Partners Snake Avoidance has successfully trained over 16,000 dogs to avoid the SCENT and SOUND of a Rattlesnake for the past 16 years. It works in 3 parts.
1. We put our own equipment on your pup and use our own experienced handlers to make sure they association is objective as possible. Just between the dog and the snake.
2. We then take your dog to around to several double mesh wire cages in a desert environment, and once they recognize the scent or sound of the rattlesnake we give a very minimal "nick" on an e-collar to train a negative association.
3. At the end, we will give you a recap of what we thought of the session and will recommend a time to come back for your pup's refresher.

At the time your ready to take them out and about in the wilderness or hiking, camping etc. This training has to updated yearly.
Do you use defanged, box, or cage training? I'm getting a 6 month old heeler who will be my hiking buddy.
They use a double mesh wire cage so there is no chance the snake can get to your dog. Though, it still lets the sound and scent through! I would never go to a trainer that defangs the snakes as it can be very painful for the snake, and still potentially harm the dog. The fangs grow back:/

This training we received was absolutely great.
The trainers were friendly, professional, and great with Bailey.
I did not know what to expect from the training before we showed up. I thought maybe she was going to go through a bad experience.
But that could not be farther from the truth. She looked like she was having fun, probably b/c of meeting new people.
I will no longer be afraid to take her out on the trails hiking anymore.

I have a deaf dog who absolutely loves to hit the trails. I've always been nervous about him encountering a rattlesnake because he thinks everything is his friend and can't hear the rattle as a warning. When I learned it is possible to get him trained up on rattlesnake avoidance, I asked a few friends if they had any recommendations. PSA came up every time. I can't thank the friendly, knowledgeable staff for training my pup up. They took great care of him as he went through the training. Highly recommend to anyone else who wants to ensure their dog is trained to avoid rattlesnakes.

Partners is very well organized and efficient. They seem to TrueType care about the welfare of my dog. They didn’t waste any time in the training was done in less than 20 minutes. I don’t know whether it works but it does give me some peace of mind!

This is a great way to protect your dog from a snake bite! I will be scheduling my 2nd refresher. Much better pay off to prevent a bite than try to save your dog after a snake bite.
