FirstBarkThe training lasts about 30 minutes but our dog was effectively trained to ID and avoid the rattlers within 10 minutes. This is a very safe and effective training and well worth the money.

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.

Excellent safe important training.
Cody was excellent! He explained his process clearly and concisely; then put our German shepherd, six month-old puppy through it precisely. Fortunately, she learned quickly! I highly recommend Rattlesnake Ready!
Had a two-day snake handling class here, given by the Rattlesnake Conservancy. Cody's facility is immaculate and filled with the most incredible animals! He is clearly an expert in his field.

We had our three small Havanese trained yesterday, 10/18/24. I was concerned about how it would work with small dogs but everything went very well. Cody was great to work with. He explained the training process and it went just as planned. The pups learned quickly to avoid the sight, smell, and sound of rattlesnakes. We were very impressed that Cody was as concerned for the well being of his snakes as he was for us and our dogs. I would highly recommend this training. It may be that my pups never encounter a rattlesnake since we don’t walk them off trails but in the event one finds it’s way into our yard I am confident my pups will avoid it at all costs.
