how much braking to use

This is going to some like a newbie question, but. What is a good ratio or % of braking to use front to rear. I do a wide variety of riding to include some steep, treturious down hill, and i feel like i will endo if i use to much front brake. Today when i picked up my bike from its first service they said that the front wasn't being used enough and the rear was to much. The LBS even stated that the front is your power brake and should give you more control. So what is some good advice to get me to use more front brake without endoing or is the LBS full of it.

oh, yeh i have v-brakes if it matters
