Shot a coon out to my 8 month old walker last night and found out she's gun shy..I know its hard to break a dog from bein gun shy but anybody got any ideas on how to go about doin it?
 
What you done is the best thing you can do. Try to have someone hold her instead tie her up. Was she more afraid of the shot or more afraid that she couldn't get loose? Has the dog been tied up before?

what happens when the coon hit the ground? did the dog want anything to do with it?
 
When mine was a pup each time I fed her I would throw those snap and pops that the kids like

then moved up to a cap gun

she was busy eating and never seemed to mind the noise.

after the cap gun I was lighting black cat fireworks


we have been out shooting skeet and she didnt like at first but soon warmed up.

we have been duck hunting a couple times and it does not seem to bother her
 
You need to get it taken care of before you even attempt to hunt her again. Now she is scared of you, guns, the dark, and coons because it all happened at the same time. If she is not broke she will never tree good or at all because she knows now that when she sees you coming the loud noise that scared her is also coming. What I would do is every day at feeding time, I would feed her, then I would back off out of sight the first time and fire my gun in a safe direction a couple of times. Do this as long as it takes just after feeding every day until you can stand right at her kennel/chain and fire the gun without it bothering her. Until you do this she will never be what you want her to be. As a general rule I always try to make sure mine is lead broke, gun broke and knows how to come when called before I ever take them out. You may not have thought about that but that is okay because my first hound didnt know about any of that stuff. Practice and more training makes for better hounds. Hope this works and you get her lined out.

Most dog traders wont tell you that stuff just to make a sale. This don't mean she can't be fixed though. Try what I said for a week or two and see if it helps. Good luck.
