They can. Not every dog that hears fireworks becomes gun shy. The dogs that get hurt are the ones who had a bad, close, or repeated experience with no positive context — then you take them hunting and the shotgun sounds like the same threat.
Watch for the quiet version: the dog that just sits by you and stops being itself. That is enough.
Gunshy Fix if the problem is showing up on birds and guns. Firework Shy if the trigger is still the holiday noise.
Gunshy Fix is the at-home program Tyce built for this — eight lessons, music first, gunfire last. We do not guarantee every dog. We do the work in our wheelhouse to give the dog a real chance. Start Gunshy Fix — $39.99
