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!

Rescued a lab pit mix and after a month of little progress our dog started getting a little too bity and aggressive. Found North Florida K9 behavior center and Jon came out the next day. He really helped us with getting inside our dogs mind and reasoning why she does the bad things she does. It's literally only been one day but following his guidelines our dog seems to already be more responsive. Thank you Jon, very much.

John is helping me and my reactive chihuahua mix. He was able to get her to calm down within 30 minutes of meeting her which is practically unheard of for my reactive girl. I can’t wait to schedule more sessions and get her fully trained.

I reached out for help with my dog being reactive towards other dogs and people while going on walks. Jon came and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me set up a plan and took a walk with us so that he could show me what to do. I have already seen great improvement and less reactivity. I am grateful for Jon’s help!

John came out to help us with our 1yr old German Shepherd. He was very professional and informative, helping us learn how to be assertive and have our dog focus and listen to us. My husband and I feel much better on how to communicate with our dog what we want him to do and when instead of letting him run the show (more so with me cause he's so cute and it's hard for me to not give him lots of love all the time.) :) Just after the initial in-home consultation i'm seeing results and I'm extremely satisfied. I highly recommend John and North Florida K9. :)

My husband and I called for help. We were having some issues with our two dogs: Doberman, and Cane Corso mix. We really enjoyed the experience of having a trainer coming to our home, and seeing by himself how the dogs act in their own territory, and to be taught how to properly take care and train our dogs. Anyone who needs professional help with their dogs should contact North Florida K9 Behavior Center!
