About 

Our training program was developed by expert dog trainer Seth Pywell. Seth is widely considered Western Australia’s best dog trainer and has been training and reconditioning dogs for over 20 years, specialising in canine behaviour modification, scent detection, protection training and obedience training. The program was originally developed in the late 90’s for Working & Hunting dogs, then later modified to suit Search & Rescue Dogs. The program has been continually refined over the years to ensure it uses up-to-date, scientifically sound methods which maximise your dogs’ potential for learning. Field testing of the training has also been used to eliminate any weaknesses and produce the most reliable snake avoidance training system available today.

A dog owners understanding of snakes and their behaviours shouldn't be overlooked as a component of the training. Fundamentally, snakes will try to avoid dogs since they do not see them as food, but as a potential predators. Ultimately, snakes do not want to get into confrontations; it compromises their survival by potentially leading to injury or death. Snakes will try to get away from your dog and use the time provided by the avoidance training to leave your property or find somewhere safe to hide.
