Get in Touch With Spaniel Training by Todd Agnew
We’re here to help you build a steady, confident, reliable gun dog —
and to guide you every step of the way.
We’re glad you’re here — and we want to be upfront about who we’re best suited to help.
At Craney Hill Kennel-SpanielTraining.com, we work with owners and handlers who have high expectations for their dog and are committed to doing things the right way. Whether your goal is a polished hunting companion, a steady and mannerly home dog, or a dog being developed toward field trials, our program is built around proper foundation, correct development, and long-term performance — not quick fixes.
We specialize in developing purpose-bred spaniels
through a structured process that includes:
foundational obedience and standards
bird work and control in the field
steady progress through handling and pressure correctly applied
field trial preparation and polishing for competition goals
Because our program is intensive, individualized, and time-demanding, our pricing reflects the level of training and development we provide. We’re a strong fit for clients who are ready to invest in professional-level work — and who value results that hold up in real hunting situations and competitive environments.
If that sounds like you, reach out through the form below. We’ll follow up with the best next step. For dog training or field trial training you will receive an email with our training question form, fill out and return to christina.craneyhill@gmail.com

Gun Dog Training
We train real gun dogs for real hunting — dogs that hunt with you, handle with purpose, and stay steady when it counts. Our program is built around foundation, control around birds, clean retrieves, and practical handling in cover. Whether you’re preparing for upland days, water work, or a well-rounded season, we develop dogs to be reliable partners — not “weekend projects.” Because gun dog development requires birds, reps, and professional structure, our training is best suited for owners who want results and are prepared to invest in the process.
Spaniel Field Trials
At Craney Hill Kennel, field trials aren’t a side offering—they’re part of the standard that shapes everything we do. Our program is designed for serious owners who value correct development, consistent handling, and the kind of repetition it takes to build a dog that can compete at a high level.
We train and campaign English Springer Spaniels and English Cocker Spaniels with a clear focus: produce talented, honest dogs with the manners, drive, and control required to perform when it counts.
We provide professional spaniel training in:
• Georgia — Year-round training and puppy development
• Northern Michigan — Seasonal training programs
If you need help with logistics, travel planning, or setting up a meet time, just let us know.
We personally review every message and respond as quickly as possible.
