About Us
Scott Beck-Assistant Trainer
Scott Beck started training Labrador Retrievers with his first 2 dogs: Max and Storm. He would travel around and learn from trainers about the importance of the daily effort it takes to have an accomplished trial dog. Scott ended up running Storm in AKC Field Trials and Storm earned a Qualified All Age title with an Amateur Handler. This is a huge accomplishment in the Field Trial game. Afterwards, Scott dove into the world of pointers.
Scott got his first German Shorthair Pointer with his brother in 2019. With the long background of training retrievers, Scott was brand new to the pointer game. Scott would join clubs and take advice from different trainers then apply the methods to his dog and see which one worked the best. Scott started to train with Jake at the end of 2020 and all of 2021. Now, Scott is an outstanding handler whether he is reading a dog on whether it is going to break or whether he has to stop training because a dog may be getting overwhelmed. We are Happy to have Scott on our team.
Scott will help us board dogs at his house South of Mukwonago with his wife Bobbi.
Lauryn Anders-Kennel Assistant
Lauryn plays one of the biggest roles at the kennel. It is very important to have a clean environment for all dogs that are in our care to stay in. Lauryn treats every dog like she owns them and makes sure to keep the staff updated if there is one not acting the same. All owners should be comfortable when the WSK crew heads out of town for a hunt test knowing that Lauryn will provide and exercise the dog multiple times a day.
“Weather you need boarding, basic obedience, force fetch, or full blown gun dog training Whistling Straight Kennels is the place to go. Jake Felkner took my 8 month old British lab and turned him into a UKC Started gun Dog. Walked me through the process of how to work with and become one with your dog. Highly recommend Jake. He goes above and beyond what most trainers would do for you and your dog. Thanks Jake, I look forward to working with you in the future!”
