[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We recently moved to our dream home on a heavily wooded property on the Occoquan. Tonight we found two copperheads right outside our front door, within 10 minutes of each other. Now I'm terrified for my two dogs. I've read that copperhead bites are not necessarily fatal for most dogs -- but I have a toy poodle who is only 8lbs and a mutt who is under 30lbs. I'm especially terrified for the toy poodle. We will be clearing all brush, and there are rock gardens right up against the house that will probably need to go. And we'll keep them on the leash and be especially careful at night. But aside from that -- I have read that there is snake aversion training for dogs. Apparently hunting dogs are often trained on this. Is there anywhere around the DMV to get snake avoidance training for my dogs? We are in VA, but could go anywhere. Google isn't helping me with this. Ugh. I'm not particularly phobic of snakes, but I am terrified for my dogs, especially the tiny one. [/quote] So you decided to buy a home in a rural setting that is a natural habitat for snakes and then you want to kill all of the plants and wildlife right away? You are a jerk. And a fool. BTW you probably saw a common and harmless garter snake rather than a copperhead but you are too fearful to consider that you may be wrong. [/quote]
