Welcome to Standing Stone Kennels! In this episode of the Standing Stone Podcast, we break down everything you need to know about pre-season dog training—especially in the brutal heat of August. From roading dogs for pad conditioning, to avoiding blown pads, to prepping dogs for tests and hunting season, we share our proven 4-month training strategy. Learn why early mornings matter, how to safely condition your dog’s feet, and when it’s too hot to run. Plus, we talk gear like OutFox Masks, slat mills, and our complete online training programs.✅ Online Courses: https://www.standingstonekennels.com✅ Join Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/standingstonekennelsSend 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.
