I was able to stop in slightly after hours and pick up some much needed supplies for my dog while I was on an out of state hunt. I'm from Indiana. If your new to training hunting dogs or just want some tips from a different perspective check them out on YouTube. They have a wealth of knowledge and videos on almost any subject for training. Thanks Ethan for meeting me, I appreciate it.

By far one of the best companies, very straight forward training videos which are posted free to watch on YouTube. Understanding that most trainers don’t do this I was very inclined to support a family owned business, that being said I placed my order immediate. 20 minutes later the package had already shipped. Thank you for all the helpful FREE training videos, along with high quality products

Great products and great training videos on YouTube! I purchased their easy lead for my German shorthaired pointer and now she heals without a leash at all. The videos are great rather you are training your dog for upland hunting or just to be a well mannered house dog.

I own two standing stone dogs. My oldest is 7 and youngest is 5. They are the best family/hunting dogs I could ask for. Ethan and Kat breed an excellent bird dog. They do a great deal of content to help you train your dog. I absolutely love my two boys from standing stone. They are big, strong, and hammer through heavy stuff to get birds.

Great videos on YouTube, products I have ordered from them online are great, and most of all great customer support! I recently ordered 2 winged bumpers from them with standard shipping thinking I ordered them 2 day fedex. When it hit me they haven’t arrived I thought I just forgot to order them, so I ordered another set. A nice gentleman Lane called me this morning to check if the double order was a mistake and worked through quickly and easily getting it lined out.

I am extremely appreciative of the customer service I have received thus far. I did not purchase a dog from Ethan and Kate, but they were extremely courteous to me. I also want to give a shot out to the folks in customer service awesome to deal with.. ok, their training principals are on point. Mr. Pink gun told me if you stay consistent. You will see your dog improve. He didn't lie. Must buys in my opinion, there leash and collar system, platform, karanda bed and thire training course yes all there contant is posted but it's the least I know I could do for there knowledge and experience they give. 6 months old pup didn't break thank you

As a new GSP owner to Nash - this place is a wealth of knowledge and help for training and ownership. Highly recommended if you own a GSP!!

We purchased the easy leads for our vizsla and gsp. They made a world of difference for us for walking. The easy lead is versatile starting off with teaching your dog to heal and then once that is taught you can use it as a slip lead and then just clipping it to the collar. So thank you for giving me the confidence to walk 2 dogs at the same time. Cannot recommend this product enough!!!

Watched all of their videos in preparation for purchasing our first GSP puppy all the way out in Arizona. Lots of great information and clearly these two have brought their passion to this kennel. Keep up the good work.

I am fairly new to the upland hunting and bird dog world with not one but two GSP puppies. In my seach for help I found Standing Stone Kennels. I literally watched videos for hours!! I became a patron and send videos of my training sessions. Ethan and Kat are fabulous! They are honest in their critique and encouraging in their teaching. They know what they are doing and it shows in their content. They do their best to answer honestly and as straight forward as possible. Best of all they LOVE THEIR DOGS AND THEIR JOBS! You can tell! My ultimate goal is to participate in one or more training seminars that they put on.

I've been using Standing Stone Kennels patreon and YouTube videos to train my GSP since she was 8 weeks old. She's now almost 8 months old, very obedient and hunting like a champ. I've never owned a GSP before and I couldn't have done it without their help. I'm going to a hunting prep seminar in September and can't wait.

Standing Stone is an excellent representative of gun dog training. Kat gave a seminar to about ten youth that were visiting our Pheasant’s Forever youth weekend. Thank you, Standing Stone, for the great demonstrations and information.

I have been following on YouTube for years and referring puppy buyers to their video series we have several different colors of easy leads and on the most recent purchase we got a lead and collar combo, two days before I placed my order I placed an order on another gundog site and I was very surprised to get the standing stone shipment first we love the color and sound build of the collar the did cost a little more but are of higher quality in my opinion.

Everyone has their preference on style (harshness to softness) of dog training. However, I wish standing stone kennel was all beginners go to. Furthermore their videos are so well crafted to not leave steps out that most everyone could benefit from refreshing their knowledge on upland dog training.

My wife Diane & I drove from Phoenix, AZ to met Kennel owner Kat today. We both enjoyed talking with her very much.Our 10 month old GSP MacKenzie was entered into a gun/bird dog training program with Standing Stone Kennels today!

Love what Ethan and Kat and everyone at SSK have done for the GSP breed and for all breeds. They not only breed top of the line shorthairs, but they also give amazing training advice for all categories.

Excellent training and breeding facility. I have a 6 month GSP and have followed their videos for training since we brought her home. Excellent and effective training method. My pup is currently at their in-house training facility. They send almost daily pictures and email a report card weekly. I was way impressed with their facility and their trainers when I dropped her off.

I started watching Standing Stone Kennels videos on YouTube long before I got my new Bracco Italiano puppy. However, after seeing this new approach to using Patreon for training directly with Ethan and Kat, I wanted to give it a shot. The week that I got my puppy, I had a call with Ethan. He was prompt, polite and super friendly. He guided me to some of his videos to get going on watching for homework. I worked with my new pup by watching Ethan train his puppy Clay. My Bracco puppy is responding awesome to Ethan's technique. After two weeks, I had another call with Ethan in which we discussed my progress and my pups progress. He gave me a lot of sound advice. I can't wait to keep working with Standing Stone Kennels to see how my pup advances in life. Excellent folks at Standing Stone Kennels and I could not recommend them enough to new puppy/bird dog owners.- Rob. S

Paid $500 for a training course, which includes youtube videos, which are free online. Really paid $500 for free videos. Some of the videos have good info which is why I’ll give 2 stars, but wouldn’t recommend.

Kat and Ethan are passionate GSP breeders and hunting trainers who are knowledgeable, honest, transparent, direct, and passionate about what they do. I highly recommend them for getting a pup or if you're seeking out training.

I would like to recommend Standing Stone Kennels. I recently got a new puppy and the YouTube videos by Standing Stone have been absolutely helpful in teaching my puppy to sit and now working on recall with the clicker and my pup is only 8 weeks! Also, Standing Stone is very attentive and helpful in answering all my questions regarding caring for a new puppy. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and are more than happy and willing to share the knowledge on how to care for the incredible German Short Hairs breed (and other breeds)!I am so grateful for Standing Stone. Thank you!!!!!

Excellent training videos but since I don't hunt my gsp the videos are limited to training a puppy. Purchases from their store was excellent and fast. Would order from them again.

I love Standing Stone Kennels! Genuinely great people. Top notch company. Can't get enough of their YouTube channel and the products they sell/recommend for dog training have very high quality. If you need anything related to dog training/breeding/dog hunting related, these are your people!

If you looking for a top notch Breeder and training facility Standing Stone Kennels is it! I did extensive research before purchasing my gsp from Ethan and Kat and have not been let down at all. They have been more than generous with their time and knowledge every step of the way. I live in Michigan and had never meet them prior to dropping my puppy off for training. I definitely would recommend them to anyone I know and will be the kennel I use for all my future dogs. Ethan and Kat went well beyond their responsibilities as Breeders for us and our dog.

Top notch breeders and people. Super responsive, kind, and professional. We purchased a dog from them in January and would recommend them to anyone.

Have ordered their products which might not be the cheapest, but they are well made and worth the money. Customer service is top notch! That kind of attention to detail is getting hard to find. Tails up customer!

I brought my GSP for two months of training. I couldn’t have made a better decision. My dog has flawless obedience and a new love for life after freedoms gained from training. It has been almost 2 years since his training and is still very sharp. Thank you!!

Kat and Ethan and staff have a great understanding of what it takes to have the best dog for you. Their beautiful dogs are sought-after by hunters all over the US. But their ability to take a mutt like mine and create the best pet he can be...and train me as well...priceless.

Just want to say I've benefitted so much in my first gun dog experience because of all that Kat and Ethan do for the sporting dog (and Pet dog) community. They clearly put their hearts into this for people they've never even met, and so you know they are in this for the dogs. They are flat out professional, understand the process, and get dogs to be their best selves. Really at the end of the day they get what it takes to just have an awesome relationship with your dog and show them the way. Appreciate all they do and will continue to.

Standing Stone kennels videos are the best I have seen on the internet. The videos cover every step of building not only a good hunting dog but a good house dog and good citizen dog. The videos are well laid out and represent a true training experience as much as possible on video. There techniques emphasize the positive aspects of training but do not exclude reality.
