[quote=Anonymous]I live in Arizona and there are a lot of rattlesnakes around, obviously. We’ve had a dog for years and no issues with the dog and snakes.

Things that work for us and I would recommend: fenced backyard with added snake fencing (for us, the snake fencing is just part of the backyard gates as we have a solid wall). You can google it & see what I mean. We have never had a snake in the backyard and I would definitely recommend the snake fencing- it is not expensive or unsightly. We do get snakes in the front yard all the time but our dog does not go in the front yard unsupervised and is always leashed when walking through. Trim all shrubs, bushes etc up and away from the ground to reduce hiding places. Don’t allow dog to sniff under bushes etc on walks especially if you cannot see fully underneath. We generally walk in well traveled areas (where snakes don’t hang out).

Our dog has actually never done the rattlesnake training but understands and obeys “leave it” command very well. We haven’t had any problems so have not bothered.  [/quote]
