Yeah, they have trained snake handlers and stuff. I think one of them was de-rattled, but the other one was rattling. Pretty sure the snakes are de-fanged, too.

Just make sure the dog doesn't learn to associate the collar with the shock. Dogs are smart when it comes to sh*t like that.
What do you hunt down there? Quail? I wouldn't think Pheasant would do well.

If your dog learns the only time he ever gets shocks is sometime after a different collar gets put on, he'll eventually figure out that the collar is responsible. My Weimeraner knows exactly what the shock collar means, although it's still effective in the field. It's just not effective as a training tool anymore.

They have "refresher" sessions as well.

Ideally, you'd put the collar on way in advance with the hopes that he doesn't ever put it in the same memory as the snake and the shock. Or, if the dog truly has forgotten why he's supposed to stay away from snakes, he's probably forgotten the collar as well. I'm sure if you're paying someone to do it, they are probably professional enough to know all of this.

Do you have a better idea? Putting the collar on the dog out in the field is not going to do any good. He will see the snake before you do. The idea is to teach him to stay away from a snake when HE sees it.

I have a dog who I put a shock collar on to stop his barking, he definately understands that he gets shocked while barked because he stops.. he also understands that when you take the collar off he can bark his head off. I'm sure it works for lots of dogs, I'm also sure lots of dogs figure it out.

I wasn't trying to say it was bad. I was simply warning that if done wrong, the dog will "figure out" that the collar is part of the experience.
