash Obedience NePoPo® Style is the best place to start. This course gives you the core training system, all the terminology, and the foundation you need for everything else. If you’re brand new to my approach, start here—even if your dog’s not a total beginner.
  • Already confident with the system and terminology?
    If you’ve completed Foundational or you’re already dialed in on the basics, Advanced Off Leash Obedience NePoPo® Style is your next step. Advanced is where we introduce the e-collar into the leash system and teach you how to fade the leash for true off-leash reliability.

2. Want to Specialize?

  • Tracking, Scentwork, or Shed Hunting?
    Check out Tracking: Freedom to Hunt Style and Shed Hunting 101.
  • Got a working dog, or interested in bitework?
    Decoy Elements is for serious handlers, trainers, or anyone wanting to understand the art and science behind bitework.
  • Want to build a training culture that lasts?
    Ignite Your Training System is perfect for dogs that have done the basics—whether you have a working canine or just want your pet dog to reach their full potential. Ignite covers cornerstone behaviors like the dopamine box (for confidence building and engagement), the retrieve (for grab-and-give harmony), and the triangle drill (for isolating head position and recall reps). These drills aren’t just for sport—they make everyday training more effective and fun for any dog.
