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.

I had the pleasure of working with Kris from Legion K9 to help train my stubborn cattle dog with an aggression issue. I couldn't be happier with the results. I could tell Kris was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about dog training. He took the time to get to know my dog and understand his unique personality and behavior patterns. With patience and positive reinforcement, Kris was able to do in a few sessions what I had been trying for a very long time …my dog is 7! He tailored the training sessions and provided me with advice on how to continue the training at home. Kris is incredibly responsive and always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer. He truly has a gift for working with dogs and you can tell he loves what he does!!

Kris at Legion K9 turned our wild and hyper pup Baxter into a companion we can take anywhere! His methods make it fun for Baxter and he is clearly excited when he sees Kris and is eager to get to work! His methods are easy for me to support and carry out which has helped make Baxter’s training stick. I highly recommend Legion K9 - great results!
