I like to sit next to my pups giving them a pat and drop a broom next to us,make a fuss of the pup after the cracking noise ,generally after a few sessions youll notice the pup will just look at the noise with no concern ,then maybe shoot over them with a .22 but watch the pups reaction and praise it after the shot.
try to do 'some form of training' earlier as if the pup does develop a shyness it is far harder to correct it than introduce it.
It will posibly be easier then you think.
Good luck,shes a nice looking pup.
