FirstBarkSo Happy with The Snake School! After a close encounter with a rattlesnake on the trail near our home, we had been worried about our dog Barley’s safety; also being off-leash much of the time. We are now confident that Barley is prepared to avoid a rattlesnake should an encounter happens in the future. Thank you Snake School :)

We love Snake School! This was Gracie’s refresher course, and if we had known about it the first time, we definitely would have started here. There is no comparison to our first experience elsewhere, which was just a backyard setup with a few boxes and live snakes, nothing close to real-life conditions. Snake School takes you out into real field environments, like actual hiking situations, which makes a huge difference. We trained together the way it’s meant to be done…no handing off to a handler, just real teamwork and response. Gracie stayed engaged with me the entire time, and we both felt calm and confident afterward. I 100% recommend Snake School!

Both Shane and Scott are two of the nicest guys imaginable. My dogs took to them right off and the training is exceptional. Both my dogs are older so their senses do not allow them to respond to all the stimuli right away but I was blown away by the way Shane and Scott adapted the training to give them the best protection possible. I can't recommend this training highly enough and it's an absolute pleasure to give them this five star review.
The snake school was a great experience for our 4 dogs. The handlers were gentle and calm, walking the dogs through the different stations and reworking the stations that they showed some signs of struggle with. All 4 dogs passed the course and it was clear they wanted to avoid the snakes!
