I wouldn't be all that happy with my Dog sticking his head in one while hunting the thick covers.
Just for the record battue...domestic dogs generally won't fight a snare like wild animals will....I've caught my Cur dog in my own snares while running my trap line several times....once caught she just sets there and waits for me to come and let her loose.....I wouldn't want to leave her in one overnight but when you're close by like running a line or bird hunting there really isn't that much danger......
That's not to say that snares aren't dangerous because they are and should only be used in the right places by experienced hands but as usual....there's two sides to every story....
Don't take my word for it though....there's lots of information out there that will confirm what I'm saying if you care to look for it....
