SPECIAL EVENT: Snake Aversion Training Class

**Snake Aversion Training Class for Dogs

Join us for a professionally guided snake aversion training designed to help lower the risk of potential rattlesnake encounters and bites. This is a valuable safety exercise for dogs who hike, walk trails, explore open space, or spend time outdoors in Southern California.

We will have a professional snake handler on site with many years of experience managing controlled training sessions safely and responsibly.

How the training works
• Dogs will go one at a time through the course
• Each dog will be fitted with a specialized e collar used only during the training exercise
• Owners will personally walk their own dog through the course near each snake under guidance
• The goal is to teach avoidance behavior when your dog detects a snake

Training course includes
• 6 different rattlesnake species
• All snakes will be muzzled and under the direct control of the professional handler throughout the event

Scheduling
• We will stagger arrival times to minimize waiting
• Each dog will take approximately 15 minutes
• Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your scheduled time

Rules for safety and flow
• All dogs must remain on leash at all times
• Please maintain space from other dogs
• No on leash greetings during the event
• Follow all handler instructions promptly
• Out of respect for the trainer’s privacy and professional request, please do not post videos of the training online or on social media

Questions and communication
• I am creating an Instagram group chat for attendees to ask questions and receive updates
• If you do not use Instagram, you can message me directly through Meetup with any questions

Cost
• $150 per dog
• Venmo @realdogbox to reserve your spot
• Space is limited and your place is confirmed once payment is received

This is an excellent opportunity to invest in practical prevention and give your dog an added layer of outdoor safety.
