Rattlesnake Avoidance Training For Your Dog!









Continue Reading Below For Details!
"A Rattlesnakes bite” is a major concern here in Flagstaff for dog owners. If you hike with your dog or live in a rural area, there's a good chance that you and your dogs will have a run-in at some point. Several residences have had snakes in their backyards, and a have had their dogs bitten while out and about. The cost of treatment can easily run into the thousands.
Rattlesnake aversion training has been proven safe and effective in preventing dogs from being bitten by rattlesnakes. Both the dogs and the rattlesnake are humanely treated during the training process. Puppies as young as 5-6 months up to elderly dogs will benefit from this training.

HUMANE AND APPROPRIATE HANDLING: All animals are handled humanely. The pulling of fangs is ineffective as snakes have several reserve pair that can move into place within a couple hours of removal. Suturing or gluing the snake's mouth shut is illegal and considered animal abuse. All snakes are caged for safety, and later released away from natural predators.

Training is accomplished through responsible use of a “Remote Dogtra Collar” Handling of dogs is humane yet assertive. The dogs temperament "chooses" the level of intensity used with the collar during training. The level is slowly increased until the dog responds, and under most conditions will not be elevated beyond that intensity. Good timing is far more important than level of correction. 
Dogs are bitten by rattlesnakes each year. Luckily, most victims will survive the ordeal, but many will suffer permanent tissue damage — and some will die.

When a dog is bitten, rapid swelling takes place within the first few minutes as the enzymes in the venom start to digest tissue at the bite location. Your dog’s treatment may include intravenous fluids and treatment for shock and pain; the dog may also require antivenin injections and medication for infection. Most animals will survive with quick treatment, but the best remedy for snakebite is prevention.

Snakebite tragedies are avoidable and pet owners are encouraged to follow these steps to keep their dogs safe from harm:

  • A sturdy leash and your vigilance are the best ways to ensure your pet’s safety. Loose dogs are in danger of being bitten, and so are you if your dog disturbs a snake.

  • When walking your dog, stay on open paths or trails where snakes can be more easily seen.

  • Avoid nighttime walks in desert areas, as rattlesnakes are nocturnal during most of the year.

  • If you should hear a rattlesnake, be sure to keep your dog close to you; move away from the snake as soon as you visually determine its location.

  • Should your dog seem to be unusually interested in something hidden in the brush, quickly back off until you know what it is.

  • Don’t allow dogs to explore holes in the ground or dig under logs, flat rocks or other debris where snakes may be hidden. Keep your yard clean and free of these potential hiding places to help discourage the presence of snakes.

Should a snake bite your pet, follow these steps:

  • Try to identify the snake by making note of its size, color pattern, and the presence or absence of a rattle at the end of the tail.

  • Check your dog thoroughly for bite marks — more than one wound may be present.

  • If your dog is bitten on a leg, snugly wrap a constricting band on the affected limb at a level just above the bite wound (on the body side of the wound). This band could be fashioned of a shirtsleeve or other fabric, and should be snug, but not excessively tight.

  • Keep the dog as quiet as possible and immediately transport it to the nearest veterinarian.
