Today on the WSC Podcast we have special guest Alex Brittingham on to talk all things dog training, duck hunting and how she got involved in both.
Alex Brittingham grew up in East Texas where her passion for hunting began at an early age. While studying Marketing at Texas Tech, she got her first duck dog, “Nitro”, who opened her eyes to the world of retriever training and hunt tests. She has since made retriever training her full time profession. When she isn’t training dogs, you can most likely find her in a duck blind with her Jack Russell, “Gator”.
