My Two Top Dogs Get Venomous Snake And Alligator Training

My Two Top Dogs Get Venomous Snake And Alligator Training. Alright, ya'll I got one of the first training seasons Moose and Otto have done. The process of training our main dogs to stay clear of venomous snakes, and alligators, and Allie training Otto as a puppy. It's not just about hunting in Florida; it's a crucial skill for working dogs nationwide. Learn the importance of using ecollars for stimulation, how each venomous species has a distinct scent, and why it's vital for dogs to recognize and avoid them.

Seeing Moose react like he did to the collar broke my heart. However if a shock like that can save their lives it is so worth it. Cruel to be kind.

[@MrsStaceyCooper]

They should call them startle collars instead of shock collars. It’s so worth it to save their lives… Good Boy Moose!

[@susanang1732]

I always wondered how you kept them safe. On all those islands I worried about the dogs.

[@trishmontgomery4608]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@katherinep1369]

Allie is so badass, it’s very cool to hear about the hard work she puts in these dogs & in your business behind the scenes

[@copenhagencroc4649]

Not gonna lie, those e-collars have always been hard for me to watch, I've never been a fan. But I understand the purpose, and Florida wildlife is very unforgiving compared to where I live. One can only imagine, with the hunt drive of Ot' and company, how many dogs you would loose if it wasn't for these training methods. I guess the alternative would be de-fanged snakes and gators, and thats not really fair either? Anyways, love the videos as always, very educational and a great behind-the-scenes look. Take care /Mink Cowboy ;)

[@flyhead5972]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, for telling it like it is on the cruelty that dog owners do to their indoor pets. One of the main reasons I don’t have a dog is I no longer live where I can let them run and be a dog.

[@johnphillips5097]

Incredible episodes trapper mike been going through past videos 💯🤙🏼

[@manda3400]

Thanks so much for the amazing time Mike! Me and my daughter had a blast the last few days with you! Truly a once in a lifetime experience we will be talking about for years to come! Again thank you and keep up the good work! 😂🎉🎉

[@laurelkish6207]

Thanks for the discussion on working dogs. I've learned how important allowing a dog to follow its breeding really is after adopting several retired racing dogs. They love to run and you can't stop them or force them. Many people just don't get it.

[@NET-POSITIVE]

Riot was hilarious, she is just bursting full of anticipation and excitement!!

[@mikeleo5990]

Yup She pointed where the bird was and said there you go I’m outta here lol

[@PNWwonder]

Much better to have a controlled shock than a bite in the wild! I grew up with walker hounds and red bones. They love to be out there, as a kid I seen them as a pain in the arse. We had 20 or so, sometimes I miss the sounds. Sometimes 🤣

[@dbmail545]

Up here in North Florida, the "Yankee plantations" have a bounty on live rattlesnakes. They put them in a cage where the dogs can't get bit and use shock collars to train their quail dogs.

[@dougmoran13]

Thx Bro this was a very interesting thing to learn as I’ve always been on edge watching you & your dogs hunting pythons in the Everglades. You so rock Bro & I appreciate all you do for our environment & the natural critters. 👍

[@stevenharper9066]

Put the shock collar on you first 🐍🦎👍🏻😎

[@andrewbisson5052]

Love watching all your videos, so educational and informative, watching from England and we only have grass snakes (safe) and adders (poisonous bite but antidote held at most A&E departments) we just don’t have the climate to support most of the invasive species you have to control, grey squirrels are a menace and birds in recent years or signal crayfish in our rivers. Keep up the good work “Trapper Mike” all the best Andy.

[@gregconner4460]

Amazing the work your doing!

[@ARGONONYA-ye6wl]

Good DOGS!!!!! Love seeing the dogs working. Great Vid👍👍👍👍

[@kengregory6937]

Thanks for another great video. Its so nice to see the other things you need to do to run a successful business. Your dogs are amazing and it shows the love you have for them. Great advice to people getting a dog. You might love Otto's bread, but he's not a family pet animal. Family friendly yes. But he needs to fulfil his purpose. Just watching him and your other dogs, you can see the joy they have for what they do. Love the work that you do. All the best to you and Allie

[@davidobrien3600]

Another awesome video brother Mike. Always good to see Moose

[@debbiestyer453]

I was wondering how you keep your dogs safe from snakes and gators. Thank you for this video.

[@sickofthissh]

Years ago I drove up to Georgia to adopt two little orange striped male cats. They were called Maximus and Braveheart. I renamed them Max and Milo. Max was Max happy go lucky, but when he stepped out of line he was Maximus and he knew he had found trouble. I miss those two as I miss all the ones I have out-lived. I have Ryan, 11, from Nebraska, and Andrew, 5 and tiny, came from the shelter in Jacksonville. I appreciate what you go through to train your dogs about danger.

[@jasnonya3005]

At one point I raised and trained gun dogs for myself and others. Sold my 6 month old pups ( English pointers) I spent a minimum 2 hours at least 4 days a week or more working with them for the first 6 months so a fella could hunt over them basic house and yard commands. My own dogs that I kept were 2 years of intense training/ after 6 months hunting over them and them running them at least for 20 minutes and advanced commands. I recall pushing 6 to 9 puppies out of the bed of my truck and driving off with them following me on dirt roads! Literally running them ragged, then doing basics and hunt training point flush on command only , and retrieve with pigeons or quail pen birds. Back then hunting esp. upland birds or waterfowl was my religion.i still got my buck and maybe an elk an or a yogi but my bird dogs were my best friends! Watching y'all train the dogs to avoid snakes and gators making me think of having a field buddy again

[@MRSMVP1]

Reminds me of taking my kids to the pediatrician to get their vaccines 💉 you know it’s going to keep them alive but gosh it still breaks your heart.

[@nataliefoster9318]

Perfect analogy❤

[@joecentrone7053]

I totally enjoyed this video. It was so Awakening to the preparation hard work to train them. It's also amazing to me how smart they are to figure out what you want them to do. Thanks for sharing this video with us , would definitely like to see more like this 😊.

[@twotoned2774]

It was fun to watch this. Thanks for sharing.

[@squiggyg.8415]

It’s Florida so if you can get them to use their turn signals, that would be amazing too 😎 I got super lucky one Sunday my lab was bit by moccasin and my Vet. Just happened to be at his office checking on dogs.

[@PythonCowboy]

lol that might be harder than anything im doing out here! Yes, they've been very bad this year. I'm glad he's ok

[@D_M121]

This was very cool to see

[@adamsims7391]

Any video with cougar girl is a good one!

[@scottlehman9738]

Very cool work.

[@RobotsCanDoAnything]

Very interesting video. I see how much work goes into training a dog. Keep up the good work 👏

[@Edward-rc5cr]

If you ever have a reject, let me know. I do travel about 1.5 weeks out of the month, but I am constantly hunting around hillsbourgh. I'm not looking for a super hunter, just one that likes it sometimes.

[@danielashford2430]

Always enjoy the videos brother,peace to you folks…

[@HELENGodLoves]

Thanks for sharing. Otto my favorite 🎉🎉🎉

[@leecanady6749]

Very informative and helpful.

[@doonhilla]

That was weird. I just asked on the Lucky Duck video if your dogs had any close calls with snakes or gators. Interesting to see how they are trained to avoid encounters that could end bad for them. Love your work brother and love to see dogs doing what they love doing.

[@regkane-Pluvis]

Hi, Ally and you are both keepers..

[@readytogo6569]

Is Moose a Black Mouth Cur? Love that breed. Intense workers. Very cool.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I think he is a Florida curr, which is basically the same thing.

[@jeffconaway5557]

good to see you on the Martin County grade. best thing you can do for your dog is Snake avoidance training. train my GWP up there hope to run into you some time. The outdoors is where I belong. Keep up the good work. great advice to people wanting a working dog. If you dont have atleast an hour a day to train get a house dog. we train daily and hunt 3 times a week its still not enough. be safe. look forward to you next video.

[@franciscogarcia1034]

Python cowboy plus @outdoorboyz would be a great cal-lab

[@AKSayer16]

We do the same thing with porcupine in AK

[@madginger3634]

Such good advice sir. Thanks for giving it. That's why I have so much trouble picking a breed. I have no hogs to hunt regularly and no sheep/cattle to herd, so what breed to pick.

[@jessejlewismeng]

Get it Ott!

[@jazminesanchez7449]

Ol trapper Mike sprouting some grey beard hairs..

[@jocelynanonymousvlogs5418]

Awesomeness❤

[@stevec9669]

Very interesting. 👍💯

[@elkhunter76]

A dog trainer in Wyoming uses a real rattle snake with its fangs removed.

[@PaddysRatKing]

There’s one in Texas as well.

[@MrChemicals]

Removing its fangs won’t do anything. They just grow right back and that’s risky not knowing if the replacement fangs are in tact . Probably had the venom glands removed.

[@tjmmcd1]

Thank you for an outstanding and highly informative video. A couple decades ago my girl and I had a lab mix which we kept as a house dog in an apartment. It loved to run in the park on occasional weekends, but truth be told, even when I took it on neighborhood walks, I would yank on its chain when it stopped to smell the base of telephone poles, mailboxes, or even another dog's poop. At the time, I didn't realize that when a dog smells such things it's comparable to us humans watching the best scenes from the most incredible, awesome movie. I realize now that aside from tiny, toy dog breeds, ALL dogs need to be able to run, smell and play outdoors for hours, every single day. It's akin to animal cruelty to keep them locked inside 24-7 as many people do.

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Yeah you need a fenced yard. Shouldn't let them run free though either.

[@BBonez24]

I always wondered what the training process was

[@bretthumphries7911]

Nice. I did snake avoidance training with my Griffon, and a buddy's big ol tough lab. The lab jumped out of his skin, and could have cleared a high fence. My griffon kind of shrugged it off. Versatile hunting dogs are awesome. Good luck

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Kinda like how tazers and pepper spray just don't work on some people.

[@freestonsfinest4002]

I totally get why you do this and that you have to but they are in the water when they’re getting shocked… maybe that’s why she yelped soo hard. I know they will yelp when shocked on high. Hope I’m wrong. Love all the vids and the helpful info!

[@russpost2557]

So many working dogs that people don't understand.

[@michaelpawlitz3109]

Here in Michigan venomous snakes aren’t really an issue for me and my upland dog, so I’ve never felt the need to take my girl through snake avoidance training. But now that I’m considering doing some out of state bird hunting trips in the near future, I might have to bite that bullet

[@lbelew10]

Looks like you have a ton of different breeds and cross breeds, do you get specific dogs for certain prey? When your dogs retire do they become house pets or stay in the kennel?

[@moonmunster]

Great video. One of my dogs got bit by a copperhead in Aug 2022. She almost died. One of my neighbor's dogs (boxer) did die from a copperhead bite in 2022. Bit in the mouth. I had a dog many years ago who got a copperhead bite in the foot. He was fine, no issues. But rattlesnakes and water moccasins are much more dangerous. I'd like to find someone who does this so I can get my dogs trained. They are old now though. Venomous snakes are my biggest fear when taking my dogs out in warm weather. The snakes can be anywhere, even in your back yard. I've used an ecollar before but not for snakes.

[@RobertPilla]

Martin County? That's my old stomping grounds.

[@drob762]

Python how do we purchase on of these rescue dogs to come work with us in N Ga?

[@ahmadhaggi5841]

Smart man 11

[@huffy737]

The shock might have been worse with the wet paws/ standing in water/ rain. Worst shock I ever got was in wet grass. It’s also a surprise when a shock arrives from “no where” it would probably make a person yelp too. Or at least a hey, yo.

[@HELENGodLoves]

It was not a SHOCK collar. It delivers a buzz like vibration. He said it's an e collar

[@calvinh.8882]

@@HELENGodLoves E-collars do in fact shock the dog. Not as bad as some make it out, but they do in fact put out 1500-4500 volts, and for comparison, a Taser puts out 30.000-50.000 volts. The "E" in E-collar is short for Electric.

[@calvinh.8882]

The E-collar is a stand-alone system that runs on batteries, meaning it will not shock the dog worse when standing in water. The reason you got shocked worse when standing in wet grass is due to the fact that electricity from a house uses the earth as a ground, so standing on wet earth creates a much better ground.

[@lesliegriffie221]

can you trun the amount of shock down as not to cause pain

[@dresparton6603]

What type of dog is otto?

[@wuv2quilt]

My walker hound mixed with great peranese 50/50 we put bark collar on 7 and she still will let out barks. 😢

[@brianquilty687]

I'm sure most dog owners don't understand the needs of a working dog.

[@Juan-dd9hv]

What kind of dog is Otto ?

[@mirishaulson6053]

What breed is moose?

[@drlobomalo]

Do all snakes smell the same? Or close enough to the same.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

No. At least to me rattlers have a weird unique smell but I don't smell anything from rat snakes, for example.

[@Millzspec]

If you ever smell a king snake, you'll know they all have their own little smell. Those bad boys are smelly asf

[@jasnonya3005]

Moccasins smell like rotten fish to me, right before it smells like burnt gunpowder

[@mavludairgasheva4591]

Crazy eagle 45

[@h2oburke]

DD or GWP?

[@nicholassimpson8232]

The Karen's are going to love this one

[@Edward-rc5cr]

I mean, It's not the best of training in the normal sense, but these are dogs.. They don't understand some things, and as hard as it is for me to say this, It's probably the best thing you can do with a hunting dog. Like the man said, ol moose won't have a second chance. It's literally the same thing as telling your kid " don't get near the stove because you don't know how bad it can hurt you". F all the haters in the comments, don't @ m3

[@trayvon9003]

I sent a message to your email that you gave out concerning iguana hunting if the message was a turn off I understand

[@user-fb9sh7xt9d]

Clever hunter 61

[@HELENGodLoves]

You can select from functions that allow you to send either a tone, vibration, or a stimulating sensation to the dog (like a tap on the shoulder) People watch the video again... It isn't a SHOCK COLLAR I Google WHATS AN E COLLAR... 🙄

[@Ryan_honest]

Normally I always wait until the end of a video to comment if even I do at all and this might be the first time I disagree with Mike but in the beginning when moose got hit and you laughed the dog might misconstrue that and not know what to do which is just cruel on your part.

[@jamesmiracle2818]

Can’t watch this one sorry cowboy

[@Whocares.........]

Did you really need to crank it up all the way! Bullshit!😮

[@FulghumCraft]

Shock my dog like that & that will be the last thing you ever do.. Lights out! Go meet your higher power. My dog is trained very well & i did nothing like that. Thats 100% animal abuse shocking a dog like that

[@gavinhoward7946]

These are working dogs and this training could save the dogs life. Also that dog is being dramatic it doesn’t hurt that bad, I’ve felt the shock, just a sharp pinch

[@nannettehuffman8397]

Some dogs are just whimps and scream at just a little pain.

[@brucemattes5015]

*@FulghumCraft, Your comment is inappropriate and completely wrong. First of all, NO one else is going to shock YOUR dog. Only you can place the electo-shock training collar on your dog's neck. Second, whatever pain that the dog feels is only of a very limited duration and is FAR LESS painful than if the dog were to touch his/her nose to the live wire of a cattle/sheep/goat livestock electric fence, for example. I've experienced that sensation several times in my life, and it is a completely rude awakening to be shocked like that. Third, and most importantly, this IS NOT the deliberate torture and the inflicting of pain upon an animal for the sheer sake of human amusement. Instead, it's intended to provide a lesser animal who can't rationalize and reason their way through life's dangerous circumstances, and who is both a valuable asset to a business, as well as a loved member of a family, with an indelible memory that it will ALWAYS associate with the particular scent(s) of dangerous and venomous reptiles. It's LIFE SAVING training that is NO DIFFERENT from teaching a young child NOT to place their hands of the hot surface of a stove, into a live electrical outlet, or to look both ways before crossing a street with motor vehicles on it.*

[@FulghumCraft]

@@brucemattes5015 No you dont shock your kid when telling him not to touch the outlet.. let me shock you thru out the day... it only hurts for a second.. I trained my dog very well with love & treats! No shocking her!. If i seen someone in person doing this to a dog i would Immediately have a prblm with it say something & if the other person gets smart with an answer i would Immediately knock person out for animal abuse.. and fight it in court... In my eyes which is my Opinion just like you stated your Opinion i think its 100% animal abuse... More ways to train a dog other than shocking them...

[@gavinhoward7946]

@FulghumCraft You may not get a chance to fight it in court, because trying to knock someone out over dog training is a good way to get shot, especially in south Florida
