Day Of

What to expect when we arrive.

🚶

We Tour The Property

The moment we arrive, we'll walk your property together so you can show us the ground your dog actually covers — trails, yard, wood piles, anywhere a rattlesnake could turn up.

🗺️

We Plan The Course

Our team walks the property to lay out the full 12-station course — built around your actual terrain instead of a fixed layout.

🐍

We Build The Course

We set up every station and bring in the snakes, all inside secure containment, right on the ground your dog will actually be defending.

📝

We Gather Final Details

Quick last check on your dog — temperament, triggers, anything we should know — so the session is dialed in before we start.

🐾

We Meet Your Dog

Treats, a proper introduction, and a calibrated e-collar fitting — with more treats along the way. Then a slip lead goes on and we get started.

🎓

We Train Station By Station

Together, we walk the course station by station — pairing a mild aversive with "this is bad," and praise and treats with "this is good," every time your dog retreats from the snake or a snake-related cue.

Questions

Private booking FAQs.

How much space do I actually need? ▾

We can make it work at basically any single-family home — we build the course around your property's actual layout, using your front, side and backyard.

How far will you travel? ▾

Anywhere within about 100 miles of Santa Clarita. Travel is billed at $2/mile, one-way only, from our ranch to your property — calculated automatically once you enter your address, and shown before you pay. If you're right on the edge of that radius, call us and we'll confirm before you book.

Can I split the visit with my neighbors? ▾

Yes — one visit covers up to 10 dogs (capped lower than our usual 20-dog max to keep things safe in the heat) at $150/dog after the $500 base fee, plus a one-time $2/mile travel fee for the visit, and you also get 1% off your total per dog for the training portion, so splitting a session with neighbors or family nearby is one of the most cost-effective ways to book. Just make sure whoever books has a property that fits the space requirements above.

Which days can I book? ▾

Fridays and Sundays are set aside for private on-location visits — one property at a time, so every session gets our full attention. Saturdays are reserved for our ranch classes in Santa Clarita.

What happens after I book? ▾

You're booked as soon as you pay — no confirmation call needed. If you have questions or need something specific about your property or timing, call or text us and we'll sort it out; otherwise, we'll just see you on your date.

Is it really no muzzles, zero bites? ▾

Yes. Every rattlesnake stays inside secure, custom containment for the entire session — your dog is never within striking distance. That's true at the ranch and at your property.

Would a ranch class work instead? ▾

Often, yes — it's the same rigorous, one-on-one, 12-station course for less per dog. A private on-location session is worth the difference when you want training on your own terrain, have multiple dogs, or want to split a visit with neighbors. See ranch class dates and pricing →

Can I use a discount code? ▾

Discount codes are only valid for classes at our ranch — they aren't accepted on private on-location checkout. Instead, this booking automatically applies 1% off your total per dog, starting at 2 dogs (so 3 dogs = 3% off, 5 dogs = 5% off, and so on). You'll see it reflected in your total before you pay.
