MRT Rattlesnake Avoidance Training Clinic for Dogs

Mountains Restoration Trust is now taking reservations for the 2013 Rattlesnake Avoidance Training Clinic for Dogs.

Poisonous snakes are out the year round in southern California. The one-on-one training process to protect pets from the painful and sometimes fatal poisonous bite is repeated several times to ensure that the dog understands the sight, smell and sound of a rattlesnake. (Rattlesnakes have a distinctive odor that dogs can discern from other snakes).

The clinic is conducted in a safe, humane, controlled environment ensuring the safety of dogs and  rattlesnakes. As dogs forget the smell over a period of time, annual training is recommended.

Spring sessions are being held March 16-17 and April 20-21, 2013. Appointments are given after registration.  

The location is Headwaters Corner at Calabasas, 23075 Mulholland Hwy, Calabasas, CA 91302. You must pre-register online at www.mountainstrust.org. Call (818) 591-1701 ext. 2 with questions. The fee is $70. Training is conducted  by Tracy Presson of High on Kennels.
