Curing u Gun Shy Dog.

An old hunter tells the following
story relative to gun shy dogs:
"a few years ago | owned an Irish
terrier who was not only frightened
out of his wits at the report of a gun,
but who would flee at the sight of one
or even mt the sound of the click caus-
ed by closing the breech. To cure him
| used to take him on Il chain fastened
to Il belt around my waist and used to
fire continually at small birds. Occa-
sionally | let him chase rabbit, shot
it as close in front of his nose as |
dared and then let him pick 1t up.
This was of course teaching him bad
manners, but to cure him of running in
was an easier matter than breaking
him of being gun shy After a month
or two of this sort of thing-and it very
often meant dragging him out by main
force-he began to understand that the
gun was quite harmless to himself and
that there was fun to be had some
times in addition. Eventually whenev
er he saw me pick up the gun he went
wild with excitement, and to the day
of his death, although only a terrier,
he was one of the best dogs with the
gun | ever had"
