Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It is unlikely that any poison on the lawn will cause any problems. I have heard of decapitated snake heads still able to release poison into a person's hand. The biggest thing would be to try and locate the head so that Cherokee does not find it and try to chew on it. I would trim the lawn very short so that you are able to find the pieces more easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
