Rattlesnake Avoidance Training for Dogs

I'm hosting this for my Dog Hiking Meetup, http://www.meetup.com/San-Diego-Off-Leash-Meetup/events/220445810/, but the public is welcome to join. The cost is $75 per dog. You can contact me at 619-734-8104 for more information.
If you hike with your dog or live in a rural area, or even near a canyon in a more developed part of town, there's a good chance that you and your dogs will have a run-in with a rattler at some point. While nothing is 100% effective, rattlesnake avoidance training has proven highly effective in preventing envenomation by rattlers. Using species endemic to an area, Erick Briggs of Natural Solutions trains your dog to recognize the sight, sound and scent of the snakes, thereby avoiding them.
