Thread: dog afraid of gun shots

Just wondering if anyone would have any tips on how to get my dog use to gun shots.
She was fine when we were using the smaller guns and would happily follow us along for months. Then she heard my partner shoot the shotgun up ahead one day and that scared the shit out of her she just ran all the way back to the car. Now anything larger than a 22. firing she freaks out about.

Any ideas would be great, it just would be nice for her to tag along when we do a bit of pest control on mates farms. Plus she has a good nose so she was a helpful indicator for us to know when we were getting close to something.

cheers
