This is Kris, our purebred German Shepherd. I mainly trap coon so he likes to help dispatch.

Ernie the wonder dog and another coon early this AM...

Just got a pup how do you teach them to stay out of your set.

hate to say it but let em get in it once.

I set a trap up on edge of yard and when my GSP got close I gave him some high intensity stimulation with the e-collar. I can lay traps in truck or out on line and he will walk way around them. It is also the way dogs are trained for snake avoidance.

Gator hanging out after I made a cat set. He finally figured out what a trap feels like on his foot this weekend too. Hopefully hes a quick learner and stays out of them now. He did great riding the four wheeler around too.

Good looking pup!!

Nice looking female SoDaker

What kind of gun is that SoDaker? Looks sharp!

Built for feed not speed.Meanest thing you've ever seen if he's thinks he's not in harms way.

These dogs (Rusty and Boone) sure showed me a TON and sure are missed a ton as well........oh, the times we had together.

Tons of stories........one of favorites: I removed the back seat from my truck and the dog rode down low under a shelf I built in the back where the back seat was......for guns, ammo, binos, lunch and the other 1000 things we carry trapping. A piece of hog panel was attached between the two bucket seats and they could stick their heads through to get a pat on the head or a snack from ol' Dad.

Throughout the course of a day, they'd hear me talking to people outside of my truck.....farmers, hired hands, etc. Paid NO attention to it.....

BUT, if I'd go through a drive-window for a coffee or a burger, they'd hear the voice on the speaker and their tails would start going a million miles an hour......thump thump thump thump......because they knew they were getting a burger or snack for themselves!

I'd pull up to speaker and the person would say......"Can I help you?" and the tails would commence! Not sure if it was the sound through the speaker being different OR if they could smell the restaurant or both, but it was fun to see play out every time!

Oh, if I'd pull up to a coyote in a trap and "woof" them up, the tails would do the same, but they'd start whining and whimpering too, so I assume they liked battling with coyotes more than Scooby Snacks!

They’re both Remington 700s.

Now that is my kinda dog!
