Really?
I've got a chocolate lab here thats coming up to 18 months old, and I was gonna take her out after rabbits and possums with an UNsuppressed .22 running subs, then supers.
Just so she gets used to the idea of the bang-dead-meat-thing and associates the rifle with hunting.

I had a German Shepard as a kid - any time the blue swandri went on, or she saw the rifle, she'd bounce up from her mat, jumping around yipping and raring to go!
She knew what a rifle was - she always kept her eye on the business end.
And as Spanners said earlier - that look of disbelief when the "bang"-nothing happened..... priceless
