Lol - I do believe BC's and other collies are some of the easiest dogs to train - Sadie is exceptionally easy to train even with the JRT in her and I know they are hard to train (well some)

Thanks and good luck with yours

How close was he to the guns?? at 6 months if he was on top of them its no wonder he didn't like them, the best way to get a dog used to guns is to start a way off and work up to them, to be honest if his only interest is nose to the floor working then it maybe worth giving gundog work another go, 1 of my springers is like this, and i have tried everything to get her attention out and about including waving a dead bunny in front of her that one of the others had found and fetched back, and she just isn't interested, the only think she is interested in is flushing things out, she lives for it, thankfully these days a lot more controlled than she used to be

Cheese is usually a good one, did you get the nice smelly sort? Or try pepperami sticks, they smell too!

Just out of curiosity what are you trying to teach him? And what is he doing instead?
