Socializing Doberman Puppies to Gunshots

1/5/2021

1 Comment

 
This is one of many socialization things we do before puppies go home. Loud, startling noises are an easy thing to socialize for when you start early. I was about 50 yards away shooting an AR, while the puppies were eating. At this age they have such a high food drive, that a loud noise will distract them for a moment, but with the reward of food being constantly in front of them and accessible, its a guaranteed positive experience. Continuing this at a safe distance as they age, while doing 1 shot closer by (1 shot at a closer distance is not likely to cause hearing damage. a second shot increases this chance), will make sure you end up with a dog who isn't gun shy, and is considerable better around loud machinery etc.
