Luttrell Kennels is the premiere gun dog training facility in South Dakota. Pro trainer John Luttrell has set up everything here with your dog’s training potential and well being in mind. Whether your dog is here for upland or waterfowl hunting or preparing for retriever hunt tests, building a solid foundation is a must. The proper introduction to guns and birds is the first step. Obedience, manners, collar conditioning, force fetching, and marking are next. With this technical training, we mesh the dog’s natural abilities to produce a finished hunting partner for the field.  Handler training is a big part of the process. Your skills as a handler have a direct correlation to the performance of your dog.

John has been a professional retreiver trainer since 1995.

We are located in Clark, SD, the heart of the Central Flyway and pheasant mecca.  This training environment ensures that your dog has seen all kinds of different fields, sloughs, shelter belts, and ponds and will be ready for your favorite hunting spot.

If you are looking for a started or finished dog we can help you there also. We are always bringing up a couple young prospects that will be ready to jump into the hunt.

Feel free to contact us for any of your needs.
