Canine snake avoidance training is saving the lives of dogs!
Dog snake avoidance training works!
Nothing to more tragic than a dog dying from venomous snake bite at the prime of their life.
Until now there have been various things an owner can do to reduce the risk of venomous snakes biting their pet, but none really were guaranteed to work.
You could attempt to catch or kill the snake, or even call in a professional snake catcher to clear your property of snakes.
But that has never stopped other snakes from turning up at some unspecified time in the unforseen future.
The common result is the owner coming home from work to find a dead dog and chewed up snake sitting on the lawn outside the home.
But over recent decades, the Snake Man, Raymond Hoser and some of Australia's best dog trainers have teamed up to invent Canine Snake Avoidance training.
This training gets dogs to run away from snakes when they see them ... or smell them.
To say it works well is an understatement!
A barrier fence is not required!
Besides saving the life of people's pet dogs, the training bypasses the cruelty of seeing dogs dying a painful death as they bleed from every orifice in their body.
The training avoids unforseen vet bills running to the thousands of dollars or sometimes even tens of thousands of dollars.
... For many years people and professional dog trainers have trained dogs to avoid snakes by using non-venomous snakes or lizards and correction training to teach avoidance behaviour.
The most effective method of correction training the dog is with an electric shock collar, or so-called e-collar as it enables the trainer to get the dog to associate with the pain with the snake and not the owner and therefore to avoid the snake due to fear of being zapped.
Unfortunately this training still rarely worked.
This is because by necessity dogs had to be trained using non-venomous snakes and as all types of snakes smell different to one another, a dog trained to avoid one kind of snake will usually not avoid another.
As a rule dogs see (or should we say smell) venomous snakes as being different to the non-venomoous ones.
This is because besides looking quite different to non-venomous species, they also have a very different odour and dogs have a very acute sense of smell. In fact a dog's sense of smell is many times better than that of a human and humans can also tell the difference in smell between different kinds of snakes.
Hence dogs trained using non-venomous snakes have still been bitten by venomous ones.
Many vet surgeons and others who have authorised e-collars to be used to teach dogs to avoid snakes have therefore decided that the whole idea of snake avoidance training for dogs is a waste of time and not worth trying.
But all this changed dramatically in 2003, when the Snakeman Raymond Hoser, Australia's foremost reptile expert solved the problem!
Hoser became the first person in the world to successfully surgically devenomize deadly snakes.
That is, deadly snakes were made totally harmless by the surgical removal of the relevant saliva or venom glands.
These amazing snakes, now known as venomoid or venomoids have been used in Australia’s best reptile shows ever since in shopping malls, reptile parties, schools and other venues across Australia being the only guaranteed safe venomous shows in the country.
In fact Hoser's businesses Snakebusters® and Reptile Parties® are the most demanded reptile shows in all parts of Australia and were even granted the registered trademark Australia's best reptiles®.
