I don’t want to hijack any of the other threads so I just wanted to start this one as a PSA.
Teach your dog to sit as soon as you take it home. Don’t just teach it to sit with treats. Re-enforce it with an e collar. Even at 3 months, use the e collar. When they sit, nick them as soon as the butt hits the ground and mark the behavior with it. It pays off.
Before my dog turned 1, we ran across a chicken snake, a black racer and a timber rattler. The dog goes everywhere with me every day. Every time I saw a snake, I yelled “SIT” to the dog. It must have stuck, because it became second nature. The dog was in the middle of zoomies last fall, stopped on a dime and sat. Sure enough, a little garter snake was about 5 yards from her.
Moral of the post is to teach your dog young to stop whatever they’re doing and be still when the see a snake. It’ll help you in the woods too.

I like to teach the snakes to sit. No preference, either pistol or shotgun works properly..

The vet can give your dog shots to make them immune to snakebites. They're not cheap though.

Y’all need a snake killing machine like Raven. I can always tell when she finds a snake. When the hair on her back stands up and she starts circling it, it’s fixing to be bad news for the snake. I do watch her close at the camp. Only time I’ve seen a timber rattler and she was with me, I brought her back to the camp and went back and dealt with the snake. Cottonmouths don’t stand a chance with her.
It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.

I don't want my dogs to leave them alone, I want them to bark and raise hell when one comes in the yard. The fiest and mountain curs I've had are pretty good at this.

My GSP loves finding snakes, I bet she has found 30 or more in my yard (base of mountain). She got popped by a baby rattlesnake when she was a pup and has hated them with a passion since. I’ve killed I think 4 around the house that she has found and went nuts until i shot. Her and rat snakes are fun to watch, she’ll catch them and shake the crap out of them and sling them across the yard like she a killer whale and they are a seal.
We are not perfect, only forgiven!!!

Why do you nick as soon as their butt hits the ground. I would think you would nick until their butt hit the ground. I was wondering the same thing. Dog does what you want it to and you zap it? Seems backwards to me. God Bless, David B.
