Here is a method an old country boy told about. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! It is just a joke.:

Take the dog to a pond in the winter. Take him out in a jon boat with your shotgun. Tie the dog to the boat with a 20 ft. rope. Paddle out into the pond. Shoot the gun and let the dog jump in the cold water and pull the boat to the bank.
Put the dog back in the boat and do it again. Repeat this as many times as dog can pull the boat without drowning or until the dog decides the gun ain't so bad after all.
