Thread: What to do with 308 when I start with my dog

@JBNZ you'll often find the pup will pull back a bit, or lock up, so you can actually move forward so he/she is beside you when you shoot. I've hardly ever shot with the dog in front.
@stumpys you crack me up. My vizsla/gsp is conditioned to the front door, ice machine, and and kitchen meal prep.

I might get heat for this, but on our farm the dogs come out to the range with us all the time and pretty much lay around while were putting all kinds of rounds from whatever down range, none of which is suppressed. These current dogs and the ones before them. Never noticed a difference with their hearing, and they'll come clear across the yard if they hear someone bite a dorito or something. I wouldnt worry about it.

Do you use ear protection yourself when chain sawing and stuff?
