First command sit/stay is really helpful when they are off a lead.
Never had a shotgun noise problem with Larry Brittany, Mr. Sensitive. I'd take him to the trap range on club night. We'd play and have snacks starting a fur piece away. Next week a little closer. Before long we were behind the scorer's bench socializing. (Of course Larry set the pace of advancement.)
Never got him used to rifle/pistol fire. To us a boom is a boom but not to Mr. Sensitive. Had him with me on a quick trip to the rifle range to check zero and thought nothing of it. Ever see an oversize Britt try to crawl under an Explorer front seat? Funny but I felt a little bad about that.
