Description

Avoiding Dangerous Critters! Florida has many critters that can be harmful, and sometimes even deadly to your dog. You can train your dog how to avoid these dangers in just 6 weeks. Pasco county has also been recently invaded by these invasive species: Giant African Land Snails - they can transmit meningitis Cuban Tree Frogs - can make a small dog very sick Cane toads - secrete a toxin from their skin when they feel threatened. This toxin can be deadly to a dog within 15 minutes of contact Florida also has many snakes that are venomous to your dog, other animals and humans. Not only will your dog learn to avoid them, they can warn you of their presence. Dogs instinctively react to sight, sound, and smell, but can also be conditioned or trained to react in a specific manner in specific situations. Training a dog to respond to the sight, sound, and smell of snakes is not a difficult process. What's more, snakes are not the only animals that a dog can learn to avoid. We’ve worked with rattle snakes, poisonous toads, centipedes, scorpions, black widow spiders, and alligators. If you can get the scent for an animal, you can train your dog what to do (move away) when encountering that scent by using the games in this class. This class uses your dog’s intelligence, his fantastic nose, and his ability to navigate the environment via that nose. Your dog will learn self-control when investigating new or interesting things, impulse control when movement catches his attention and kicks in the need to chase, the understanding of what to do when encountering a specific scent, sight, and/or sound, and how to alert any humans to the presence of a dangerous animal. Play simple games that teach your dog what to do when it senses a snake or other dangerous critter. These games are easy, require very little learning for the human or the dog, and pack quite a training punch! Come join us in a six week class where we meet once a week to teach not only snake aversion, but self control, impulse control and how to ignore distractions. Class starts on August 21 at 9 am. $125 for 6 week training class **Classes fill up quickly**
