[QUOTE="just_jon, post: 1879996, member: 112153"] I’ve been training springers going on 43 years and never start out with a gun. I start with two short pieces of 2x4 lumber and start clapping them together (quietly at first ) when the pup is otherwise distracted. Having other dogs that have been acclimated to guns is also a plus. I then progress to 22 rifle, then 22 pistol and on to shotguns. Be careful to shoot away from the pup at first. Be patient. Time is your friend. I believe dogs are best acclimated to loud sounds during their first 8 weeks. i took delivery of my 12 year old at a water test hunt. The whole litter were in a baby playpen sound asleep just 20 yards from the gunners. [/QUOTE]
