FirstBarkWe contacted Kris at Legion K9 because we were desperately in need of training help with Freya, our two year old German shepherd. She wasn’t obeying commands, was very reactive and basically out of control. Kris worked a miracle with her, she is such a well behaved doggy now after her training. We highly recommend Legion K9 for any of your training needs.

About Legion K9 LLC
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.

How lucky are we to have our very own "Dog whisperer" here! I cant even say enough positive things about Chris our dog whisperer. I have a less than 1 year old very big great bernese. In just a few short sessions I was taught how to have the most amazing dog we all dream of. We learned leash, heal, come, sit, place, recall and best yet...how to pull a cart. He did it so quickly, calmly, and professionally it never even felt like training. Oh wow is all I can say!

Almost 2 years ago, we got an English Springer Spaniel puppy after losing our beloved springer at 14 and half years old. Needless to say, it had been a long time since we had to train a puppy and this one was rambunctious to say the least. After four frustrating weeks, we got in touch with Kris at Legion K9 Training Academy and he was happy to come access our new puppy situation. Long story short, he not only helped with training our new puppy but we received the education that we needed on how to train her as well. Fast forward 1 year later and our cute little puppy grew and new challenges emerged. We began to have struggles while taking her out for walks and in public places. Behaviors such as pulling, barking at other dogs and people became difficult, and walks became a chore. Again, we contacted Kris at Legion K9 and resumed training and it was amazing to see such a quick transformation in her behavior. It is now enjoyable to take her to parks, neighborhood walks and any other place that dogs are welcome. If you are experiencing difficulties with your new puppy or adult dog, look no further! Kris at Legion K9 Training Academy is one of the best, and I highly recommend him for your dog and you!
Kris is lights out, this guy has great people skills and fixed issues with our 3 dogs two other trainers told us couldn’t be done. THIS IS YOUR GUY!

I adopted a very reactive 2 yr. old Great Dane. She would lunge and bark at passing cars, people and other dogs. I have had many dogs and attended lots of training classes and was clueless how to deal with her behavior. Kris is an excellent teacher, dog behaviourist, trainer and is a true dog whisperer. He would remind me to praise her when she behaved properly. Working with Kris gave me the techniques, knowledge and the confidence to work with her. My neighbors comment on what a different dog she is now. I can now take her into stores that allow dogs without fear of a blow up. Kris is easy to work with and non-judgemental. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with Kris and my girl GG!
