    (EP.50) Ben Proctor & BPRO Kennels

    In this episode, I sit down with Ben Proctor, owner of BPRO Kennels, to talk dogs, training, and what actually makes a kennel hold up in the real world. If you care about keeping your dog safe—and want a crate that’s as solid as it looks—you’ll want to hear this. Ben brings real experience, strong opinions, and a level of detail most people overlook. This is one worth listening to. Have a great weekend!   www.bprokennels.com Introduce your dogs to guns and start them out right or help fix your gunshy dog using, "THE GUNSHY FIX" at www.gunshyfix.com Check out Kuranda dog beds and click on name below to buy one of the best dog cots on the market.  Also, if your looking for some paw balm, shampoo, dog supplements, treats or other awesome healthy products click on the All American Canine link below for their awesome products. This helps us out a little financially to support the show and we really appreciate it. I like the whitening shampoo if you have a white dog in any shape or form. It really makes the white pop and does an awesome job. The paw and nose balm is good stuff for sore feet and pads after you hunt all day. Really everything they make has good quality ingredients in it.  Links to products: Kuranda Dog Beds Crispi Boots Gunshy Fix If you want any dog training topics or questions discussed shoot us an email at thebirddogpodcast@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram.
