Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default 3 Easy Steps to GunBreaking Dawgs

This might be useful -

Quote:
In my adventures with Catahoulas I have yet to see one that wasn't initially afraid of firearms. Over time I have developed a method of three simple steps that works very well, for me at least. The first is to desensitize a dog to the sudden noise. The second is to develop an understanding of what that noise causes to happen far away. The third is to develop a reward system for chasing what has been shot. These three steps are however worthless if you haven't established a good bond with your dog and do not have its trust.

Do not be in a hurry, it will on occasion require extreme patience if you have a real problem child. Being in a rush will not accomplish anything but anxiety for both you and the dog, the dog is scared enough as it is without you acting erratic and getting severely bent out of shape. This method is meant to be used for one dog at a time. Two dogs will "feed" off each other's fear causing a huge uphill battle.

My black Border Collie hated guns.
She was very hearing sensitive.

What sounds loud to the human ear becomes four times louder to a dog. Higher than normal frequencies will cause Fido to bark at, attack or even run to hide. As an example, turn the volume up on the television or radio to four times what you normally listen to and you’ll have an idea of a dog’s audio sensitivities. Psychologically a diet of continued loud sounds such as screaming children, rock music, increased television volume or similar can cause a dog to have behavior problems due to noise stress.

Yep. I farted so loudly this morning, it set off the puppy and the older dog to barking.

That was one to be proud of, if I do say so myself.
