I had one that was quite worried whe she started working on the beat, but now she's fine. My other two have never had a problem: all depends how you rear them IMO. If they associate a gun shot with game then they're happy.

For the first week or so of my last JRT's life with me I was laying a timber floor so I was hammering all day long,and she used to come within a few inches of the nails as I was hitting them.I think what this did was to desensitize her to bangs as she never ever flinched while out with the shotgun.

By the way I'm not telling you that you have to lay a new floor.................what I am saying is that JRT's are probably less likely to worry about the shotgun if there is game about,because they have tunnel vision and total concentration when on game of any sort.

I made the mistake of dispatching with a pistol in one hand and my little bitch under my other arm. She's now shy of them but not to the point of running off, just keeping her distance. It was away from the dig (quarry had bolted) so she doesn't connect going to ground with the handgun.

 

I've seen plenty of russells that it doesn't bother at pretty close range

By the time they could have heard the shot they were dead so it really is a mute point. :whistle:
