DogBone Real Shed Antlers allow for finish training of your shed dog. much like the old gundog saying "no birds, no bird dog", so goes "no sheds, no shed dog".  The DogBone Real Shed is an authentic shed antler with full pedicle and without "cutoff" tines which cause unrealistic burnt smell. We do not recommend the use of antler cutoffs when training as the process of cutting off the antler's pedicle eliminates 90% of the natural sheds odor and burns the antler, producing un-natural odor. WARNING! WE STRONGLY SUGGEST INTRODUCING YOUR DOG OR PUP TO THE SHED ANTLER SHAPE, SMELL AND FEEL USING THE DOGBONE 3 STEP PROCESS PRIOR TO THE USE OF HARD HORNS.Â
