"The snake training is not fun but intents to save your dog’s life. We took the training and our dog picked up on the idea pretty fast. Our dog was shocked only when expressing interest and trying to approach the snake. The dog jumped from the shock, and was a bit jumpy after the trading but he calmed down in a few hours. Yes, it’s no fun to watch your dog go through this, however, it is a right thing to do and from my experience Winter Kennels did this training professionally and with due care."

"I took my dog Yogi there for snake avoidance training. They were very fast, patient and used live venomous snakes that had their venom sacs removed. So while the snakes could bite they could not inject venom. Yogi did not get bit but now knows to stay away from at least 3 kinds of snakes. They used rattlesnake, copperhead and water moccasin. They also offer free refresher course for dogs that they have trained."

"I was concerned after my dog sniffed a dead rattlesnake so I took him in for their annual free check. Turns out he knows the difference between a good rattlesnake and a bad one. Added training on copperheads and water moccasins. I've used them for over 20 years."

"I did snake avoidance training with my pup through Winter Kennels. The piece of mind knowing my dog will avoid snakes is worth every cent. They do refresher classes to make sure the dog remembers for free! I highly recommend."

Outstanding

"I have a snake phobia, but living in Central Texas in the country, you are going to come across them. We had our Vizsla Rory trained on all 3 snakes about 4 years ago. Last night he alerted us to a 3+ foot rattlesnake in my flower bed along the front porch. A few months ago he alerted me to a rat snake which was not a snake he was trained on. In both cases he acted exactly as Kay said he would. I highly recommend Kay and Winter Kennels for snake avoidance training."
