Snake Breaking:

In some parts of the country like the Southeast you and your dog must be prepared to come in contact with venomous snakes including Copperheads, Eastern Diamond Backs, Water Moccasins (Cotton Mouths) etc. (See Photo of Eastern Diamond Back). Many hunters hope to take a proactive approach to the inevitable crossing of paths with these dangerous reptiles by training there dogs to move away from snakes. Of course it’s usually not the visible ones that bite but any decrease in contact with a venomous snake is a good thing for both dogs and people. With the aid of an e-collar and a unwilling poisonous participant hunter/trainers try to instill a fear of snakes in order to protect their dogs from severe injury or even death.
