Shed dog training?

I feel like announcing that my lab brought me a broken elk antler last weekend in the snow. If she's grabbing 1 shed for every 10 I don't see, she's coming with me. :chuckle:

My wife nearly ruined mine by not wanting to get her hands slimy and using a chuck it. she learned it was ok to drop it and even drop it short. Needless to say we have worked on it to fix and the wife just washes her hands now. :chuckle::tung:

SOOOOOOOOO hard to get some people to accept slime fingers in order to keep a dog sharp!

Excellent 👍 still waiting for our lab to bring us just 1!
the mule:
i have a good one, she drags them out of the brush and brings them to me, i also have a male that picks them up and drops them so you have to keep an eye on him ive only been shed hunting for 3 years, how I got her to retrive them was when i found one i would wait until she found it then tell her to fetch it up, when she brought it to me i would give her a treat like bacon or salami, now she lives for shed hunting, hopefully the Male will follow her lead, the reason I got him was some of the bigger elk sheds were difficult for her to get out so I got a bigger Male hoping that would solve the problem, now im terrified that I might lose her in the woods or a Cougar might get one of them. i found allot of Cougar kills in Hancock this year.
