Hey!! I am heading to Florida for the week to meet with a few trainers and people in need and to have a dog training workshop JUST FOR YOU!! at the Dog Obedience Group of Jax inc. See Facebook page for more info:
If you’re in that neck of the woods or at least closer than I am traveling from Prince Edward Island ( about 1,800 miles away) lets get together! I’d love the opportunity to get to meet you and your dog and help you with any issues you may have!
Join me for a 2 day dog training workshop Feb 2nd and 3rd 9am-5pm Jacksonville Florida & learn how to get the very best out of your dog using the modern day NePoPo® training system.
Location: 4555 Wesconnett Blvd, Jacksonville, Florida 32210
A E-COLLAR Valued at $300! keep reading below for more details!
You can see My bio HERE
Come and learn a modern day, real world, balanced approach that is based on science, mother nature and creativity. Learn to get your dog to respond to you with heart and soul, learn the NePoPo® way!
Who can attend this workshop? Professional companion dog trainers & service dog trainers, rescue groups, volunteers & fosters, dog walkers, boarding and training daycare workers, k9 handlers & dog sport enthusiasts who want to better their knowledge and skills and have the dogs perform at a higher level. I also welcome companion pet owners who are in need of help fixing undesired behaviours and who want to decrease stress, and liability in their life.
There are no special audit spots and working spots so everyone is welcome to bring their dog as this will be a hands on workshop. If you choose not to bring a dog that is fine, you will still have a chance to do some hands on….even if your training a human. 😉
All breeds and all behaviour issues are welcome….including aggression. (muzzles are required for any reactive or aggressive dogs).
“Preparation Homework” IMPORTANT NOTE!!
ALL DOGS MUST BE HUNGRY, MOTIVATED AND WILLING TO WORK!
All who are attending should watch this 6 video mini series to prepare for this event at the link below.

For the best results make sure you bring the dog hungry, motivated and willing to work. Bring regular meals and rewards of high value to the dog, like treats and a toy.
The title may be called “The Art of Attention” and the group focus exercise on day two is just one fun helpful thing we do to get serious attention and control when needed for safety and sanity reasons….BUT… it is not just about having the dog look at you. This workshop is so much more than that.
It’s teaching you a complete system that creates harmony, clear communication, ignition, hope and a love for all behaviours the dog is to perform for you.
It’s about you learning to successfully condition the dog to willingly and eagerly pay attention to you and what you want the dog to do while giving you heart and soul.
It’s about learning to condition automatic responses and having the dog think and make wise choices.
It’s teaching you a powerful system that enables you to get the most from your dog with the least amount of effort. This system is the reason I named a series of You Tube videos on Unleashed Potential K9 TV “The Lazy Dog Trainer”.
It’s about teaching you how to build an amazing relationship between you and your dog.
It’s about having life changing experiences, ah-ha moments, taking the system home and implementing it in daily life.
What will you be learning at the Art of Attention workshop?
- Understand why dogs do what they do, how they do it and what we need to do about it to help the dog find its advantage.
- Learn the NePoPo® recipe and tools used.
- Understanding clear communication and establishing it with the dog.
- 3 keys of training and shaping behaviours.
- Pros & cons of positive training. Pros and cons of using pressure, corrections and punishment.
- Charging marks, free shaping vs luring and hands-on training exercises with people and then dogs.
- E-collar conditioning and working hands on with people then dogs.
- Understanding behaviours as well as how to shape and modify them.
- One-on-one work with your dog and me.
- Group work adding distractions.
I fully understand that all people & dogs who are attending will have different levels of experience, different behaviour issues and different goals. I will be sure to work at everyone’s individual level and adjust the training recipe according to each persons and dogs needs.
In past workshops I have trained everything from deaf dogs, blind dogs, children and dogs, older dogs, puppies, people in wheelchairs and those who have other disabilities.

Hi Duke,
This question is in reference to Advanced E Collar Training. I am 4-6 weeks away from getting my puppy(GSD) how long do we have access to the video’s? I would like to purchase this training before I pickup my new puppy to get a head start.
Thanks,
Sandy Stormer says
Oh how I would love to come to this training, but do to work commitments I won’t be able to come. Is your NePoPo training in the training videos along with the ecollar training? Do you have videos on the package I purchased original whenI contacted you to start Marvin’s training. Is the NePoPo something brand new, I would love to learn and practice it with Marvin. Btw he is so food motivated now, thanks to you.
Elena says
Hey Duke, do you have plans to do any clinics or seminars in Toronto??
