Rattlesnake Avoidance

RATTLESNAKE

AVOIDANCE

Love hitting the trails with your dog but worried about encountering a venomous snake?

Rattlesnake Avoidance Training helps keep you both safe so you can enjoy your time together outdoors throughout the year.

Using only progressive, Positive-Reinforcement methods, you and your dog will gain important skills, behaviors, and information to protect her from snakes and other common hazards.

We do not use shock or live rattesnakes in our training.

Over the course of five private sessions, you’ll learn:

Information on snake behavior and habitat

Management of your environment

How to safely move away from a snake

How to avoid rattlesnakes using visual and auditory cues

How to train and use critical behaviors and techniques like: Leave It, Come When Called, Stay/Wait, Redirection, Safe Restraint

How to strengthen these new behaviors in different environments such as the mountains, the desert, and the beach.

RATTLESNAKE
AVOIDANCE

For: Puppies or Adults
Length: 5 one-hour private sessions  | Cost: $650 

Sessions take place in your yard or at an outdoor training area in Escondido, and can be personalized to your needs and lifestyle. You have time to practice between sessions and ask any questions you may have. To ensure safety, we never use live snakes or aversive methods (like shock or “vibration” collars).

Best of all, you receive continued support throughout the year via email, text, or phone. And the skills you learn will be just as useful at home as they are on the trail!

Let’s Get Started!

“The Rattlesnake Avoidance Training with Lynn was SO helpful for me and my one year old lab. Lynn’s techniques made sense for increasing my dog’s responsiveness to me in a crisis situation – rattlesnake or otherwise. I have noticed so much benefit on our daily hikes in general with knowing these commands. In addition, I didn’t grow up in the area, so it was also a helpful Rattlesnake 101 course for me!”

–Susie Morgan, Rancho Sante Fe
