In this fascinating conversation with Brent Cowley, Gunner's Event Marketing Specialist, we explore the science and passion behind what many consider the world's safest dog kennels. Brent takes us inside the company's patented double-walled rotomolded design – the only one of its kind – and describes testing that included throwing kennels off cliffs, shooting them with shotguns, and crushing tests where the kennel actually broke a 7,000-pound industrial vice.

The real power of this conversation comes through the stories. Brent shares emotional testimonials from customers whose dogs walked away unharmed from horrific accidents, including rollover crashes where the kennel prevented the truck bed from collapsing into the cab. Beyond crash protection, we explore how these kennels manage temperature extremes, keeping dogs comfortable in both scorching heat and sub-freezing conditions.

There's something special about a company whose mission centers entirely on safety. As Brent explains, "We exist for dogs to be safe." This philosophy extends beyond kennels to everything Gunner creates, from their popular food crates to their newest offerings like bowls and bumpers. Each product must earn the title of "man's best whatever-it-is" before reaching customers.

Whether you're transporting a hunting companion, competition dog, or beloved family pet, this episode offers invaluable insights into keeping them safe on the road. Plus, Brent shares his personal hunting experiences and his journey training his own golden retriever, making this a must-listen for anyone who loves dogs and the outdoors.
