Did you know?

  • In the U.S., approximately 150,000 pets are bitten by venomous snakes every year.

  • Rattlesnake bites in dogs happen most often between March and October. Warm weather brings the snakes out and increases chances of encounters.

  • Many dogs get bitten by rattlesnakes within yards of their own home, instead of on hikes or camping out in the back country.

  • Dogs are usually bitten by rattlesnakes after accidentally stepping on them, or after messing with them due to the dog's natural curiosity and prey drive instincts.

  • Not all dogs are naturally afraid of snakes - training your dog to avoid snakes could be life saving!

“I attended Front Range K9 Academy's rattlesnake avoidance class with my dog, Josie, and was impressed by the professionalism of Jordan. She provided excellent instruction, communicated well, was friendly and polite, thorough, and focused on a positive outcome for my dog.”

“The Snake Avoidance training was absolutely spot on. Lots of different stimulus - sight, scent and sound. The one on one aspect was also great, no rush, plenty of time to work through it all. I highly recommend it for anyone with dogs in snake country.”
