Practice shooting the shotgun unloaded...it's called dry-firing and it helps build good habits without having to worry about bad-habit inducing recoil.
You may want to put an EMPTY husk into the chamber so the firing pin has something to hit.
Just remember to very deliberately clear the shotgun before such practice...it is not unheard of for someone to forget the status of their weapon and put a hole through the TV, or worse.

Never was a big fan of putting an spent round in the chamber for dry firing. It just goes against standard gun safety procedures imo. I mean you look down the chamber and see a loaded round then fire the weapon. I always just dry fire with guns totally empty in a seperate room from my ammo with the gun pointed in a safe direction.
I don't think you can damage any weapon from dry firing except for maybe rim fired fireamrs and some antique weapons.
