I'd sure be curious to hear comments on training dogs to hunt sheds. I've got some experience training beagles to hunt rabbits. One the big problems we've had is training the beagles to not hunt deer. When rabbit numbers are down, the beagles get bored. Then they find deer to chase. Before too long, the beagles want to chase deer even more than rabbits. I don't know if this is problem with bird dogs.

Hey Jeremy,

Check out my blog from last week. There's a book from dog trainer Tom Dokken on how to train your dog, any dog, to hunt for sheds.

Good luck!

I saw that, thats why I asked this question. I would have put the question there, but it looks like the post has been hi jacked by the spamers.
