its possible to shot dummies with a shotgun. Keller & Simmann make inserts for common 9 mm blanks

its an expensive pleasure and hard to get in australia but a reloader can copy this with a common cheap shotgun, handload 12 ga blanks to fire a dummy for the dog. this connect play and noise in the best way together.

First question, are the 9 mm blanks you mention actual 9 mm pistol cartridge blanks? Shot from a true 9 mm handgun? Or some starter pistol blanks?
I think a shotgun dummy launcher would be great fun. Associated with a gun. The bang. The launched dummy bird. And fun for me.
But we'll down the gun shy dog training track. First he needs to not be scared of guns. Then distant hangs and so on.
I'd seen videos of specialist dog dummy launchers. Not a shotgun. But they cost hundreds of dollars.
I don't think either will be acceptable for a public park.
