Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

I havn't introduced him to gunfire yet. He's a little timid of new noises, for example if I start the truck he seems scared for a few seconds, so I'm gonna take it slow. I have had him out in the tall grass, and my wife and I have worked on quartering in areas where we could run into some wild birds. I'm really looking forward to the 2025 season!

Take him to the local trap range with his favorite toy and treats. Play in the truck, in the parking lot behind the guns and if he is good with that roll down the windows a bit. If he is good with that take him out of the truck on lead and play some more. If he is good with that start working very slowly towards the line. But keep it fun and games. Back up if he gets edgy.
