[pct-l] Rattlesnake training

[patti kulesz]

yes one is enough Andy...atleast for one year Patrick says. Then u can bring them back for reminder training. And the $70.00 is totally worth it! Ur dog is still gonna want to check out bushes and such but he/she will be trained to know what the snakes smell like and therefore stay away from the area when they DO smell them.

Good morning, Andy,

I think you're right, the training can't hurt, but here's something that
can:  http://www.trailjournals.com/photos.cfm?id=217197
That was on the south side of Hauser Canyon where the trail was about 4'
wide.  That guy could probably eat a lap-dog.
