I think she's a little freaked out by the noise, but I reassure her and she calms down. She sees that the other dog associates it with pleasure. I've only shot about a half a box over her, and haven't killed anything, lol. We'll see how it goes. Going to try grouse next week, maybe at least get her on some live scent. She's definitely interested in birds. She perks up at songbirds, geese, gulls, whatever. Also, she loved the leftover pheasant feathers from my garden this spring. I'll keep you all posted.
