When I was training Police Dogs in the 70s and 80s, I used a 22 cal blank for
many years. I stopped using the 22 and went to a shot gun or 357 cal for the
test after one of my trainees that had passed the test with the 22 and was in
the field with his Police Officer Partner showed up noise shy. This dog was
retested and retired as noise sensitive.
In the Von Stephanitz book the Captain refers to a dog that would stand during
cannon fire but would run from thunder. Apparently a different type of noise
created a different response.
