Default RE: Gun shy dog

Hey guys,

Thanx for the suggestions, I hope we didn't start any serious arguments. I guess what ever the situation is everyone has different opppions, and what works for one might not work for the other. Anyway, this is not really a hunting dog but more or less a house and outside dog. I can't think of anything that should have caused her to be so afraid of loud noises, the first time she heard a gun she just took off running and ended up a mile away.
I think I will do like a couple of you suggested and get her really excited about something that she really likes and start with a small cap gun and work our way up to something bigger. I'd just like to shoot my muzzleloader outside, but she just gets scared and hides somewhere. Anyway thanx for the help and I will let you know what happens..
