CANINE SNAKE AVOIDANCE TRAINING
It is with the highest recommendation that Mark Pelley - The Snake Hunter advises all dog owners to teach their dogs to avoid venomous snakes. Snake bites can occur in as little as a few seconds after a dog discovers a snake on your property. The cost of treatment typically ranges between $4000 - $7000 and there is no guarantee of survival. Dogs suffer incredibly from venomous snake bites and their suffering is something no dog or owner should witness.
