Welcome to Standing Stone Kennels! How do you balance a full-time job with training bird dogs at a championship level? In this episode of the Standing Stone Podcast, we sit down with Robert Ellison, a passionate and accomplished non-professional trainer, to discuss his journey from owning his first German shorthaired pointer to running dogs in the NAVHDA Invitational. Robert shares how he fits advanced dog training into a demanding corporate schedule, the value of intentional practice, the importance of planning, and why you should enjoy the process—even on the tough days. Whether you're aiming for a prize one or just trying to train your first hunting dog, this episode is full of wisdom and real-world insight.Send Us Mail5919 W Pleasant Valley RdPretty Prairie, KS 67570LinksStep-By-Step Dog Training Course: https://www.standingstonesupply.com/coursesJoin our Patreon Community - https://bit.ly/SSK-PatreonOur Store - https://bit.ly/SSK-StoreSocial MediaFacebook: www.facebook.com/StandingStoneKennelsInstagram: www.instagram.com/standingstonekennels/Website: www.standingstonekennels.comEthan and Kat Pippitt are the proud owners of Standing Stone Kennels.
