My 2 labs have started chasing “game” while on walks. What could we do to stop this?

Full Question:
I have two beautiful three year old labs. They are not trained except for the basic commands. I walk them in an open mesa area near my home every morning. The problem is they have begun not only chasing young rabbits, but when they do catch one they pick it up and clamp down, thus causing internal organ damage, which of course kills the rabbit. I am a nature lover and very upset by this behavior! I have thought of getting a shock collar and using this devise to get them to quit chasing the rabbits when they get too close. Do you have any thought on this??



Thanks,
Judy

If they were my dogs I would get a shock collar. The Tri Tronics Collar is the cheapest but has short range - Tri Tronics also makes a 2 dog model on some of their collars - this means that you can have collars on 2 dogs and shock them independently from one transmitter.
