Hound Reflex Denial

This is a really great ability, but having the hound eat my shots  and be so close to me constantly is a grating nuisance. I get that maybe the devs don't want the ability to become meta top tier, but the hound will frequently begin the ability at my side, if i'm firing any weapon, worse if it's an explosive weapon, i'm getting knocked over. If it's intended to this irritating then please extend the hounds operational range so that it maintains a little distance away from me, and isn't constantly returning to my side to absorb ammo directly from the barrel. I know the second part of the pet rework is coming up, and hopefully this gets looked at and we get new hound precepts too.

I second this. The ability is amazing but being able to at least shoot out of the bubble is mandatory.

Another huge problem is when the hound targets a priority enemy like a demolyst or a thrax during void cascade, or even an eximus during interception. This enemy becomes invincible to gunfire and this makes the hound a massive liability during these modes.
