Rattlesnake Aversion Training for Dogs

Mountains Restoration Trust is understanding that part of environmental safety is also protecting those that enjoy the outdoors. MRT is holding a Rattlesnake Aversion Training for Dogs class Saturday August 7th and Sunday August 8th, 2010. This is a really great opportunity to protect the dogs and their owners from the potential dangers of these hot summer months. It will be taught by a highly qualified and experienced trainer and handlers. The dogs will be taught to associate the smell of a rattlesnake with correction. By doing so, a dog's avoidance behavior may also alert their owner to danger that otherwise may have caused trouble. Each training session will last 30 mins with each dog. Space is limited so reservations are required. You can register online at www.mountainstrust.org or call (818) 591-1701 ext. 2. Mountains Restoration Trust is a 501(c(|)3 nonprofit organization, a California Public Benefit Corporation To Preserve and Enhance the Natural Resources of the Santa Monica Mountains.
