First Day Beagle Hunting Tomorrow

Shooting in the wind... said:
Well took the dog out again, managed to get a squirrel. Dog was about 20 yards away from me when I shot. He looked surprised and tuck his tail, he looked unsure of what happened but he didn’t run. I just sounded excited and told him to get the squirrel, he then followed me into the woods where the squirrel laid. He smelled it but didn’t really seem interested in it. He acted kind of unsure and followed behind me for a little bit after that, but soon he went back to his business of smelling everything and appeared to have forgotten about it. I did manage to get him into a creek, lol.

If I am not too late to the party on this.. Take your dog to a gun range. Park a way from it were the noise is very low. Play with your dog. Fetch if he like to fetch. As you play keep walking toward the range and gun fire sounds. Keep him happily playing. Keep praising him and petting him... When you get close enough that it seems to keep his attention stop there and play with his until he disregards the sounds. keep doing this until you can get to the range and walk around near the line, and he remains calm. THIS MAY TAKE SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE RANGE..... If you frighten the dog it will be harder or impossible to correct..

JUST READ ALL THE POSTS. I WAS LATE TO THE PARTY.. You did the right thing when you got the squirrel and it startled him.. Good job.
