Rattlesnake aversion training, combined with other avoidance techniques and prevention of rattlesnakes at home, are the best actions to take to keep your dog safe from rattlesnakes.

Rattlesnake aversion training is a process that teaches dogs to be cautious and avoid rattlesnakes. Dogs have no evolutionary history with rattlesnakes and have no natural aversion to them. As a result, a buzzing venomous snake looks more like food or a toy than a threat to our furry pets. Aversion training is simply a method of teaching them that rattlesnakes are nothing to play with. Rattlesnake Solutions does not offer dog training (we know a lot more about snakes than dogs and leave it to the experts), so we have partnered with Rattlesnake Ready as our recommendation on who should provide this service.

If you are hiking with a dog, you should always use a leash. In our polling, we have discovered that second only to your own backyard, the majority of bites to dogs happen on trails when off-leash. By simply using a leash, the owner can control the situation and avoid almost all risk. Remember that dogs are typically bitten on the nose when they go to investigate, not being surprised by a hiding snake.

Lastly, you should take all efforts possible to reduce the chances of an encounter on your property. We have outlined how to do this in our Ultimate Guide to Keep Snakes Away From Your Home

There is a "vaccine" available for dogs. We are not veterinarians, and I would encourage you to speak to your vet about this. However, I would not give it to my dog, personally.
