All three of mine will catch and kill rabbits. Two of them (farmcollies)
will kill the rabbits instantly but the third (lab/shepherd) plays with
them until they die. If one of the collies catches him doing this they'll
take the rabbit away, kill it and leave it for him. We've had him 7 1/2
years and I've never been able to break him of playing. I don't think it's
in his nature to outright kill something.

Is anyone using dogs for control of rabbits? How does one train a dog to
kill the rabbits once the dog finds them? It seems as most of the dogs I
have seen around rabbits just chase them around. The rabbits seem to have
the upper hand.

I set traps. I've caught squirrels, mice, a shrew, voles and my husband.
Thankfully he had his boots on. =) The cat catches her share and the dogs
catch more than I see because they sometimes eat them.
