gunbreaking a troubled dog?
hello all.
here's my problem. my mom has a beautiful yellow lab that is perfectly suited as a bird dog. he loves water no matter the temperature and if you throw a stick for him you'll be his best friend for a month. the only problem is once when he was a hell raising puppy he ran away and one of our neighbors nailed him with a load of bird shot so now he is terrified of guns. even paintball guns and firecrackers have him cowering at the front door, whining. do I have any hope of turning him into a hunting dog or is he just doomed to be the family pet?
