The Silverado-Modjeska Recreation and Park District (SMRPD) is a local government special district established by the Orange County Board of Supervisors in 1961. Its purpose is to provide a well-rounded, wholesome program of recreation and leisure time activities for residents of the County's canyon areas, which includes Silverado, Ladd, Black Star, Williams and Modjeska canyons.
Description
Note: You MUST Register Here to attend. SMRPD is not charging for this event, but $90 per dog will be charged by the dog trainers, Natural Solution, at the door.
This class works by introducing your dog to both juvenile and adult LIVE, SAFELY-MUZZLED rattlesnakes of the species found in your area. Trainers will use a remote training collar to provide a perfectly-timed low-level stimulation that your dog will associate with the rattlesnake. This will effectively enable your dog to detect the sights, sounds and smells of rattlesnakes and create the reflex for your dog to quickly move away and avoid them.
Dogs must be at least 6 months old.
Training sessions are recommended 1x/year for 3-4 consecutive years.
