Tekka, or Tek, is a Belgian Malinois with a bit of extra fluff. Tekka was adopted from Salt Lake County Animal Services in 2019.

Mr. Mac
ACT J1 CGCA CGCU RATO TKI RN
The Mac man or the Snack man is a Blue Heeler/Border Collie Mix. Mac is a puppy mill dog with unknown genetics, but through training has turned into a pleasant man. Mac lives to play Barn Hunt, rally with his dog friends, sleep in the sunshine, hike the trails of Utah, and yell at his mom for more pets. If you ever find yourself with him staring up at you with his ears flat on his head you may have to ask yourself “Is this my mac moment?”.

Luna's Damaged Goods
PTN DM AS TKN
Luna, or Loonz, is a German Shepherd/American Pitbull Terrier Mix who was adopted from Los Angeles County Animal Shelter. You likely won't see Luna at any classes, but she was the dog who got me into training and taught me that every dog is an individual. Luna loves to swim, loves to fetch, and loves to chase. Luna does not love other dogs, but working through that was the best thing she and I have done together.
Luna’s accomplishments include:
2018 DockDogs Worlds Competitor
