[Home](https://www.centralpetaz.com) - [Training](https://www.centralpetaz.com/training) - Snake Avoidance Arizona is home to several venomous creatures, including 13 species of rattlesnakes alone. As a resident and a dog owner, you know how dangerous it can be to encounter one of these animals on a trail hike, or perhaps even in your own backyard. Because your dog is inquisitive by nature, it’s important that you’re both prepared should a situation arise where you have to react. This is why [snake avoidance training](https://www.centralpetaz.com/blog/need-know-snake-avoidance-training) is such a good idea. By training your dog an avoidance behavior in response to the detection of the scents and smells of rattlesnakes, he or she will become a personal alarm system to their presence, which can help you both avoid a potentially dangerous situation. [![Request Attendance](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/4874588/5319cbfa-df3f-4f3f-b4a8-da5426940b63.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/4874588/5319cbfa-df3f-4f3f-b4a8-da5426940b63) ## What to Expect To provide the most effective [dog training](https://www.centralpetaz.com/training) on rattlesnake avoidance in Arizona, Central Pet has partnered with [Animal Experts, Inc.](https://www.animalexpertsinc.com/) to offer a 15-minute training session that could save your dog’s life. ![animalexpertsinc](https://www.centralpetaz.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CentralPet_July2021/images/animalexpertsinc.png?width=225&name=animalexpertsinc.png) Our goal is to provide a safe, controlled, and authentic training experience for your dog, which includes: - Learning to recognize (and avoid) rattlesnakes by sight, sound, and scent to prepare them for the many ways in which they might encounter the deadly reptiles - Walking through a short course that will allow them to come upon snakes in different settings and give them the opportunity to react accordingly (all snakes on-site are muzzled and with a handler) To ensure your dog is successful, E-collars are used for this training session. *As a reminder, this class cannot be taken the same day as a toad avoidance training class. * ### 2025 Snake Avoidance Dog Training Sessions  #### August Sessions - Saturday August 23, 7:00am-10:00am #### September Sessions - Saturday, September 20, 7:00am-10:00am You can also request attendance to this class by calling us directly at [(520) 882-7577](tel:5208827577).
