About NORTH FLORIDA K9 BEHAVIOR CENTER
USING COMPASSIONATE, POSITIVE, FORCE-FREE METHODS: THE MODERN APPROACH TO CANINE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT Positive-Only methods involve building a lasting, lifetime relationship of trust between the human and dog, it means making it fun for the dog to learn and do what it is asked to do. This is accomplished by teaching the dog to ‘WORK” for a reward, which is either a treat, a favorite toy, or simply playing with you! Dogs see any type of attention, affection, activity or treat as a reward for a job done. It is much easier and repeatable to train a dog using positive-only methods than by the old methods, because the dogs enjoy doing the task and will respond willingly and much more reliably to their training!

Jon was a great help for our dog aggression behavior. He had some great suggestions for us to follow and he was receptive to the dogs interactions. Thank you Jon
We had the pleasure of meeting Jon for our 8 month old German shepherd/ Husky mix. He helped us keep our pup calm when the doorbell rang or door was knocked, which usually makes him go crazy! He also usually pulls so much when walking with his leash on, but within 10 minutes Jon …Read full reviewClose full review
We had the pleasure of meeting Jon for our 8 month old German shepherd/ Husky mix. He helped us keep our pup calm when the doorbell rang or door was knocked, which usually makes him go crazy! He also usually pulls so much when walking with his leash on, but within 10 minutes Jon taught us how to work with a reward system and our puppy no longer pulls on the leash!! Thank you Jon, we will definitely need you for our second puppy soon!! Amazing trainer, if I could give 10 stars I would!

John W. is outstanding in his speciality. True to his words, he has a non-punitive approach which worked very well with our dog--which we adopted 8 months ago at seven years old. She took to John immediately and John noted several things about her from the get-go which helped us to understand her much better. John is not a clock watcher either as he gave us more than the hour we reserved. He left us with easy to do training methods to alter our dog's behavior so that her life is happier and less stressed. If needed we'll have John come around again though it appears he was thorough in his work with us and that might not be needed :)
We called Jon for our Border Collie's aggressive barking at visitors. After just a short time of Jon's tips and specific instructions during the initial consult, Brodie was calm and quiet. We saw it with our own eyes! Jon is great at reading dogs and their owners in their own home, critical for owners to begin practicing solutions right away. We highly recommend him.
