Shed Hunt
Shed hunt is an activity and dog sport where your dog finds naturally shed antlers from deer, moose and elk. These animals naturally shed their antlers every winter and people realized how good dogs are at finding them. The sport started so people can keep shed hunting all year round.
We offer training programs to teach your dog how to find and retrieve shed antlers for competition and wild shed hunting. We have antlers from whitetail deer, mule deer, and moose so your dog can find sheds from many different species.
Competition antlers are usually from average to large sized whitetail or mule deer. In our classes we train for all sizes of antlers (wild sheds in Michigan are typically smaller than competition sheds).

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I offer shed hunt classes at our location in Hamilton. I also will travel to teach for groups of dogs in a class, workshop or seminar set up.

We use a variety of antlers in our classes from white tail deer, mule deer and moose. We use Bone Clone brand scented wax which is used by UKC in their trials. We provide these things at our classes for you to use. If you wanted to practice at home you would need to buy an antler and bone clone. We can help you source an antler.
Other things to bring to class is yummy treats or a toy as a reward, a flat collar and leash or longline (longline if we are still working on recalls).
