FirstBarkI am relieved to have taken my dog to Partner's Rattlesnake training. It is a peace of mind knowing this could save my pets life. The handlers are very professional and treat your pet like family....will be going back!!!...Snake proofing is essential living in Arizona.

Cave Creek, Arizona
About Partners Snake Avoidance
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:/

Last April, our dog, who was about a year and a half old was bitten by a Mohave Rattler. She'd been chasing a bunny that went into some rosemary and they surprised eachother. We don't think she even knew what it was that got her. We'd been planning on taking her to Partners, but hadn't made the appointment. Fortunately she recovered fully with just a scar on her snout. We took her a few weeks later and she did great! We've taken her back for a refresher last December and are scheduling her next refresher now. With it getting warmer, the snakes are starting to come out. It's so worth it!! Thank you, Partners!!
The Best Investment you can make for your best friend. Very calm atmosphere. River Blue says Thank You All,,,,,
Awesome staff and easy process. Very well worth it!
Great training and so important in Arizona. Our two olders dogs went through Partners snake avoidance and they still do great. Just tonight a rattle snake was in our yard. 1 year old Gus was very curious. The other two trained to avoid, went the other way and never went back to that area od the yard. Gus is going to trainjng ASAP.
