FirstBarkWonderful service and training. Cody was very good with the us, our dog Reata, and the snakes. We arrived about 15 mins late due to an address error. He was patient with us and got us through the process without rushing. Thank you

Terrific facility, trainer, and real (muzzled) snakes. 30 minutes, $200, and my Aussie can bound free and even nose into gopher holes without me worrying about a venomous encounter. It’s almost magic. :-)
Just had our two doodles trained and I can safely say they will NOT go any where near a ratteler.
Such a phenomenal experience. The facility is extremely clean and modern, Cody was great with my dog and my dog was fearing snakes after just a couple of minutes. Thanks to rattlesnake ready we feel ready to take on any trail with confidence. More than worth the $$$.

If you’re a dog owner in the area I couldn’t recommend Rattlesnake Ready more - especially if you have an outdoor pup. Cody was extremely knowledgeable and has the training down to an exact science. He starts at the lowest collar setting to ensure the shock isn’t too much and he adjusted to the perfect setting for my dog. She’s 9 months old and my no means tough, but the shock was just powerful enough for her to get the message to stay away from the snake but light enough to not ruin her morning. The simulation is as close to real as you can get and safe. They use live rattlesnakes and muzzle them to ensure they can’t strike. The training was quick and effective. By the end, Millie knew to keep her distance and was exposed to the snake’s sight, smell, and rattle. We can now walk her with piece of mind knowing if she senses a snake, she’ll stop in her tracks to avoid getting closer.
