I use a service dog to help me on my line and when I feel well enough, a small dog team. I am a member of the trapper's association. 

The only smart thing you wrote was to carry a tool to help you release your loose dog (against the law) from a trap. The trapper's association will happily share that info to anyone. If your dog is running loose through the woods, it should have perfect recall. Otherwise it can get tangled up in a trap, with a moose or bear, a dog team or another person who has responsibly chosen to keep their dog on a leash, as required by the law.
