Welcome to Our Snake Avoidance Training Page
At All Big Canines, we are dedicated to providing effective, humane snake avoidance training for your beloved pets. Our methods ensure your dog's safety while maintaining a positive and fear-free experience.
Why Snake Avoidance Training?
Snake encounters can be dangerous and potentially deadly for dogs. Training your dog to avoid snakes is crucial for their safety, especially if you live in an area where snakes are common. Our humane approach to snake avoidance training uses positive reinforcement techniques, avoiding the use of aversive tools or methods.
Snake Bite Facts
* Venomous Snakes: In the United States, there are several venomous snakes, including rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, and coral snakes.
*Bite Statistics: Approximately 150,000 dogs and cats are bitten by venomous snakes each year in the U.S.
*Symptoms: Symptoms of snake bites in dogs can include swelling, pain, bleeding, and in severe cases, paralysis or death.
*Immediate Action: If your dog is bitten, seek veterinary care immediately. Anti-venom treatment is most effective within the first few hours after a bite.
Dogs' Olfactory System
Dogs have an extraordinary sense of smell, which makes them particularly adept at detecting snakes
*Olfactory Receptors: Dogs have up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about 6 million in humans.
*Brain Power: The part of a dog’s brain dedicated to analyzing smells is, proportionally, 40 times greater than that of humans.
*Detection Ability: Dogs can detect scents at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can.
