BREED SPECIFIC TRAINING

TRAINING FOR YOUR SPECIFIC BREED

At Canine Snake Avoidance, we understand that specific breeds of dogs have specific training needs. Therefore we have both a general and modified program to accomodate for differen types of dogs. This is important to do as what "drives" a dog is a significant motivator to determine the type of training that is required. For example, hound dogs and sight dogs use different senses as their primary means to explore the world.

We adopt Canine Snake Avoidance training for the specific needs of dogs regardless of which group they belong to whether they be: Utility dogs, Gun Dogs, Hounds, Toy Dogs, Terriers, Working Dogs or of the Non Sporting variety.

At Canine Snake Avoidance, we also understand that individual dogs can have specific needs or have been trained in a specific way. We can tailor training for your indvidual dog and work closely with dog owners to ensure that dogs needs are always met.

Gun Dog Canine Snake Avoidance

Gun dogs have been specifically bred to assist man as they have evolved along side humans as fellow hunters since the Ice age. As weapons progressed over time including since the development of guns, specific breeds of dogs have adopted different functions. Some work in water such as Golden Retrievers, while Pointers developed their pointing stance to help hunters identify a prey's location. Today Gun dogs are still used for hunting, but can also have a perfectly happy life away from firearms in the family home. At Canine Snake Avoidance, the most common dogs we train are gun dogs.
