We talk through the behaviors you're seeing and recommend the right program and price.
Training starts — with progress you can see and skills that stick.
When you need real results, not just promises, our board and train programs deliver transformative change. As a NePoPo® Graduate, David Van Fleet brings military and police K9 training methods to your family dog.
The same system used by elite military and police K9 units worldwide for clear communication.
2-8 week programs tailored to your dog's specific needs and behavioral challenges.
Comprehensive handoff sessions ensure you can maintain your dog's new skills at home.
Lifetime support for all commands trained — we stand behind our training with ongoing guidance after hand off and beyond.
Regular video updates and training reports keep you connected to your dog's progress.
Training includes premium tools and equipment for lasting results.
Most trainers hand your dog back and call it "graduation." We do things differently.
From the moment your dog arrives, you're connected through K9Bridge — our proprietary software built by David Van Fleet. You'll receive training updates, photos, and progress reports throughout the entire stay.
When training is complete, we hand off your dog with comprehensive sessions so you know exactly how to maintain every command. But this isn't graduation — it's the beginning of your part.
After hand off, you and your dog prove the training stuck — through video verification and real-world follow-through on K9Bridge. When you've demonstrated mastery together, you both earn your graduation certificate. Not just the dog. Both of you.
"I built K9Bridge because great training was failing — not because of the dogs, but because owners didn't have a system to follow through. Now they do."
— David Van Fleet, NePoPo® Graduate & K9Bridge Creator
