Be careful in how you handle this. Get your dog to a competent trainer ASAP and be careful in taking advice from us on the internet.

Star was what I would call gun sensitive when she was about a year old and I took her to an excellent trainer. I followed his advice and took her to him every week. In 2 weeks, she was excited to hear a gun shot. We NEVER shot unless she was after a planted bird (either quail or pigeon)and she quickly learned that the shot meant fun. Now she comes running to the sound of the gun.

There is also a CD or tape out there that is supposed to work. I read about it in Outdoor Life a while back.

Good luck, and be careful what you do.
