Shock Free Snake Safety

Snakes and other harmful desert critters pose significant risks to your pet’s well-being. Equipping yourself and your dog with effective strategies to avoid these dangers is paramount. Building Bonds specializes in private training sessions designed to teach behaviors that enable swift avoidance of potential threats while keeping your dog focused on you, even in highly distracting environments. These skills are indispensable for safeguarding any pet residing in desert areas.

Conventional snake avoidance training often relies on shock collars, administering shocks to dogs upon encountering snakes. Despite claims of effectiveness, many trainers advocate for annual retesting, subjecting dogs to repeated shocks. This raises concerns about the necessity of shock and retesting if the initial training is supposed to be sufficient.

In contrast, our shock-free snake training utilizes humane methods to cultivate safety skills when facing snakes. This approach can be practiced year-round, eliminating the need for shock or other aversive techniques. While it requires dedication and patience, investing time and effort is invaluable in ensuring your dog’s safety.

Note: We have discontinued group classes for snake safety. However, if you gather a group of three or more individuals, we are happy to organize a group session for you and your friends/family.
