FirstBarkVery impressive! Both my dogs initially ran up to the first snake like it was a toy. 15 min later they didn't want to go near sight, sound, or smell. So thankful for this training!

Arizona's #1 realistic and thorough snake avoidance training for dogs. Live, muzzled rattlesnakes are used along with other items to train your dog to avoid the scent, sight, and sound of real rattlesnakes - and we do it right in your backyard! Both clinics and in-home lessons available year around and at a very reasonable cost. Located in north Phoenix but serving the whole greater Phoenix area (and beyond!) We are extremely knowledgeable in both rattlesnakes and dogs alike. Thousands of dogs successfully trained since 2013. See website for more details.

The training went well & now we have to encounter a snake in the wild to assess how well our dog learned the lesson 😀

We had a refresher visit for our 2 dogs after an initial training 2 years ago….our dog had a few encounters with rattlers, but most recent were more curious than they should be. Definitely suggest a refresher course if you have not had any regularly in person episodes with snakes…the dogs get too comfortable and I believe it is just essential to keep this aversion to rattlesnakes alive and well after a long winter of having our guard down. The facility is TOP NOTCH and you are supporting a local family very passionate about the respect of snakes in our area and safety of our pets and education around both.
This is our second time with our New puppy and absolutely recommend this for every dog, worth every penny. Great staff and real life training.

It works! I brought my dog Rosco in for a class on 3/29/2024. I was pretty impressed with Cody’s tactics for training. With such a quick class I was curious of how well my dog would do if we had the misfortune of running into a rattlesnake. Today, 5/6/2024, we were sitting outside and I began to hear a rattle. A rattlesnake must have crawled under my outdoor rug. My dog IMMEDIATELY did anything he could to get as far as possible from the sound. He recognized what was happening just as quick as I did (if not quicker!!). I was very proud of his instant reaction and it gives me even more peace of mind knowing how effective this training is. I HIGHLY recommend this class for your dog. Thank you Cody!!
