David Van Fleet - NePoPo® Graduate
As a NePoPo® Graduate, I bring specialized expertise to dog training in the Maryville area. The NePoPo® system isn't just another training method—it's a scientifically-proven approach that creates lasting behavioral change through clear communication and trust.
With over 25 years training dogs (5+ professionally) and certifications from the most respected organizations in dog training, I've helped hundreds of local families transform their relationships with their dogs.
NePoPo® (Negative-Positive-Positive) is an advanced training system that only a select few trainers in the United States are certified to practice.
