Shed Antler Training?
« on: October 18, 2010, 10:14:24 PM »
My Lab retriever is five years old and knows how to find things by scent, but I can't get him to actively look for sheds...

If I give him the command and a few steps in the right direction he can do it, but that means I have to see it first, taking the point of having a shed dog away (Not that I don't still love him).

So any pointers on getting my dog to proactively use his nose?

I read an article somewhere not too long about about shed-training dogs.  I think it was in Full Cry.  I'll have to look back through my old issues and see if I can find it for you.  O0  It was pretty good.

In all seriousness, the Marlin is a great rifle, too. I own a Model 60, one of the best rifles ever made.

Brownings are nice, but in terms of quality AND accuarcy AND ruggedness, it's hard to beat the Marlin.
