Welcome to the Standing Stone Podcast!

In this video, we talk with Ashley Wilson about her experiences picking a dog trainer. We discuss how she went about this process the first time and how her priorities changed when she ultimately decided to send him to another trainer. She shared what she liked and didn't like about the first trainer she sent her dog, Rhed, to and a few red flags she recognized. We also discussed why she chose to pull Rhed from the first trainer she sent him to and the additional research and self education she went through to chose her next dog trainer. Follow along to also hear about the facility and training program at Standing Stone Kennels and what you can expect if you send your dog to us for training!
