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. Sponsored by the San Diego Off Leash Meetup.
Contact Nathan at 619-734-8104 for more info and to sign up. Cost is
$75/dog. Sessions also available on Sunday, 3/16.
