Hey there, we are Freya and Bjorn, American Labradors with dreams of becoming the best shed hunting dogs ever. We also have puppies from time to time.
09/12/2022
So we have Frank, Butterfly, Erik, Bob, Leife, Mrs. Bjorn, Rose, Peggy and Molly.
Bob is the runt at 2lbs 5oz. Frank and Mrs. Bjorn are the biggest 3lbs 7oz. Then the rest are 3lbs to 3.4lbs
I think she is officially a shed hunting dog for life! The last time we came to this are for her shed dog training, it was horrible. All I can say is WOW!! It is amazing what a couple days have done for her.
I am more and more convinced that when you are training a shed hunting dog, you have to build on the connections. Even if your training is not perfect, you have to find what it is about that specific shed hunting session that is going right and focus on it.
It was amazing to watch her smell the sheds in the wind! As soon as she caught even a wiff of them, her nose was straight into the air to track down where the shed was laying.
I wondered when the transition from shed dog training by sight to training by smell happen. Today proved to me, she is a shed hunting dog by smell now! This was by far our best day of shed hunting dog training so far and I can't wait for next week, when we are out looking for sheds again.
This time, its the real thing and we are going to put this shed dog and our training to the test.

When you are training a shed dog or bird dog for that matter, there are going to be days when things just don't go right. This shed hunting experience started out just like I would have expected. We dropped a few sheds to find later, we ran and explored...
Then all hell broke loose! Two minutes into our actual shed dog training, the woods lit up with a fight between some dogs and cotoyes. And it was loud, they were everywhere around us and Freya had a puppy melt down. She would work a little, then whine, find a shed but had no interest in picking it up.
About 15 minutes in, I had completely given up on shed hunting, hoping I could find the few sheds I through out for her. It went almost immediately from shed hunting, to dog obedience school. After watching back the footage, I decided to make this video because it actually wasn't as bad as it seemed at the time. If you ever train a shed dog, you will have these moments. If you ever train a dog period, you are going to have these moments.
In the end, while shed hunting training got put on pause for the day, we still made a ton of progress and I am really proud of how she preformed in the days after. It was a good reminder to not let one tough day define your progress!
