ive been training Gunner for hunting and when he was small i introduced a shotgun. i would shoot it around him and he loved it, he would even run to the edge of the lake to see what fell.

today my nephews wanted to shoot skeet.. so my dogs follows us all happy.. and when they first cocked the shotgun, Gunner took off running, freaked out as all hell. so i got him to me and kneeled near him and held his colar. i even talked in his ear giving him praises, and when they fired he jumped and almost broke my arm trying to get away. i held him sitting near me again, telling him in his ear it was ok. well they shot and he jumped but stayed sitting, but u can tell he wanted to leave badly. we did they for a couple more shots and then he layed down and refused to get up unless id let him run away.

why all of a sudden hes gun shy? he wasnt like that before, he really enjoyed beiing around guns.. now he runs.. is my dog ruined?
