I have a plastic cap gun. While at play, I pop off a few caps. Next, out comes a Stevens .22/.410, and some CB Longs.
The Stevens is the perfect starter gun, because I can switch to the .410 barrel for live pigeons. The dog becomes accustomed to seeing me with a long gun, so the switch to the Parker 12 gauge is pretty seamless.
Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues with gun shyness in 3 decades. I'm working with a rescue GSP baby girl right now, and we sailed past gun intro, and are now working on the retrieving skills.
I would post pics, but hearts would melt like butter on pancakes.
