[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1928357, member: 92230"] Drathaars are cool!! We did snake training last year, my dog picked up on it so quick the guy told us not to finish the course (we made it just over half way through). By the time we got to the 3rd bull snake I was literally dragging my dog up to the snake. Typically they like to shock the dog as soon as they recognize that the dog has seen or reacted to scent (in a negative way, ie: acting “interested”). My dog REFUSED to get anywhere near a snake. They have you circle down wind and then work into the snake. Atlas figured out immediately that every tree that had a man standing by it, had a snake, and therefore an associated shock.... he dug his heals in and refused to go where he knew there was danger. The guy told me he’d never seen a more snake-aware dog in the 4 years he’d been volunteering (there were hundreds of dogs on course that day). He’s never since been non-compliant for me, except when there’s a snake. He and I feel the same way about anything that slithers!! [/QUOTE]
