Would it affect the pups reaction or training to being shed dogs if they have one as a chew toy that young

After training 2 dogs to find sheds, I personally would not do it. The only time they got to play with sheds were during training, making them a speacial "treat" for the dogs. They would get a dog treat everytime they brought the treat back, this way when they come across a naturally shed antler laying in the woods, they know that it is more than just a chew toy that was left behind, but that if they bring it back, they will get a piece of treat.
