What people have asked about this business.
We just took you avoidance class, and I forgot to ask you about the Rattlesnake Vaccine. What do you think of it, and who administers it in the Reno/Sparks area? Thanks.
We wanted to update the previous answer: the newest research indicates that the Rattlesnake Vaccine is ineffective and no longer recommended.
You can find the study here:

Hello, thank you for reaching out. If you are an avid outdoorsman, we definitely believe the rattlesnake vaccine is helpful in keeping your dog safe. Many vets offer it locally including Baring Boulevad, Kreature Komforts and Klaich. There may be more but those are the ones we are personally familiar with.

This lady is very nice and she definitely knows dog behavior. But the class that she suggested for my dog which is one that we’ve already accomplished and was a waste of money. Which, by the way, I didn’t finish out all sessions and I asked for my money back because it really wasn’t helping him and not only was it not helping him, but her warehouse is a freaking oven in the summertime and I don’t know how anybody can stand to sit in there. What my dog needed was reactivity training, instead of wasting $180 to sit at the end of her HOT warehouse trying to do the same commands that he already knows how to do. I tried nicely to ask her for my money back and was hoping she would just take the hint that I don’t want to train with her, but I still have yet to receive my money.

They dogs have a great time playing and socializing for a while at 1st then they settle down to pay attention. The teaching there is great, they come around and help everyone individually on top of instructing the group

Our 6 month puppy graduated puppy kindergarten and we loved our trainer so much, we continued the training and enrolled him in Canine kindergarten. Which he graduated today. Our Floki loves Sarah so much and listens to her and knows she is the teacher with the treats and must behave if he wants them. We have been so pleased with this training. No E collars or anything that would harm our boy in the process of him learning. I'm a bit bummed to read one of the comments from our class and how they gave a 1 star review. We were in class with them and it was a training lesson and the man didn't want to listen and just drag that poor dog around and yell at him. Don't listen to that review. We are so pleased with the training, that we are enrolling our boy in Canine high in October with Sarah. We hope when our Floki boy is all done with training we can still bring him by to see his favorite teacher. Thank you, Sarah, for being so dedicated in helping all the rescue dogs learn and be wonderful companions. You truly are a blessing to our community and we appreciate you so much. 🫶🐾

We just participated in the rattlesnake avoidance class. It was educational, insightful, well organized and excellent on all levels. Sarah, and her assistants communicated clearly and were very patient. This class was worth every penny and more!!!
