If you gave your dog sheds as "chew toys", do you think that would help the dog search for them?

No clue the right way to train a dog. Mine was a pup last summer and I kept antlers around as toys, but never as a chew toy. When I take him shed hunting now if I see one I'll stop and just wait until he finds it, then he brings it to me. So far he hasn't found one that I hadn't seen first but every one he's found he's brought to me. Lots of praise for him when he does that.
