J.J. Belcher, a dog trainer in Tucson, Arizona, uses an electronic training collar to teach dogs to avoid venomous snakes.

アリゾナ州ツーソンの犬のトレーナーJ.J.ベルチャー氏は電子訓練用首輪を使い犬に毒ヘビを避けるよう教えています。

Ripley, a medium-sized dog, approached a western diamondback rattlesnake that had its venom glands removed, and received an electric shock on its neck.

中型犬リプリーは毒腺を摘出されたニシダイヤガラガラヘビに近づき首に電気ショックを受けました

After that single shock, Ripley no longer went near snakes.

この一回のショックでリプリーは以後ヘビに近づかなくなりました

The owners, Amber Schneider and Wendy Timm, said they chose this training because their dog is very curious about wildlife.

飼い主のアンバー・シュナイダー氏とウェンディ・ティム氏は犬が野生動物に好奇心旺盛なためこの訓練を選んだと述べました

In the US, up to 150,000 dogs are bitten by venomous snakes every year.

米国では毎年最大15万匹の犬が毒ヘビに噛まれています

Dr. Sarah Carotenuto, an emergency vet in Arizona, treats 4 to 6 dogs every day at her Tucson hospital.

アリゾナ州の救急獣医サラ・カロテヌート博士は、ツーソンの病院で毎日4〜6匹の犬を治療しています

The survival rate for snake bites is 94% when dogs get quick treatment.

ヘビ咬傷の生存率は迅速な治療を受けた場合94%です

Treatment with antivenom and hospital care can cost several thousand dollars.

治療には抗毒素と入院で数千ドルかかる可能性があります

Dr. Carotenuto stressed that you do not need to bring in the snake that bit the dog.

カロテヌート博士は咬んだヘビを持ち込む必要はないと強調しました

Belcher says that electronic collars are the fastest and most effective training method.

ベルチャー氏は電子首輪が最も速く効果的な訓練方法だと主張しています

He has trained thousands of pets and working dogs in the western United States for over 20 years.

彼は20年以上米国西部で数千匹のペットや作業犬に訓練を行ってきました

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) does not clearly oppose electronic collars, but it asks for proper use.

米国動物虐待防止協会(ASPCA)は電子首輪に明確に反対していませんが正しい使用を求めています

Pamela Reed of the ASPCA said it is important to weigh the training benefits against the negative effects of electronic collars.

ASPCAのパメラ・リード氏は訓練の効果と電子首輪の悪影響を比較検討することが重要だと述べました

Belcher also developed an alternative program without shock collars, but no one paid the $2,500 fee.

ベルチャー氏は電子首輪を使わない代替プログラムも開発しましたが2,500ドルの費用を払う人はいませんでした。

A single visit with the collar costs $125.

首輪を使う1回の訪問は125ドルです

Another trainer, Mike Palmley, uses shock collars set to a low level and trains up to 500 dogs each year.

別のトレーナーマイク・パームリー氏は低レベルに設定した電子首輪を使い毎年最大500匹の犬を教えています

Experts advise cutting long grass in the yard, keeping dogs on a leash during hikes, and getting treatment right away after a bite.

専門家は庭の長い草を刈りハイキング中は犬をリードにつなぎ噛まれたらすぐに治療を受けるよう助言しています
