Thread: Gun shy

Team

A good hunting buddy of mine has a 6 month old collie foxy cross who is turning out to be quite gun shy. Even round the 22. My pup (a collie ridgeback cross) is the same age and is turning out to be a great gun dog and performing well with rabbits - haven't taken him to deer yet as still to young. But my mates dog...not so much. Is there anything we can do to correct/get her used to the sound? or is there not much that can be done?
Both dogs have had same introductions so maybe she's just gun shy and he's not?

Not expecting too much in terms of retrieving or scenting from her as she's from a working family, he just wants a companion. She's ultra obedient and highly intelligent in all other areas.

Any advice would be helpful.
