Service Description

Rattlesnake Training – Group Class (6 Weeks) Held in Parker, Colorado Join me for this unique 6-week group class where we teach dogs rattlesnake avoidance using reward-based methods! This course is designed to keep both dogs and humans safe by turning the sight, scent, and sound of a rattlesnake into cues for a reliable recall and alert behavior. You’ll also learn about snake safety, rattlesnake behavior, and how to build clear, structured communication with your dog in the presence of snake-related stimuli. Unlike traditional aversive-based methods, this course does not rely on e-collars or fear. Pain-based rattlesnake training can backfire - causing fear, confusion, or even panic when your dog encounters a snake in real life. Instead, we focus on helping your dog remain clear-headed and connected to you during potentially dangerous situations. Optional online access is available for participants who want additional content outside of class. This is not required, and all materials are covered in person. Online access is only available as an add-on at the time of booking and cannot be purchased separately. Please note: Group classes require at least 2 participants. If fewer than 2 are enrolled 48 hours before the start date, the class might be rescheduled and a new date offered.
