Rattlesnake Avoidance Training for Dogs

While nothing is 100% effective, rattlesnake avoidance training has proven highly effective in preventing envenomation by rattlers. Using species endemic to an area, Erick Briggs of Natural Solutions trains your dog to recognize the sight, sound and scent of the snakes. By learning to avoid these sensory cues, your dog is taught to avoid the snakes. His methods are humane for both dog and snake, and an added bonus is that by paying attention to your dog's behavior, you can help avoid the snakes as well.
