About Rattlesnake Ready

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.

My dogs would probably disagree (which is kind of the whole point), but our experience with Cody was awesome. His training was quick and effective, and tailored perfectly to each of them. I hope we never need to put it to the test, but we spend a lot of time out on the trails so it’s likely only a matter of time. I’m so relieved to know that we’ve set ourselves up the best we can thanks to Rattlesnake Ready.

We took our Golden Retriever over to see Cody after we had a couple encounters in our yard and even though he avoided them fairly well we figured getting some training on him would be beneficial. Cody did an awesome job explaining everything and working with our dog and very quickly had him knowing that rattle snakes are bad (at least to play with). Highly recommend anyone looking to get this done to give them a call. They also have an amazing exhibit there onsite with over 100 rattle snakes! Impressive place!

We are new to Arizona and going on our second year here. The first year my Husky who is a hunter🤷🏽‍♀️got bit on her nose and she was also having a reaction to the antivenom, had to back off and give her it very slowly. She also needed two doses of it and it isn't cheap by any stretch. I feel the kind caring young man here took his time to explain everything to us and took his time with our pup. Sight, sound & smell, she wasn't having any of it by the time we left. I highly recommend this business.

They did an Amazong job training my dog for rattle snake avoidance. Sight, Smell and Sound. I highly recommend the training service they offer. As I was driving home from the training my wife spotted a rattle snake on our patio. I feel much better knowing my dog has been through the training program and had very strong avoidance skills afterward.
