FirstBarkKris was a God send for my 1and 3 month old German Shepherd and Malinios mix. My husband said she was to much dog for us. But after one session with Kris teaching us how to handle Bella she was a better behaved dog and a happier girl! Now I can walk with her off leash and she listens to my commands. Thank you Kris for giving me the tools to have the best dog!

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.

Kris was fantastic with both of our dogs and super patient with us! His training was clear and simple, not over-complicated yet really thorough and pinpointed to our dogs' needs. We have 2 large dogs and the difference was night and day since Kris came on the scene! Made a huge impact for us, highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Kris over at Legion K9. We were recommended his training through our doggie daycare and within the first few minutes, we learned so much about our dogs and the best ways to utilize their intelligence. Our pup, Packer was having issues at Daycare with other dogs. For our specific needs, Kris was creative and extremely flexible to get the results that we needed with our pup. We went to a few dog parks, used his own dogs at our home and did multiple locations and environment changes for our training. Kris was able to explain things to us in a way that made perfect sense and never made us feel poorly for our lack of knowledge in certain areas of training. Within just a matter of weeks, our pups are more responsive to us and our significantly more disciplined. I would use Kris for any training needs of your dog(s). Thank you Kris for taking such good care of us! - The Flynn Fam
Kris was great training my 6-month-old boxer (and me). In four short weeks he changed our lives! He really listened to what I wanted to focus on unlike other trainers that I have had in the past that only followed their own agenda. I highly recommend Kris for your dog training needs.
Kris was absolutely amazing. We wanted a trainer to help our daughter train her puppy and he was the first to say yes to training a child. Our pup was 100 times better after one visit and 1000 times better at the end of the 4 weeks. Thank you for your willingness to help us and our dog.
