Like water in my boots said The closer the dog is to the edge of the pan notch the less movement that is required to fire the trap.
That is why I use a night latch on mine . Go to the archives and search it out in the land trapping section .

Object of know weight place on set trap pan. Trap fires, pan tension is less that what the weight is. Make sure the object is soft enough to not damge trap jaws.

Does travel matter if you are relying on "commitment to working the set".
I have to deal with small dogs like "poms" and "chias" running loose. STOP, I have already spoken to the owners and "cautioned" them but I just don't want the hassle of watching the little girl next door cry when they get caught so pan tension is set so they can walk on it and not trip.
So it's "No Digging", "No Catch".

That is why i put it in a link. People will more freely click it if they aren't offended first. It is an excellent reference.
