Two blocks of 2x4 work extremely well for noise introduction. Don’t need to be more than a foot long. You can control how loud they clap. You don’t hurt your pots or cabinets. My ears ring sometimes when I slap them together. If the pup can handle that it won’t flinch at a gun shot. Of course do this with food and even while playing fetch in the house. I have my wife slap them together when throwing canvas dummies around the house as early as 10wks old.
Gun Dog/Water Dog etc... will tell you it’s never too early to work on “Sit, Stay, Come”. If your dog masters not learns but masters these three basic commands it will do anything else. These are also essential for your dogs safety when out in the field. Also they translate to whatever style of training route you want to take your dog.
