In-home dog training in Cave Creek, Arizona

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.

At Sit Happens, we teach foundational obedience to puppies and beyond. We also help dogs with behavioural issues achieve the balance they need to live happily with their families. We welcome all breeds. Our balanced, leadership-based methods are proven to be the most effective. Once your dog has learned new and better skills, it is your turn to learn how to properly guide your pup. We will teach you the tools you need to become an awesome pack leader.

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.

Programs include behavior consultation, canine good citizen preparation and leash training.
