Safety around Snakes

It is always good to familiarize yourself with the snakes of Arizona. Knowing which snakes are dangerous and which are harmless can mean life or death to your pet.

Here are two great websites to learn more about the snakes of Arizona:

Another great way to protect your pet is to teach them to avoid dangerous snakes altogether. With snake avoidance training you can train your dog to avoid the tempting rattle of an Arizona rattlesnake!

Why should you be worried about a rattlesnake bite? If your dog lives, after being bit, the cost of treating a rattlesnake bite can be well over $1000. It's better to avoid this altogeter and train your pet to avoid rattlesnakes!
Avoidance training uses live, de-fanged snakes to insure no injury to you or your K-9. They first work with the scent of the secured snake. Then the visual, and then the sound (natural rattle). Then they go back and do it all again to make sure that all of the senses of the dog associate the snake as danger!
