Andreas and Mark were incredible instructors. Their attention to safety and fundamentals made the course very easy and comfortable to follow, all while challenging myself. I will be returning for more!

It includes the essentials while also being compact enough to fit into any backpack and not take much space. It's the perfect complement to the Trauma response course. I don't have any experience but the items seem like they're of the highest quality. It's expensive but worth the price.

This thing is perfect for all of your EDC needs. Plenty of room and very versatile. Blends in well and does not give out that tactical vibe. Element of surprise will be on your side with this one. Love the blue color I bought as well!

I absolutely loved this course! I have and will continue to recommend it to any woman. As someone who was former special forces trained military police, I was impressed with the caliber of both instructors and training material. I really appreciated how attentive, intentional, and communicative the staff was. You could tell that they were all-in and excited to be there which really shaped the learning atmosphere in an awesome way. I felt that the ratio of class-gym-firing time was pretty right o...

Very happy with these shorts. They fit perfectly, and very comfortable with the many activities I use them for. I highly recommend these shorts. Also, I am extremely happy and proud to support Sheepdog Response. I believe in everything you all do. Thank you.

This was an amazing class. The instruction was great for every level of experience. I would like to see a two day course with more run and gun and low light shooting. Keep them coming. To CDA Idaho

6 stars. Best training I’ve ever been a part of. Phenomenal hybridization of classroom and hands on experience. Instructors were amazing. Smart, funny, and gave you the meat and potatoes, while preparing you for any situation. Will definitely be going back for more classes. Thank y’all so much!!

I bought this knife without knowing how badass it would be! I have hundreds of knives and lots of “tactical” blades, but none like this fu*king thing. I bought some pull the dots atraps for it and carry it in front of my belt buckle and it is ready to deploy lighting fast. The sheath has great retention and is super slim so it hides and is very comfortable to carry. Amazing grip and it’s stabby as hell! Absolutely a knock out of the park! Congrats! The folder is also amazing and gets carried da...

Pro II at SDR headquarters was excellent! The quality of instruction on the mat and at the range is superb, the training is challenging and fun (for all levels), and being in the midst of a diverse community of like-minded participants was very empowering and reassuring.

Austin, TX (Burnet) - Protector 2 (September 15th-17th, 2023)

Carson H.

Excellent course. Not less than 24 hours after finishing the trauma course there is a motorcycle accident in front of me on the highway I was able to put those 2 days of training to use immediately. Thankfully the man that wrecked had no serious outward injuries but I was able to assess the situation with confidence, put people to work and do my best to command the situation until EMS arrived. From no training to only 2 days of training I was way more prepared to handle that situation. I would l...

Coeur d’Alene, ID (Hayden) - Trauma Response (October 4th-5th, 2023)

Brett P.

This is a top-notch course with some of the greatest instructors ever. Tim, Travis, and Ryan, among a number of other helpers, were just awesome. The amount of information they presented was done to incrementally work you up to a mental stress shooting test. Through it all, the instructors were very personable and they made you feel like you were at the range with a bunch friends. Safety was their number one priority and we all did safety drills and injury drills before a shot was fired. No...

Salt Lake City, UT - Carbine Level 1 (May 28th, 2021)

George B.

Bought this, originally, to be able to place tools on it while I am working on my truck and/or Jeep. But then I found that if I attached a thin metal plate to the underside of a cabinet in a camping trailer, I could use this pad to hold a knife, a flashlight and a "constant travel companion" when I go out in the backcountry, when it was time to catch some sleep. Since then, my wife and I keep coming up with more ways to use it since it is so portable. Definitely recommend the product!! Buy m...

Great training. Matt Smith, Justin Jones and the rest of the instructors did an exceptional job. Instruction was very well prepped, delivered in systemic manner yet individual attention/instruction provided as needed. Everyone was challenged and pushed. No left not knowing their individual limits. Highly recommend training who is looking to improve themselves.

High quality belt that fits and looks great. Only had it for a week or 2 so I don't know how it's gonna hold up but seems like it will last

I am so excited for the training event coming up. I’ve watched a lot of the YouTube videos from these guys and they are high quality, informative and very professional. The instructor is a down-to-earth guy, but he knows his stuff and how to teach beginners and intermediate skills alike with clarity. They provide a list of items needed and a basic itinerary upfront to help you get prepared for the event and get the most out of the training.

Post Falls, ID - Carbine 1 (August 31st, 2021)

Benjamin L.

One of the best things I've done for training, knowledge and fun. Would and have recommended it to several people. I look forward to the life changing experience and eye opening knowledge I attained during the course. Looking forward to Protector 2 and the Tactical Medical course in the future.

Fits great, solid material. The zippers are rugged but open quick for easy access. I am able to fit in all the essentials I need for the day to day grind! Thanks for an awesome product

Perfect for my Glock 43x. Very well made and still plenty of room in the front pocket for my wallet, keys and Tourniquet. You won’t be disappointed.

I am a 80’s baby and grew up with fanny packs. Never in my life did I think I would own one again due to not carrying a Sony Walkman any longer!!! But here I am rocking a sheepdog waist bag concealing my “GUM” and other prized possessions. All joking aside the bag does Everything it was designed to do and more importantly I can wear gym shorts and have everything I need at the ready. I guess cargo shorts are going to hang out in the dresser this summer!!!

The instructors were great. I am not law enforcement and am pretty much a newbie. And they made me feel a lot more comfortable about handling my rifle. They were kind and funny, but knowledgeable. I was a bit nervous and had thoughts of not going but it was such an enjoyable course that I got a lot out of.

Cleveland, OH (Middlefield) - Tactical Rifle (July 28th, 2023)

Vincent C.

Protector 1 was absolutely amazing. I learned a great deal about situational awareness and just how unaware most of us truly are. The first day we spent doing mat work and shooting I remember leaving the range... I was hot, tired, sore, dirty, thirsty, covered in sweat and dust, but I remember thinking to myself “...This is fucking awesome”. All together a great experience, with fantastic instructors, that I’m tremendously grateful I participated in. It built my confidence as well as showe...

First couple weeks. Love it so far. First waist pack used for concealed carry. Bought after an LEO fried recommended. Absolutely no issues so far, and comfortable with swim shorts and a t-shirt. -DSD

Brandon M.

Just a great experience, I’m so glad I chose Sheepdog. Instructors were awesome. Personable to make people feel welcome, but not there to screw around. They mean business. Not exactly an easy 2 days, but critical in this day and age. Information is straight forward and pressure tested, no bull-shido. Combatives will push you a bit if you’re new to training. Tough it out, it’s worth it. Shooting builds skill and puts a bit of pressure towards the end to really make you aware of your actions. Fina...

Andrew K.

So, I ran a Mystery Ranch hip pack for a bit that was adequate, but with a Glock 26 inside it was bulky. Access to the gun was less than ideal and required some customization to be manageable. This pack has taken it to the next level. I love the adjustable holster, which is big enough to accomodate the 19. It sits tight to the and snug to the body. There is plenty of room left over for meds, wallet, cell, etc. I also like the velcro flap that helps to conceal the pistol even when you open the ...

This was one of the best trainings I've been to! I took this course to become more comfortable as a concealed carry holder wanting to carry everyday. I have studied martial arts for many years (some legit, some bullshit) and this training is LEGIT. The instructors are great at breaking down the techniques and concepts so that they are easy and quick to grasp. I absolutely loved the firing under pressure drill we did, it was very eye opening to see how different things are with just a little ...

Salt Lake City, UT (Orem/Fairfield) - Protector 1 (July 21st-23rd, 2023)

Michele B.

Bought these after the ones I ordered from Amazon were too cumbersome to manage while trying to reload under pressure. Love that they make the magazine quick and easy to grab. The Malice clips included secured the holders to my belt very quickly and tightly. 10/10 would recommend!

These mag holders are perfect for my 10 round mags. (Yes, I live in California so that is the limit) The mags stay in the sturdy holders and are easy to remove quickly with no sticking. Plus they look really cool.

Absolutely love the tourniquet. Very easy to apply and use. Very durable. I bought 2 of them so I could have one in my EMT bag and one in my hunting bag.

Have not needed to use these yet, and hope I never have to. But they are a great addition to my multiple ifaks and will make first aid much easier.

I bought all 3 different sizes, I try out 9MM one so far. I find it a very useful tool. I can see the other sizes will sting great too.

I have yet to attend this new class as it's in November BUT having already attended the last carbine class in Austin it was Amazing Tim and company really know their stuff . I thought I was a pretty skilled shooter until I went out there . Tip of the day z leave the ego and what you thought you knew at the door of the range . You'll come home with MUCH better and more knowledge . Look forward to the new cqb class

It was the best class I have ever taken. All the instructors were professional and fun to work with. Their range of experience in like no other you will find anywhere. I can not thank them enough for the great time I had. Will definitely be doing more classes with them I the future.

Laurens, South Carolina (Sawmill) - Sheepdog Level 1 (October 9-11th, 2020)

Chris B.

It was out of stock when I initially wanted to get it but they said they'd let me know as soon as it was available. The day I got the email that it was available, I purchased it. Came about a week later and I am very please. I love the softness of the material and the faded look of the lettering. Had several people ask me to stop so they could read the back. Tim's words are so appropriate in these crazy times!

Hard to Kill - Blue

Michael F.

Very informative class, I hoped for more tactical information pertaining to active shooter since I work in a school and public setting, but overall very informative ecspecially the section on after care. If you have other training relating to school or active shooter I am definitely interested since I am considered a first responder.

undefined review of Protector Rifle Sling - Tim Kennedy Signature Collection image 1 out of 1

Christopher B.

Super lightweight sling and seems quality and durable. Haven’t got it out on the field yet though. Quick adjustment is SUPER smooth! The thin black strap section doesn’t sit tight unless you loop it back through the keeper. That’s my only complaint. Otherwise it’s a super solid sling!

Protector Rifle Sling - Tim Kennedy Signature Collection

Matthias K.

Great quality, super lite weight and well made. If I could give it 4.9 stars I would. The sling length adjuster is a little loose but other than that it’s a great sling at a great price. Maybe if the strap was thicker or that plastic adjustment piece was tighter it wouldn’t loosen up on its own. Highly recommend.
