    It's not so much about the age of the pup, it's more about the preparation you've done before you introduce it to actual gunfire and the way you introduce it.

    However, 10 weeks is quite young and I'd be doing plenty of hand clapping as the pup is tearing around / sticking it's nose into bushes etc before moving onto a $2 Shop cap-gun (at a distance first, then move progressively closer), then a starters pistol. It's not something that should be rushed and you have to work within the pup's comfort levels with each step.

    Get the foundation right before you jump too far ahead. She's just a pup, let her be one.
