Any tips on conditioning the dog to the sound of the catapult?? My staffy goes mad and tries to eat the catapult every time I use it lol 

Staffies are a really intelligent breed should be able to get him marking and retrieving squirrels without to much effort, just get him chasing them first then when he trees one and you shoot it down he will pick up the rest fairly quickly?

Thanks mate yeah she loves the chase, I reckon I’d struggle to get her to drop it tho lol.

She doesn’t like the sound of the elastic making the snap noise and would lunge towards the catapult barking. I’ve started giving her a treat after firing the catapult. Seems to be working a bit she will sit while I do it and not bark or lunge towards it but you can see she’s a uneasy with the noise tho. I reckon I’ll keep doing that and she should get used to it ?

My Russel was terrified of the catty until she got her first squirrel mate now she’s scanning the branch’s as soon as I get it out, she’ll come good when she sees the reward  ?
