so here's a question for ya.  I used to have dogs that did not really care if you shot a gun around them.  Then a while ago I had a dove hunter on the next property pepper my kennels with birdshot.  He hit a couple dogs, and me ( I was cleaning kennels at the time).  Nothing serious just stung them. Still made me pretty mad.  Now if they hear a shot they are headed for the pickup.  How would you go about curing that?  Same as you would starting one out?  I don't plan on baying and shooting a lot, but i would like to be able to throw one dog in the back of the pickup when I go fill feeders or something and just let them loose to hunt while i do. 

I'm concerned that if I shoot a hog in front of the gunshy dogs they're gonna get spooked every time I get close to a bay thinking they're gonna get peppered again.
