This Golden Retriever watches carefully as a rattlesnake slithers across the training ground.
Lina, a Belgian Malinois, owned by Dart Canyon resident Jason Jackson, appears wary of something nearby.
The July 21 rattlesnake avoidance training for dogs at Double Dog Ranch in Dart Canyon lured 56 dog owners, who came to watch as their pets were led through a grassy field by trained experts from Natural Solutions Wildlife Enterprises. When asked whether other kinds of animals could receive the same kind of training, the Natural Solutions trainer said, “Not really; in the past some horses were trained, but that was very rare. The problem was that it was too dangerous for the rider.”
This white Labrador apparently doesn’t know it’s being followed.
