Built For The Hunt:Field Tested For Serious Upland Hunters

Hunting in South Dakota with Labs


 Why You Need Todd Agnew of Craney Hill Kennel



Most gun dog owners hit a wall.


They’ve tried the YouTube videos… the backyard drills…

even advice from a buddy who “trained his last dog.”

But the results? Inconsistent at best. Frustrating at worst.


That’s where Todd Agnew comes in.


With over two decades of hands-on experience, Todd doesn’t guess—

he knows what your dog needs.


Whether you’re preparing for the hunting season or field trials, he brings:


 A proven system


 Real-world results


 One-on-one coaching that elevates both dog and handler


You’re not just investing in training—

You’re getting a field ready dog, polished retrieves, and a gun dog

that listens the first time.



Because when the birds are falling, you need a dog that’s ready,

and Todd Agnew knows how to get you there.

Todd Agnew brings over two decades of experience working with gun dogs, with a dedicated focus on English Springer Spaniels and English Cocker Spaniels. If upland hunting is your goal, Todd has successfully developed a large number of gun dogs for hunters pursuing grouse in the woodlands, pheasant on the prairie, and chukar and quail in the canyons. Many of these gun dogs were trained to serve as reliable non-slip retrievers. With a background as a professional upland hunting guide specializing in wild pheasant hunts, Todd offers a depth of knowledge and real-world experience that ensures every dog is prepared for the field whether they are Labs, Boykins, Springers or Cockers.
