Our Specialty
Rattlesnake Aversion Training
Teaching dogs to recognize and avoid rattlesnakes by sight, scent, and sound — across Southern California.
Book Rattlesnake TrainingWhat the training is
A focused session where your dog is introduced to real, safely handled rattlesnakes in a controlled setting, so it learns that rattlesnakes are something to stay away from.
Why owners choose it
Hikers, campers, ranch owners, hunters and families with yards in snake country want an extra layer of protection for the dogs they love.
What dogs learn
To recognize the sight, scent, and sound of a rattlesnake — and to create distance rather than investigate.
Who should consider it
Any dog that spends time on trails, in the field, at the barn, or in a Southern California backyard.
What to expect
Arrive at your appointment time with your dog on leash. Rusty works with each dog individually and walks you through what to watch for afterward.
Important: Rattlesnake aversion training is an important layer of protection, but no training can guarantee a dog will never encounter or be bitten by a snake. Owners should remain alert outdoors and contact a veterinarian immediately if a bite is suspected.
Recognize
Sight, scent and sound of a rattlesnake.
Respond
A trained avoidance response.
Avoid
Create distance instead of approaching.
