I was wondering if anyone has any tips on correcting gun shyness? The plan for now is simple gun equals hot dog if you don't freak out. Seems to be working. I also would like to know how to not mess up the next dog.
I saw a young Brittany do this at our gun club when the skeet range was active. She wanted over there so bad she couldn't stand it. That's why I got a Brittany and I got very, very lucky with him - his only reaction when I shoot is to look at me and think "You missed again, stupid..." and he is a joyful retriever to boot.The Brittney I had was never afraid of gun shots. The first time I checked to see if she was she was behind me about 50 yrds when I shot my 20ga. My neighbor who was holding her on a leash said she almost pulled his arm off running to the gun shot. She knew what it was and wanted to be in the action.
I had several good Brittanies .. and one bad one. No more quail equals no more bird dogs for me.Blue68 - THIS!
