Pet owners warning
Just thought I would "throw" this out there for you who would rather NOT read about "T****". :B Saturday, while camping between Soggy dry lake and the "Rock Pile" I take one of our dogs for a walk...

I thought I would bring this back up about a year later, Y-Guy suggested I post an update rather than a new thread.
We took Ryder back to a refresher class on Saturday, He was the one who went "face to face" with a rattler last April. He did very well this time and they only "zapped" Him once.
I was talking to the Dog trainers who hosted the class and to the trainers from "High On Kennels" who did the class, they were concerned that He did not learn from the first class.
I assured them that He did, He got away from the snake and sat next to Me until I led Him away. They put Him thru a little extra training just to make sure he got the message.
I spoke with several others who were at the class with their dog(s) and they all were glad to hear that the class works. Just this past weekend we spoke with 2 others who have had dogs bitten recently, It can and does happen. We saw several dogs that literally went after the snakes, not a good thing for sure.
There are many others who do the class, just search for "Snake avoidance classes" and find one in your area. Highonkennels.com does many local classes in San Diego and Riverside Counties.
Ryder is here today because of the class, a Mojave Green is the most deadly of the snakes we have around here and He very likely would not have survived long enough to get him to help.
