Start him easy. Let him see guns, smell them, be around them. Give him treats.

Start first shooting at a distance when he is eating. .22s at fifty feet or so.

Then go to treats and .22s a little bit closer. Praise him for just being there with you. Make a big deal of it.

That will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about him and how he handles that sort of thing.

Go easy. Lots of praise and encouragement. No big loud stuff.

Some dogs CANNOT be made to accommodate gunfire. Be ready for that.
