Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
We just took you avoidance class, and I forgot to ask you about the Rattlesnake Vaccine. What do you think of it, and who administers it in the Reno/Sparks area? Thanks.
We wanted to update the previous answer: the newest research indicates that the Rattlesnake Vaccine is ineffective and no longer recommended. You can find the study here: https://www.snakebitefoundation.org/blog/2023/6/13/veterinary-experts-do-not-recommend-the-rattlesnake-vaccine

Hello, thank you for reaching out. If you are an avid outdoorsman, we definitely believe the rattlesnake vaccine is helpful in keeping your dog safe. Many vets offer it locally including Baring Boulevad, Kreature Komforts and Klaich. There may be more but those are the ones we are personally familiar with.

Started off with a scared "puppy pony" who wouldn't join the rest of her puppy preschool class and preferred to stay under the benches for the majority of her classes. After 2 6 week classes I am proud to say Ms. Clementine Jane is no longer my baby fraidy Dane. By her graduation day she had so much more confidence, was playing with her classmates and new her basic commands! Sarah is so patient and knowledgeable I can't thank her enough for helping my puppy find her stride!
Enjoyed the classes. Highly recommend for anyone with a pup and coco too was satisfied with the experience. Thank you very much for this opportunity!

Recently my dog Windy and I completed the Rattlesnake Avoidance class. Not less than 2 weeks went by and we encountered a 3 foot Rattlesnake on our regular walk! The knowledge and training from class really worked! I was able to read my dog's cue and completely remain calm and avoid the snake. My dog also listen and responded just like in class. I highly recommend the class for owner and dog! Thanks Dogz!

If you're a new pet owner and you don't know where to start with dog training, Sarah will walk you through it the right way the first time. During an average class, you can expect to learn a bunch of tips and tricks from training related questions that come up from other students. This, to me, has been one of the biggest benefits of training with Sarah. She's able to give one-on-one attention to individual needs in a classroom setting without missing a beat. Thanks Sarah!
