this is how i did it to introduce labs to gunfire (granted it was introduced while tossing a dummy but the principle should be the same). start at a distance from the dog with blank gun .209primer or .22 it don't really matter. slowly progress closer (over a week or two) to the dog as he becomes accustomed to the "bang". after you can stand by the dog and shoot the blank gun and the dog does not flinch or pay any mind to it, i'd buy a box of .12gauge poppers. you can find them in most any dog supply catalog. i used to get mine from Lion Country Supply. you can fire them in a regular single shot 12gauge. and do the same routine as you did with the smaller blank gun and work your way toward the dog. i haven't come across a dog that this method did not work with.
