Our Other Mascot Moose

Besides the Main Mascot Tripp, there’s one more dog you should know. This is Moose the Lab/Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix. Moose belongs to Afton, DogWatch of the Twin Cities’ marketing, sales and training specialist. Moose is a big guy, weighing in at over 100 pounds. And he’s full of energy.
His DogWatch fence stops him from running into the street to greet neighbors walking by with strollers, not to mention all the other dogs in the neighborhood. Instead, he does the next best thing – he sits in the driveway just watching.
Moose loves cuddling on the couch, chasing balls and eating socks. He’s a very strong swimmer and an even better eater. Moose is a big part of the family and loves going everywhere with his owners and his baby brother. While at the cabin, the BigLeash keeps him from straying too far.
Moosey hates fireworks and thunder, so July can be a rough month for him.
Besides Moosey, his nicknames include Moosh (thanks to the 1-year-old neighbor girl), Mimi-Siku (from “Jungle 2 Jungle”), Moomey and Meep Peep. If you meet him, be ready for a big kiss and some accidental tail collisions.

Our Mascot Tripp

DogWatch of the Twin Cities’ mascot is an energetic French Brittany Spaniel named Tripp. He was born in 2015, and he’s been sprinting ever since. Tripp belongs to Guy Treanor, the owner/operator of DogWatch of the Twin Cities, and the two of them do everything together. Their favorite activities are hunting grouse and pheasants, flying small planes and fishing.

Tripp also gets to accompany Guy to install and repair hidden fences around the metro. He can also act as the perfect distraction while training dogs to their new boundaries. Trippy loves to meet other DogWatch dogs and run full speed around customers’ yards.

One place Tripp doesn’t run, though, is out of his own yard, even when the squirrels and deer try to tempt him. He is well-versed on his hidden fence, as well as other DogWatch products. Guy uses the BigLeash Remote Trainer while hunting to silently communicate with Tripp in the field. And when the delivery truck comes, the BarkCollar comes in handy.

If you ever get to meet Tripp, be ready for energy! In a good way….usually.Guy & Tripp Hunting
