Aleah Marcoe of Backwater Hunting Dogs in Southeast Nebraska trains and personally hunts and guides with pointing breeds, flushing breeds, and even a Chiweenie. She believes each dog is different and trains as such. Aleah focuses on bonding with each individual dog to get the best out of them. She shares some hunt test strategy, tips for avoiding trainer burnout, and why she prefers to complete Master Hunter titles on dogs before 2 years old. Oh, And she loves GWP’s, Cockers and Bracco’s, so you know she’s just gotta be a pretty cool gal!
