I also encourage my class participants to join our Facebook group at This group is designed to provide a forum for: Graduates of my Force Free Snake Avoidance Program, those that have purchased my book on "Force Free Snake Avoidance Training", professional dog trainers that are truly interested in adding a Force Free class to their training program, shelter workers, and pet owners that want information on how to keep dogs safer when they encounter snakes without the use of shock collars and or live rattlesnakes.

For this reason, I give decoy snakes to take home, I conduct follow-up consultations (free of charge) and offer discount refresher courses. Practice, practice, practice as with any training is the key. We focus on teaching that snakes - all snakes - live, dead, poisonous or non-poisonous are to be avoided! However, we do not focus on rattlesnakes or live snakes.

Our training program uses decoy snakes, (rubber snakes) that have been placed in with live snakes to absorb the habitat’s odor, plus dead snakes that have been preserved and donated to us, shed snake skins, and the audio recording of rattlesnakes.

Our 2 hr session is packed full of info and it’s not all for the dogs! Information and instruction on: Types of snakes that are indigenous to your geographical area, how to help “snake proof” your yard, what to and not to do, in case of a snake bite, information on snake bite vaccinations, how to use your body language and verbal cues to instill a sense that snakes = danger, how to read your dog’s body language to determine what he/she is sensing during the session and so much more.

What happens during one of our program sessions? I say this because even if you don’t walk your dog on nature trails, snakes can, and often do, invade people’s yards where dogs can come in contact with them. This is what we refer to as “Force Free.”Įvery dog owner, shelter worker, and dog foster care provider, and their dogs can benefit from Force Free Snake avoidance training. Our program provides snake avoidance training without the use of adverse training tools such as prong collars, shock collars or physical molding, pulling on the dog’s leash (corrections) or dragging the dog. If you answered yes to any of the above then I encourage you to keep reading.
