Hi, my name is Kris, and I am a professional dog trainer with a passion for unlocking the true desire each dog has for pleasing their owner. As an active duty soldier, I saw first hand how far a well trained dog will go to demonstrate their loyalty. Your dog wants that relationship with you too and with the right training goals and methods, you and your dog can know a disciplined and fulfilling bond.
My training philosophy is based on a balanced approach that combines positive reinforcement techniques with fair and humane corrections.
I offer a variety of training services, including basic obedience, behavior modification, advanced training, and off-leash control. I have experience training dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments.

My 2 dogs just finished their day training program. Their trainer Nicole was AMAZING, her patience and understanding with what they needed (very different things) made a huge difference. Not only were we able to have the 4th of July celebration at our home, but everybody was astonished with the difference in the girls and how they were calm and relaxed with everyone and everything going on. Their recall, sit, down, and place is on point, not to mention being able to walk them together with no reaction toward their surrounding. This was the best investment I've made. Words can not express my gratitude for help and tools Nicole gave me to become successful with my girls!

We recently adopted a 2-year-old Sprocker Spaniel with a very high prey drive, and we knew she would need solid obedience training to fit into our active outdoor lifestyle. After our initial consultation with Kris, we felt confident that Legion K9 would be a great fit.
Alex was our trainer, and she did an absolutely fantastic job working with both Starr and us. We especially appreciated the 4-week program, which included small group classes, public socialization, and e-collar training sessions twice per week. The structure and hands-on approach made a huge difference.
We are truly impressed with what Alex was able to accomplish in such a short time. Starr continues to improve each week and now has excellent recall thanks to the e-collar training.
Excellent dog training isn’t cheap, but it’s well worth the investment.
Thank you, Legion K9—and a special thank you to Alex for her dedication and expertise!

Truly, the most amazing experience!!!! I went to see Legion K9 when my Bulldog became very aggressive towards other dogs . through the private training we both learned so much It was an incredible learning experience We were offered very practical and effective training techniques
I am a much better dog owner and very assured that through the training and education offered at Legion K9 my dog and I will have a solid foundation to learn and grow together. Thank you Legion K-9. I would give you 10 stars if I could ❤️

Kris and staff were amazing. Patient with Duke and patient with me, in explaining equipment and consistency in using training techniques and words. Can’t say enough good things about them

Legion K9 team of amazing trainers helped us with our 8 year old Whippet mix, who was suffering with fear and resource aggression. She was scared of men and was missing out on so much love! Now she loves everyone and is getting all the loves. I can’t express how grateful we are to Nicole and the team at LegionK9! Now Ella can enjoy her days with more confidence. Thank you!!!!
