This is the perfect place to go if you want your pup to learn rattlesnake avoidance. The trainer knew his stuff was effective and made sure that the dog saw, heard, or smelled the snake before correction was applied. He also explained the training and made us as the owner effective parts of the training

Two of my dogs bullmastiff Dexter and Old English Bulldogge Bruno got bit by a baby rattlesnake. Very stressful and very expensive emergency situation. They are well and recovered, my wallet still recovering…. We got recommendation when leaving emergency hospital to go through rattle snake avoidance training , to protect our 4 legged babies from potential future encounter and injury. Rattlesnake Ready , the instructor/ owner did amazing job , training my guys in less than an bour to avoid snakes period. I was scared, sceptical… but now I feel great I completed this training. I know my boys are so much safer this way. Thank you so much Cody , for doing such and amazing job training my dogs! As a pet parent I would strongly encourage everyone to go through this. It can save your dogs life and save you a lot of money. Great facility, training area, all together 10 stars !!!! thank you!!!!!

Well worth your time and money to help protect your dogs. The process was efficient and effective. Cody was thorough in explaining each step of the process; the what, how, and why of every step. The facility and property are stunning, and the training area perfectly simulates the type of areas we like to explore on a regular basis. Our dogs got the point quickly... rattlesnakes (their sight, sound, and smell) = a bad time. We left with some piece of mind that we will all have a higher level of respect for our area's natural inhabitants.
Great experience for my 1yo boy, he wants nothing to do with snakes or that rattle sound after this experience. Played a rattle snake sound outside in a bush about a month later and he immediately went back inside the house.
Professional, effective, and so worth the cost! I tried rattlesnake training with my mini goldendoodle last spring with a different trainer and it didn’t go well despite 2 redo’s.

Professional, effective, and so worth the cost! I tried rattlesnake training with my mini goldendoodle last spring with a different trainer and it didn’t go well despite 2 redo’s. I was referred to Rattlesnake Ready by a snake wrangler and upon reading Cody’s website, I knew this would be a better experience. I opted to rent the dummy e-collar prior to my training and that made a huge difference. My dog was able to get used to the collar ahead of the training which made a HUGE difference in my dog being able to focus and learn during the session. Cody’s facility is immaculate— clean, safe, organized, impressive, professional. His 4-step training process was very effective with my dog, and I was able to participate in the training which also helped it be more effective. I learned so much, I feel very confident that my pup understands the danger of rattlesnakes now, and I look forward to keeping her training up with annual refreshers. Thanks, Cody!
