  • Best podcast for hunters and dog owners!

    These podcast episodes have taught me so much about being not only a Gundog owner but simply a dog owner as well. Kenneth Witt somehow finds a way to bring on the most respected guests whether it’s the best dog trainers in the world, world champion owners, and even veterinarians from Texas A&M! I never miss an episode! Give it time and I can see this being the #1 podcast in the world

Austin Koile - ReKoile Outdoors: Revolutionizing Dog Vests

Bret Abner - The Story Behind Winged Retriever

Bret Abner - The Story Behind Winged Retriever
Q: What makes your collar stand apart from the average collar people see at big-box stores?
The collar is designed for durability with solid brass hardware and rivets, a thick neoprene/biothane-based strap, and a lifetime warranty to ensure performance without issue for the life of the dog.
Bret Abner - The Story Behind Winged Retriever
Q: All right, Brett, let's get started. Tell us who you are, where you're from and your company.

John and Nina Halsted - Brocklebank Labradors, Halsted Gundog Academy
Q: What is the most important thing about dog training that you learned from your father?
Their father stressed recognizing you're doing well when your dog naturally shows understanding, and that successful training requires discovering your own style while staying true to fundamental principles rather than copying others.
