Pro trainer on who's in charge & when, creating the right relationship with your dog

Upland Nation

According to Garden & Gun magazine, he's one of the top five dog trainers in the South. His track record as a field trialer and hunter, proves it. Todd Agnew of Craney Hill Kennels takes us to spaniel school in this episode. Pointer fans take note: his views on dogs cross the divide, so get ready to learn as well.

From teaching range for flushing dogs, to what motivates a hunting dog, Todd's point of view is a little different than many other trainers. He's big on creating the right relationship between a dog and its handler ... and how dynamic that relationship can be. He'll outline some new ways to look at everything from retrieving to when the dog takes charge in the field. And what the heck is "spaniel action?"

"Fix it" keeps your dog dry, and listeners chime in on empty shotgun hulls left on the ground.
