[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1245347, member: 30902"] Doc thee even better way to do it is to as you are driving up to the kennel to feed, work dogs etc hang a .22 out the window or a blank gun and start firing a few shots as you slowly approach. The older dogs will of course very quickly make the connection that your doing so means dinner is just about to be served and in short order will get the salivating just like Pavlov's dogs at the sound of the first shot. Dogs however are very people, place, and circumstance oriented so you really need to know the exact circumstances and who was involved when one got screwed up to know the best way to approach the "Fix". Inevitibly though if you have a dog with lots of bird drive and start off very early making it a positive association between the shot and getting a bird in the mouth with very little care at all you can get them over one bad incident that you think has made them shy. Unfortunately most people can't really read a dog well enough to see the problems in their infancy and by the time I figure out that they've created a problem a great deal of damage has already been done.
