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 is awesome! We rescued our Lab/CD mix, Chloe, from a not-so-great environment, and she struggles with a lack of confidence and general fear, which developed into resource guarding as she got more comfortable with us. Jon met us at a local dog park to work on safe exposure to other dogs, gauging her tolerable threshold for being able to stay calm and not react anxiously at the sight of another dog (especially the little guys!). Jon gave us some great tips and homework, and we even saw an example of a non-observant dog owner at the park, whose dog attacked another dog. We all saw the signs immediately when they first arrived at Squirrel Ridge, and unfortunately our suspicions came true. I highly recommend giving Jon a try, so far we’ve had a great experience! We’re grateful for Jon’s professional experience and guidance and are really happy to be working with him with our scaredy-cat, Chloe. We’re looking forward to the end results of his professional expertise!

Jon worked with me today, for an hour, on my dog’s reactivity to other dogs while walking on a leash. This was the most productive hour I have ever spent in a dog training session. Jon is helpful, professional, approachable, and kind. He truly understands canine behavior !! He taught me how to train my dog out of his reactive mind set, and helped me understand my role as the leader. He reviewed the concepts learned afterwards, and gave me a reminder sheet reviewing the concepts. Money well spent!!!!! I definitely recommend Jon for any and all of your canine training needs!!!!

Just got off the phone with the owner, John. While they don't provide the rattlesnake training I wad looking for specifically, he spent a good 20 min on the phone with me helping me find the service I'm in need of, and gave multiple recommendations. If I ever need behavior training for my pup, I know where I'm going. Solid guy
