Dokken Shed Hunting Antler Silhouettes are designed to help dogs new to shed hunting recognize the shape of antlers. These oversized silhouettes serve as a visual cue, teaching your dog to associate the shape with the presence of a shed to retrieve. Perfect for beginners, the larger size makes them easier for dogs to spot, providing a more effective and engaging training experience.
How to Use:
To get started, place the antler silhouettes about 25 yards from your dog, ideally against a dark background to help the silhouette stand out. At the base of each silhouette, position either a dummy antler or a real antler shed for your dog to find and retrieve. For added realism, you can also introduce antler scent to the antlers. This method builds your dog’s ability to visually identify antlers and reinforces the connection between the shape and the action of retrieving.
As your dog progresses, begin placing multiple silhouettes in the field to encourage more complex searches. This helps your dog develop its independent range, preparing them for real-world shed hunting situations. The goal is to guide your dog through the search process, strengthening its ability to work on its own.
