About Partners Snake Avoidance
Partners Snake Avoidance has successfully trained over 16,000 dogs to avoid the SCENT and SOUND of a Rattlesnake for the past 16 years. It works in 3 parts. 1. We put our own equipment on your pup and use our own experienced handlers to make sure they association is objective as possible. Just between the dog and the snake. 2. We then take your dog to around to several double mesh wire cages in a desert environment, and once they recognize the scent or sound of the rattlesnake we give a very minimal "nick" on an e-collar to train a negative association. 3. At the end, we will give you a recap of what we thought of the session and will recommend a time to come back for your pup's refresher.

At the time your ready to take them out and about in the wilderness or hiking, camping etc. This training has to updated yearly.

Do you use defanged, box, or cage training? I'm getting a 6 month old heeler who will be my hiking buddy.
They use a double mesh wire cage so there is no chance the snake can get to your dog. Though, it still lets the sound and scent through! I would never go to a trainer that defangs the snakes as it can be very painful for the snake, and still potentially harm the dog. The fangs grow back:/

I took my young Shepherd in for snake avoidance training as we live near the desert and have a place up north. She is very prey driven and loves to chase lizards in the woods piles. I have to say I was a bit skeptical of the training because it was so quick but this weekend we encountered our first rattlesnake. She heard the rattle, jumped back and ran the opposite direction. Very thankful for the training, I would recommend it to anyone here in AZ especially if you live near wooded or desert areas. We will definitely be going back for refresher training. Thanks for keeping my pup safe
Outstanding staff, very professional, helpful, and our dogs liked them:) great experience! I hope we never run into a rattlesnake, but if we do, I think our boys will know what to do.
We have had 5 dogs snake trained after one was bit years ago and have not had any problems. since. They do a great job and after it's done send you an in-depth review with results and recommendations.

I took my corgi for a snake avoidance refresher. Sierra and Monica were the trainers and in addition to being very professional, they also explained every step of the process and what do expect. I'm glad I did it, because two weeks later, while we were gone, our dog sitter called to tell us that there is a big rattlesnake in the yard. She told us that the dog showed no interest in getting close to it and followed inside as she was called. That was the same day that one of our neighbor's dog was bitten by a rattlesnake and had to endure painful and expensive treatment. I attribute Coco's behavior to her recent snake avoidance training. I will do it every year.
