well I did buy a .22 starter gun online for 33.95.. which i think is gonna be a piece of crap.. but i need something to start my dog off with. this is a track gun starter pistol.. will this work?



heres a picture of my dog pointing at a Dove on a walk... and you can see the raised right paw...

Yes, it will, that is what I use. It has always worked for me, so I cannot see why it wouldn't work for you. I got mine so long ago it cost 16.95...........Bob

yah i suppose so.

i once found a starter gun on gundogsupply.com. what a joke! 209.00 for a kit? not including the blanks for it.. only to get an orange handle gun with a case.. whoopie do. im gonna start sophia on a 33.95 gun and then move onto a .17 then my brother's 20 guage shotgun and then on to the 12 gauge auto i have.


so far she hasnt got scared of my hard clap i did a few times.. my mother's shit tzu runs for cover every time i clapped.... mother told me to knock it off. lol

A lot of dogs got broke to gun with my gun. So I know it works. Did you know there are 2 types of blanks there are son that are a little cripped cat then there is the like a .22 short that has no lead. They are the loud one. I start with little cap then go to the shorts..........Bob

You could avoid the expense and start farther away with a .17 - have someone else shoot from 100 yards away or something then move closer
