Since moving to the Ocala area in 2000, John has trained hundreds
dogs for obedience, companionship, family guardians and estate
protection. Over the years his clients come in all shapes and sizes,
from the largest Mastiff to the smallest Yorkie, Dachshund and
Chihuahua. They range in age from eight week old puppies to ten year old
labs. He has extensive experience training and breeding German
Shepherds, Dobermans, Malinois and Dutch Shepherds.
John's goal is to train the perfect dog for your family and home.
This is not generic training. John does not do group classes. Each
program is customized to suit the family's needs and the dog's age and
temperament. He knows that one size does not fit all.
World Class Canine training programs are designed to give you control over
your canine companion, and to help him or her to adapt to your
lifestyle with proper manners and acceptable behaviors.
John competes in AKC Companion Dog trials. He is the current Vice
president of the Central Florida Service Dog Association, a United
Kennel Club licensed club.
Owing to his father's service as a K-9 Officer, John specializes in training for protection. Whether a client
wants a family guardian, or estate protection, World Class Canine South offers
training programs from basic to advanced skills.
