Rattlesnake Avoidance Classes
Rattlesnakes are prevalent in our area and were out in abundance this season. Because they are camouflage hunters a lot of people and pets who are bitten never see the snake until it’s too late. Most dogs smell a rattlesnake well before they see or hear it. Rattlesnake Avoidance Training helps your dog identify the danger and know to AVOID it. Rattlesnake bites can be deadly if quick treatment is not obtained. This treatment includes antivenin and is extremely costly to the owner. The bruising and subsequent skin sloughing that often occurs after a rattlesnake bite is very painful and requires additional veterinary treatment.
At Yorba Regional Animal Hospital we want to help you protect your dogs before they encounter a rattler. We now offer Rattlesnake Avoidance Classes periodically throughout the year. Classes are offered through trainer Richard (Andy) Andrews. Andy has over 15-years of Rattlesnake Avoidance Training experience and has trained thousands of both hunting dogs and family pets. The cost of our classes is $65 per dog and they are limited to 25 dogs per day. If you would like more information please contact Carol Petyo at (714) 921-8700
CLASSES WILL RESUME IN THE SPRING. THE DATE WILL DEPEND ON THE WEATHER AND TIME FRAME WHEN RATTLESNAKES BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN. PLEASE CALL IN MARCH FOR MORE INFORMATION. ALL ACTIVE CLIENTS WHO HAVE SUPPLIED US WITH THEIR EMAIL WILL RECEIVE NOTICE OF UPCOMING CLASSES.
