Re: [RC] Dogs,horses,and snakes/elec collar? - steelsidedownDogs? I had to rescue a 6' black snake from my tomcat! He had the snake "corned" in yard. The snake had no choice but to coil and attempt to strike at the cat. I have a large pond, so I was relieved to see just a harmless black snake. Any thoughts on training barn cats? (I realize I could have left them alone, but stepped in for the snakes safety.)Jen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ridecamp Guest" <guest-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 11:28 AM Subject: [RC] Dogs,horses,and snakes/elec collar?
Too bad our dogs and horses can't all get just enough of a bite in the nose to be a painful but harmless lesson. We "snakeproof" our dogs with the elec. collar (it's one of the few times I ever use the "high" settings.)It's not always effective;I've heard some dogs decide thereafter to pre-emptively attack and kill every snake they encounter.The collar deal ought to work with horses;the settings would need to be very low for a horse.(You catch a non-poisonous snake,put it in a pillow case,and put it in the refridgerator for at least two hours to make it torpid enough to control during the lesson.)Chico don' like snakes;some deer apparently hate 'em,judging from the deer-stomped snakes I've seen.Maybe they did get a punch(non-venemous or "dry" venemous) in the nose while grazing,and thus learned.
