Congratulations—to you and your pup.
So, is your question about the dog retrieving the shot wad on shots where there was no bird to retrieve? If so, no, that’s not happened, but my dogs have had many(!!!) opportunities!

Yes. We've had 7 hunting dogs and every one except one has in their first year retrieved a wad. And have to believe that when training with a dummy launcher they get used to scenting the burnt powder on the dummy? I can't be the only one that's had this happen. Then again we've had some strange dogs in our family!
