140. From Burnout to Breakthrough: Tina’s Dog Training Journey

Welcome to Standing Stone Kennels! In this episode, Kat sits down with Tina Metcalf of 7T Outfitters—hunter, breeder, coffee shop owner, and proud GSP handler. Tina shares her five-year journey with Standing Stone, from getting her first pups to running hunt tests with her standout dog, Jade. They dive deep into the realities of balancing business, life, and dog training, how to stay on track when life throws curveballs, and why doing what your dog needs (not what’s easiest) is key to long-term success. Whether you’re a first-time puppy owner or prepping for NAVHDA or AKC hunt tests, this episode is packed with relatable stories, actionable tips, and heartfelt encouragement.Send 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.
