In many of the sporting breeds, it is common when they are pups to fire
a pistol when they are fed, to condition them to the sound, and also, I
think, to associate it with something pleasant. This is considered a
normal thing to do.
What are your thoughts on this? Apparently a Shepherd shouldn't be
conditioned to loud sounds, according to the discussion on the list.
Apparently the sporting breeds consider it a thing done routinely, and
we frown on it. Doris E
Can you imagine a springer spaniel with a better attitude around guns than a
GSD???
I love Springers, but I will rather live with a GSD.
We have a starter gun, and my guys are so oblivious to gun shots....they
don't care about fireworks either. Or storms. Oh, sorry, the poodle doesn't
like
storms, but I don't have her in the "I trust you with my life" category
either.......<G>
