About Professional Snake Avoidance Classes for your Dog

What they offer

Professional Snake Avoidance Classes for your Dog is run by Southwest Snake Avoidance Experts, LLC, which says rattlesnake avoidance training is its business. Classes teach dogs to curb their instinct to investigate, approach and attack snakes.

How sessions work

Classes are held at its northwest Tucson facility through the seasons, with each dog given its own 30-minute slot to avoid crowding several dogs in one place. Summer sessions run early on most Saturdays, and weekends and most holidays can be booked. Group and private sessions are available, as well as at-home classes and refresher sessions for dogs already trained there. The site says the snakes used in class are fitted with a muzzle.

Before you book

Call to reserve a slot and get directions, and ask whether Colorado River toad avoidance is available if you need it.
