All you need to know to get started shed hunting with your canine companion in this 6 week course! This course focuses on building a solid foundation in both retrieving and hunting through a very broken down and systematic training plan. This approach decreases the likely hood of undesirable behaviors like blowing by sheds and not picking them up or picking them up but then playing keep away or going off to chew them. In this course you will learn how to:

  • Build independence so that your dog isn't relying on you to point out the sheds to them

  • Sharpen your dogs searching abilities and build a strong desire to find sheds

  • Lay a solid foundation so that your dog brings you back the shed when they find it

  • Set up different training sessions to increase your success for competition and shed hunting in the wild
