Starter Pistol

You might try starting with a cap gun before a starting pistol and hand clapping before that. Tom Dokken had a good article in Gun Dog magazine on the subject of gun conditioning a dog. One thing he did say is that if you screw this up it could be the one thing can't fix on your dog. Good luck with your dog with this, let us know how it turns out.

cap gun for sure first start at feeding time when the pup has its nose in the dish. May want to transfer this thread to the dog section you may get more response

No issues with gun shyness...he's 16 months old. All that has been done This is simply training.

I got a dummy launcher for my dog and it worked like a hot damn. From the get-go it was sound-reward in one step. It uses 22 blanks which are cheap and its really fun too.

Is it loud. I would like to get one. I have a starter pistol. I use the blackpowder blanks in it. It is very loud. And 22cal. I use it when I am at the farm. I can not use it where I live.
