North Florida K9 Behavior Center - Certified Dog Trainer - Gainesville, FL
With over a decade of experience in pet behavior modification and dog training, I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues such as reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, and more. As a certified professional in dog obedience and agility training, I hold a business license and am adept in using tools like clickers, head collars, and martingale collars. My approach is rooted in empathy and listening, as I firmly believe that dogs communicate through their bodies, eyes, and vocalizations. By understanding their unique language, I tailor my training to meet their individual needs, ensuring a harmonious relationship between you and your furry companion.
I utilize positive reinforcement and rewards-based methods, backed by scientific research, to modify and reshape unwanted behaviors. My philosophy is centered on patience and compassion, allowing each dog to learn at its own pace while building confidence. Whether it's house-training or improving recall, my goal is to empower you with the skills to effectively train your dog. Understanding that each pet is unique, I offer personalized training sessions that focus on creating a comfortable and supportive learning environment for both you and your dog.
I am passionate about helping pet parents create lasting bonds with their dogs and am committed to delivering results that bring peace and joy to your home. If you're ready to embark on a rewarding journey with your pet, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's work together to transform your dog's behavior and enhance your relationship.

Customer Reviews
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! - Gainesville, FL - December 2025
- Aubrey CJon 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! - Gainesville, FL - July 2025
