Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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: https://www.snakebitefoundation.org/blog/2023/6/13/veterinary-experts-do-not-recommend-the-rattlesnake-vaccine

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.

We have a hyper pup and he loves to socialize with other pups! The doggy playtime is great for him and the trainers there are always great and willing to let you pick their brains on stuff
We have tried 3 different trainers and this is easily the best. Sarah is great with dogs and wonderful to work with.

We met Sarah from Dogz a few years ago for our pit who was doing some food resource guarding. She helped us resolve that challenge. We have adopted a Malinois mix who has been a challenge. At points I was worried we made a mistake bringing her into our family, but we believe that when you bring a pet into your home they are part of the family. Dogz has helped us learn how to be the right family for Lucy and helped us find the wonderful dog Lucy is.

I took my little rescue dog to training because he was barking and lunging at other dogs on our walks and bit one of my friends. I live in an apartment and was distraught over the thought that I may lose my little companion! Sarah helped me understand WHY my dog was doing those things and helped us find the best way to fix it. I was amazed - I took 1 private class and 1 group class and now Axel is GREAT in public, no more annoying barking and when he does get off a bark or two, we can just tell him to look at us and sit and he immediately stops! Thank you so much, Dogz!!
