What to Expect

🕐
Arrive 10 Minutes Early
Check in at the gate, sign your waiver, and get a quick orientation. Arriving a few minutes early keeps the class running smoothly for everyone.
🦮
What to Bring
Your dog on a standard flat leash (no retractable), proof of current vaccinations, and water for your pup. We'll handle everything else.
⏱️
Plan for 30–60 Minutes
Each dog runs a full 12-station course. Total time on-site depends on group size — plan for up to an hour.
👀
Walk the Course
You walk the entire 12-station course alongside your dog and our trainer. It's a hands-on experience — you're right there for every step.
🐍
Live Snakes, Zero Risk
All rattlesnakes are handled exclusively by our professional snake handlers and contained at every moment. Your dog is never in danger of being bitten.
🏅
Guaranteed Results
If your dog doesn't show clear avoidance by session's end, we'll invite them back for a complimentary follow-up — no questions asked.
Pricing

Simple, Transparent Pricing.

We know our prices aren't the lowest — and that's because we provide more for you. Our 12-station course spends significantly more time with your dog, proofing each sense individually. That level of conditioning takes longer, and it's something you simply won't get from a $150 course.

You're getting what you pay for — either a rattlesnake training that might help your dog, or the training that absolutely maximizes your dog's chances of avoiding rattlesnakes. If you're going to do this for your dog, do it right — book the better course.

Booking FAQs

How do I book a spot?
Select a date and time slot above. You'll be prompted to complete payment securely through Stripe.
Can I bring more than one dog?
Yes — book a separate spot for each dog. Each runs their own full 12-station course, so plan on extra time if you're bringing multiple dogs.
What's the cancellation policy?
Life happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule, contact us as soon as possible and we'll do our best to accommodate you in an upcoming class.
Is Lebec far?
Lebec is about 60 miles north of Los Angeles, near old Fort Tejon — roughly an hour's drive depending on traffic. The mountain ranch setting is stunning and well worth the trip.
Do classes run rain or shine?
We train in most weather conditions. In the rare event of an extreme weather cancellation, registered attendees will be notified immediately and offered the next available class at no charge.
Do I need to be there?
Yes — and your presence is a key part of the training. You'll actively walk the entire course alongside your dog, and you play a fundamental role in the process. When your dog shows avoidance behavior at each station, you're the one praising and reinforcing that response. The positive reinforcement comes from you — the person your dog trusts most. The more engaged you are, the stronger the results.
What if I want a private session at my home?
We offer private at-home sessions for $1,000 + $100 per dog within 100 miles. Contact us to arrange one.
