Regarding your gunshy dog, start with a friend and a sporting clays range. I found a clays range here in NC that let me come on a day when they were closed just to train my dog once I got to talking to the owner, and a friend of mine held our dogs (3 of them) about 50 yards away from the shooting, and once they don’t mind the noise anymore, bring them a little closer and a little closer until they’re eventually at your side. Within 20 minutes our dogs ignored the noise altogether. If you already know your dog is gunshy, take it slower and see how she responds.
