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.

Absolutely the best trainer ever! His expertise, knowledge, suggestions and compassion for dogs puts him in that miracle worker category! He served our country now he is committed to serving the canine world! I needed the the training!! Once I bought the right collars & leases and learned what commands to use and not use, Nala did what I told her to do and changed our lives for ever! We experienced results the first visit. It’s up to me to keep doing what he taught me to maintain the control, freedom and safety of my beautiful shepherd!
I highly recommend and will refer Kris to everyone I know and meet!

I had the best experience with Kris! If you’re looking for a dog trainer, then look NO further because Kris is your guy. I have an 8 month old golden doodle that is the cutest most stubborn dog I’ve ever owned and I desperately needed help with her. She didn’t respect me, wouldn’t obey my commands and was such a hassle to take on walks. After just 1 training session I saw immediate improvement! Kris showed me various techniques to try with her and had me practice along side with him; definitely hands on learning. I practiced daily what he showed me and now I’m proud to say that my dog and I are both trained. I am so grateful for finding Kris and hiring him to assist me. He is very friendly, professional and knows what he is doing. He will not disappoint so call him up.

Kris is absolutely awesome. He is super knowledgeable and was able to teach and train us and our dogs within a very short amount of time. His methods are gentle and make sense and very easy to follow. Plus he is just the nicest guy!

Kris has been a Godsend and rescued both my American Bulldog Daisy and me from a sticky situation! Living within close quarters of other dogs at an RV park and being attacked by uncontrolled dogs allowed to be off leash, Daisy had decided that EVERY dog that came near us was planning an attack and gained the reputation of being aggressive. Having Kris come and personally evaluate our situation and design a training plan for our specific needs was the best idea ever! He was able to quickly diagnose our problems, both mine and Daisy’s, and he has effectively worked with us to calm both our fears and re-build our trust in each other. He has given me the tools, education, and strategies necessary for a woman of my size (5’4”) to handle a 90 lb. dog in an unexpected, less than ideal, and hopefully temporary living situation. His personalized training is worth every penny! I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants specialized training from a knowledgeable, caring, and conscientious professional. Thanks Kris!!

Kris did an amazing job helping us with our 1yo lab mix rescue - Max. Max had some behavioral issues due to his rough start in life. Kris gave us the tools we needed to help Max adjust to his new home. In just a few weeks we saw significant improvements, and had a new family member we could be proud of. Kris' method is a perfect balance of reward and correction. He spent time explaining the reasons for what he was doing, and made sure we were set up for success.
