Meet our Heroes!
Lem E.
My name is Lemuel Esquivel, I’m 27 years old and I am a lead trainer for Dog Magnet Training. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I’ve built my training philosophy on discipline, structure, and trust — values that I now bring into every dog I work with.
I currently share my life with three amazing dogs: Jarvis, a 2½-year-old American Staffordshire mix; Seven, my 2-year-old German Shepherd and certified Bomb Detection Dog; and Kal, my young Catahoula Leopard Dog who is following in Seven’s pawsteps to become a detection dog as well.
My expertise lies in aggression and reactivity cases, as well as training high-drive working line breeds that need both structure and purpose. I believe every dog can become a well-balanced companion when given proper guidance, clear communication, and patience.
When I’m not training, I enjoy working out at the gym, taking my dogs on walks and parks, and doing scent work. I’m also a big fan of video games, love spending time with my wife, and enjoy cooking and experimenting with new recipes.
At Dog Magnet Training, my mission is simple: to create stronger bonds between owners and their dogs through balanced, effective, and compassionate training.
Kinsey H.
Hey! I’m Kinsey — a veterinary nurse turned dog trainer with a passion for helping dogs and their humans understand each other better. I use kind, positive training methods to build confidence, trust, and great behavior.
With my vet nursing background, I know how closely health and behavior are connected, and I love making training fun, stress-free, and rewarding for every pup.
McKensie A.
Hey I'm McKensie
I am a Dog Trainer with 8 years of experience helping dogs learn, heal, and thrive. I focus on obedience, reactive behavior, and the therapeutic training needed to bring out each dog’s best self. Training with patience, purpose, and heart.
TeJon W.
Hey Salt Lake Valley, I’m TeJon — the Owner and Head Trainer here at Dog Magnet Training. My passion is helping dogs and their people build trust, confidence, and balance together. With a background in hospitality, nonprofits, and professional mechanics, I’ve learned how to connect with all kinds of personalities — both two- and four-legged — and bring patience, structure, and heart to every session.
When I’m not working with clients, you can usually find me officiating on the basketball court or baseball field, training in martial arts, or geeking out over anime and superhero culture. I’m also a proud family man who believes in living with integrity, energy, and purpose — values that guide everything I do, both in life and in training.
