Rattlesnakes and Copperheads De-snaking Clinic, Courtesy of Chief's Brittanys Chief's Brittanys and Bird Hunts 13th annual SNAKE AVOIDANCE Clinic will be the FIRST Saturday In August, 2008. Want 'Snake Proofing'? NOTE: Our clinic is ALWAYS the first Saturday in August, just in time for dove season! DETAILED DIRECTIONS AT BOTTOM, please scroll all the way down - Do not use online maps or GPS. Some call it snake proofing / snake proofing (no such thing actually as 'snakeproofing'), some call it desnaking or de-snaking, but whatever you want to call it, we do it right! We teach dogs to avoid rattlesnakes and copperheads by sight, sound, and smell! We use live rattlesnakes and live copperhead snakes, large and small. Both species of snakes are indigenous to Texas and responsible for the majority of snake bites in bobwhite quail country. If your dog is old enough to get bit, it's old enough to have snake avoidance training! Because we have over a decade of experience, we tailor the de-snaking process to the personality and age of the dog. Any breed is welcome! If your toy breed lives in snake country, they can be bitten. We strongly recommend desnaking plus snake vaccine. THE 2008 CLINIC WILL BE THE FIRST SATURDAY, which is August 2nd! Walk-ins from 8:00 a.m. until noon, no appointment necessary. 40 dollars per dog for the life of that dog - pay once per dog and that dog gets free rechecks for the rest of it's life every year at our annual snake avoidance clinic! Rattlesnake vaccine (crotalus toxoid) will be on hand to vaccinate your dog. Bring a cooler so that the second dose (for first time snake vaccinated dogs) can be administered 30 days later. Also, now that Texas has a mandatory scan requirement for shelters, we offer Microchipping (40 dollars) Hundreds of happy clients from previous clinics - you'll see them at the clinic getting their dogs rechecked for free! 254 725-6217 or cell 325 669(325) 669-8166.
