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 would want my dog out in front to find snakes before me or the kids do. Then I would prefer it to kill the snake. The dog is there to protect the kids or me if we are in the woods.

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

I’ve saved my dog from being bitten several times doing that exact thing.

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've trained my dog to leave snakes alone. I also don't kill them with him around, as that would encourage him to sniff them out. He's becoming more focused on squirrels as he matures, but snake bites are still my main concern with him this time of year.

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 Boykin will find a snake if it’s around,the kids were playing in the yard a few weeks back and she was out there with them,all of a sudden she raised her nose in the air and started going across the yard to an empty grown up lot about 100 yards away,well she went right to a 5’ diamondback in the ditch and started raising hell until I got over there with a shovel,she’s bayed up several chicken snakes around the house and in the big field across the road

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.

When you say “ nick” what function of the e collar are you talking about?

My dog sits on command. But neither he or my wife saw that Snake until they were on it in the high grass along the road.

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.

You don’t use an e collar to punish a dog. You use it to mark behaviors. Imagine it as being able to tug on the leash with a remote.

You teach a dog the command, make sure they know it, and then use the e collar to re-enforce it.
