About Rattlesnake Ready
Arizona's #1 realistic and thorough snake avoidance training for dogs. Live, muzzled rattlesnakes are used along with other items to train your dog to avoid the scent, sight, and sound of real rattlesnakes - and we do it right in your backyard! Both clinics and in-home lessons available year around and at a very reasonable cost. Located in north Phoenix but serving the whole greater Phoenix area (and beyond!) We are extremely knowledgeable in both rattlesnakes and dogs alike. Thousands of dogs successfully trained since 2013. See website for more details.

I cannot thank Cody and Kate enough for their training. I have a massive snake phobia and a very curious boxer pup. Last summer Cody trained Bo to know their scent, sound and then used a couple of various size rattlesnakes to make sure Bo knew without a doubt to avoid them. We returned this spring for a refresher and Bo knew to steer clear. I am so grateful for the training Will and Kate provide, at the expense of their own safety, in order to help our dogs stay safe. Cannot recommend them enough and thanking God for the work you do and praying for your safety!

Cody was extremely knowledgeable and professional in the training of three Keeshond to avoid rattlesnakes all together. One of our dogs was very paranoid about being in a foreign place. Cody was great to help all our fur kids feel comfortable with the environment so the training could commence. We came from San Diego for a visit to Scottsdale and were glad we came to Cody’s facility to teach our dogs how to avoid all rattlesnakes. Thanks again for each of the training scenarios. We highly recommend all dog owners who have possible snake encounters to use his services.
It's safe to say that Ripley is not fond of snakes! We attended the rattlesnake aversion class with her yesterday. Cody is amazing, patient, and thorough. The grounds are pristine and ALL the animals look very well cared for. For anyone in Arizona, I highly recommend Rattlesnake Ready!
Rattlesnake Ready has a friendly, amazing staff, very informative and we now feel very confident our dog knows what to look out for through smell and sound. Thank you 😊!!
