Thanks and I felt the same way before but if you ever try it just take it step by step, get them used to the command leave it then get them comfortable with having a snake near them and eventually on them while giving them high value rewards for leaving it, in this case a high value reward for my dog was lunch meat like ham. And most important keep an eye on your dog and snake. this snake is the only one I'd actually use for this because he's the my calmest one I have
