Here is a picture of my mentor, Web Parton, training my dog, Brandy, back in 2014. He was supposed to retire years ago, but his passion for working with dogs has kept him from doing so. If you know Web or share the passion for keeping dogs safe from rattlesnakes, he needs your help to start doing work in his new home state of Oregon. If you could take a moment to write a brief email of support for his work to the commissioners of Oregon Fish and Wildlife it would be much appreciated. The email must be submitted by July 16. The addresses to send emails to are as follows- [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. Thank you so much for your time

Why rattlesnake aversion training? You will be able to put your mind at ease whether you are playing or working with your canine in rattlesnake terrain. Typically, upon seeing and/or hearing a rattlesnake in the wild, a dog’s first instinct is to approach it for further investigation with it’s

Please do your research when picking out a rattlesnake aversion training for your dog. A dog cannot learn to avoid rattlesnakes in 15 minutes. I have had dogs who have taken classes like this walk right up to my rattlesnake and put their nose on it like they had never seen one before. There is a reason why my classes are 3-4 hours. I work the training in layers and make sure that the dogs will remember the training for the rest of their lives. Feel free to reach out to me for more information.

I am asked all of the time when we will start seeing rattlesnakes on the trails here in the Salt Lake valley. There are always exceptions to the rule, but rattlesnakes typically start becoming most active when the temps are consistently in the 70’s. They are unable to digest food efficiently if it is too cold outside. It looks like we may be hitting 70 in the valley this week, so we might see rattlesnakes start poking their heads out in the middle of the day. Most likely we won’t see them very active for about a month or so.

People ask me if there is a different aversion class I can recommend for their dog when they are unable to book with me. Here's a picture I took of a dog who went through a different rattlesnake aversion class than mine. She was very interested in my rattlesnake throughout the class up until the end. It was like she had never seen one before. I was happy to take care of her and feel confident that she will never want to get near a rattlesnake again
