If the dog will tree, try and shake a few coons down to it, this really will help. If you can get it over being shy of the sight of the gun, and can get to the tree, when it's treeing tie it and praise 'em. I've found that if I use a rifle with CB caps or 22 shorts that I don't shake the dog up to bad. The main thing is positive reinforcement and patience. I've got a healer that's a good tree dog but shy of any noise louder than a 22 short. The thing with her is she's still mouthed on a track and has caught quite a few on the ground, this seems to really turn them on. For a gyp, about 45 lbs, she's a pretty fair kill dog. Just don't use anything with a loud report. We've killed lots of coons with cur dogs. Good luck.
