Rattlesnake Avoidance Training for your dog
Sorry, this year's clinic is full
Patrick Callaghan’s Rattlesnake Avoidance Training is a safe and proven method to teach your dog to avoid the danger of being bitten by a rattlesnake. Patrick trains each dog to respond with aversion to the scent, sound and sight of a rattlesnake. Patrick uses a remote collar that does not shock the dog but instead stimulates a muscle contraction (much like physical therapists use). Training is conducted in a controlled environment, thus ensuring the safety of your dog(s) as well as the safety of the muzzled and defanged rattlesnakes used in the training.
Training will be conducted by appointment ONLY and pre-registration is required. Times will be assigned on a first come basis so send in your reservation and check early.
Hi Liz-
Just wanted to let you know how glad we are that we took Huckleberry to your Rattlesnake Avoidance Clinic last month. It really paid off yesterday as he saw, barked, avoided and alerted me to a big ole diamond back in our garden-YIKES!!!!!
I am sorry to say we killed it- but, we have dogs and kids and us back there all of the time and cannot take a chance.
Anyway-THANK YOU- I know the clinic saved us a very expensive trip to the vet and more importantly a lot of pain and trauma for our pup.
