About Snack Leader Dog Training
I established Snack Leader Dog Training in 2020 due to my passion for dogs and training.
Qualification/Experience
I have a degree in Canine Studies and have completed the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers assessment to become a qualified dog trainer. I completed a level 4 in teaching over 10 years ago and have accumulated hundreds of hours teaching both people and animals. I have recently spent several months assisting at a rescue centre in Cyprus.
I have worked with dogs in various capacities for over 10 years, it is my passion and love working with dogs.
About Me
I am married with 3 children and live in Ripon, North Yorkshire. Dogs have been a huge feature of my life, owning rescues, pedigrees and mongrels at some point, each dog has brought their own personality and little quirks which intrigued me. I currently live with 3 dogs, all of which are different ages and breeds, each with their own intricate behaviours, mostly good but some slightly more challenging. I have been in the military for over 20 years and during that time have developed a natural flair for teaching, combined with my passion for dogs lead to my decision to begin my venture into the vast world of dog training.
Ethics
My philosophy is Force and Fear Free training. I believe in using the dog's natural drives to shape their behaviours, offering choice to your dog and helping them to adapt in this ever-changing world.
I look to understand what the dog needs to be able to help behaviour modification and ensure patience and understanding through every journey.
Training or Behaviour
Do you need training or behaviour modification for your dog?
They both go hand in hand but depending on your dogs needs require a different approach. Training works on teaching your pup areas such as recall, sit, loose lead walking etc.... Behaviour work is looking to change an emotional response to a stimulus e.g. reactivity, resource guarding, aggression etc...
Behaviour/Training 121 or package.
At Snack Leader Dog Training we offer a variety of different training or behaviour solutions to suit your needs. Do you need to work on a specific area e.g. recall. A single 121 session or a workshop might be best suited. If you have a new dog or simply want to work on many areas, then a group class could be what you are looking for. Whatever the training or behaviour need, Snack Leader is here to help.
“I have a highly reactive Belgian Shepherd. Kris is by far the best dog trainer that I have come across. Crumble has improved immensely since we started working. His reactivity workshop was just superb. I can not recommend Snack Leader Dog training highly enough and Crumble loves him.”
Jon Dunn, Ripon
“Kris helped me run various classes and it was obvious from the start that he has a natural flair for dogs and the best way to train them. From helping motivate a stubborn bull breed to successfully teaching an over exuberant spaniel to demonstrate loose lead walking, Kris was able to get the best out of any dog in class.
His natural talent for training is only surpassed by his affection for the dogs he is working with.

Adam Baxter, Andover
“I Just want to say a massive thank you to Kris… I have had 4 1-2-1 sessions with my 1 year old chocolate lab Bella who is very energetic and excitable… we have learnt so much from Kris … I think it’s safe to say Bella has improved loads since our sessions began… Thank you Emma and Bella”
Emma Crossman, Ripon
