Shelby was kind of a natural at recovering sheds but I never really worked with her on making it a desired command or task that we specifically went out to do. When I get my new puppy I want to work with her more on specifically going shed hunting in the spring. Has anyone had any experience training a tracking dog to also be a shed dog?? I'm wondering how I need to go about having her distinguish between hunting wounded deer and hunting sheds.....I usually tell the dogs "Lets find it!....Let's hunt it up!"....when we go tracking......I guess I just need to come up with a completely different command from the beginning and have her recognize the difference.
Any advice is appreciated.....

Thanks....the difficult part seem to me to be to get the dog to distinguish when we're out there to JUST look for one or the other.....For instance, we might be out searching for a wounded deer and Shelby come across a shed. She'd pick it up and bring it to me but I didn't want her to think that suddenly I wanted her searching for sheds.....I didn't know whether to praise her or scold her.

Different line of work/sport but i train my canine in 3 languages and also hand signals. The hand signals are only used when audible isn't needed at times and close in work. I joke around about them being multilingual but English is used as daily engagement/etc. German is used in sport and another language for serious work. When i had labs for field work i used hand signals,English for daily task and redneck for hunting.

Going to sound crazy but when English is used it's basically for pet/manners/house and they are nowhere as driven as they are when spoke to in the other 2 languages. I ONLY use German and the other language when truly working them and they are also rewarded a much higher value reward. I always have to make sure i have that HVR on me.
