Huge congratulations to this amazing group of dog trainers for earning their NePoPo® Gold Certifications in Arizona this week! 🐾✨

The energy and camaraderie in this group were truly exceptional. Every morning, they came together with full “ignition,” eager to dive into discussions, role-playing exercises, and hands-on breakout sessions with their dogs.

This diverse group traveled from all corners of the country—California, Michigan, Indiana, Tennessee, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona—to be part of this incredible experience. Each participant was humble, open-minded, and incredibly supportive of one another, creating an atmosphere of mutual respect and growth.

The curriculum focused on the NePoPo® alphabet, bridging the pet industry and working dog worlds. We also explored small business strategies and project management to round out the week.

A big thank you to for creating such a powerful platform to learn and teach within the NePoPo® system. And a heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this week so enriching and inspiring!

Safe travels home, and keep the training momentum going!
Cheers, and happy training! 🐕🎉

Big Grimm is back at RYP. This 120 malinois is one of the biggest I’ve ever seen - but such a rad dog to work with . He came here last spring to work on his foundations : reward systems, leash comm systems and training culture overall. His handler is wonderful and put in GREAT WORK. He’s now back to start working on e collar/off leash languages…and let me tell you he’s a different dog (in a good way).

He’s confident, driven, enthusiastic and ripe for more training. He learned today that feeling low level stim = good things are coming. By learning to love controlling the direftional language of electronics we build a strong confident base more dynamic training can be built upon.

The premier of ‘To Build a Fire’ 🔥 just played for the first time in Missoula Montana this evening. This adaptation of Jack London’s famous story featured my little gsd Liesel Weapon.

The director did an outstanding job storytelling and (call me biased) Liesel was a show stopper on the big screen. Keep an eye out for this film making its way around the country at film festivals! 🎞️

This project was very special to me. Jack London had a tremendous impact on me as a kiddo. His books were a big player in my fascination with dogs and the mountain west.

To be called upon to help with the production of this WITH one of my dogs was a serendipitous experience.

Jack London and I also share a birthday (January 12) and principal filming ended on January 12 two years ago. To see the final product tonight was very special.

Cheers to director Jennings Barmore and the whole cast and crew. 🍻 outstanding job 👏

Dear Missoula (and surrounding areas),

For the forseeable future I (Chris) will be scaling back board and train programs and ONLY offering private lesson programs that pair off my video courses now available for purchase and streaming on www.workyourpack.com

WYP video courses has been a many year project with many awesome trainers involved to get where it is.

I am excited to announce I will now be teaming up with other like minded trainers around the country (and Canada) to develop more hybrid learning experiences for their clients too!

The model we are working to build is that students have a multimedia reference course for pre study - THEN they can work in person with trainers within the network for application and nuanced coaching. Many of these trainers also include remote, live online classroom option too!

Our aim is to better educate, entertain, ensnare and drive home concepts for long term success and harmony between humans and their canine companions.

Between the new courses in production and the travel for teaching/filming my schedule is a bit all over the place (hence the private lesson only programs for awhile)

If you have not already checked out our growing multimedia catalogue please check it out here: www.workyourpack.com
👉Courses can be gifted too!

If you are interested in learning more about our private lesson programs that pair with these courses please visit www.runyourpack.com or shoot me an email! [email protected]

Cheers and happy training 👊

My boi is back in Montana. Our next NePoPo®️ Gold School kicks off tomorrow with dog trainers traveling in from around the country to expand their knowledge in the art of modern dog training. 🧠

Guess you can say we are hooked on teaching NePoPo®️. Guess you could say teaching is a reel passion of ours. Guess you could say we are ready to tackle the week…

Another wonderful puppy from our friends dropped into the yurt today to kickoff their puppy training program. Meet Oslo - a 9week old smush faced rad little dude 🥹

I’ll be working with at least 2 puppies from this litter over the next few months. I’ll also be using a grizzly golden to wrap up some filming on our revamped puppy training video course on workyourpack.com - launching in the next couple weeks!

Lilly stopped by the RYP yurt to kickoff her puppy training program. This is an early stage jumpstart program that will prepare young dogs and their handlers to start building a training culture that can be built upon in our foundational/advanced program as the dog matures!
