Leave it: Dog trainers help pets avoid poisonous snakes
Dog trainers in Arizona use venomless rattlesnakes and electronic collars to teach pets to avoid venomous snakes. Over 150,000 dogs in the U.S. are bitten by venomous snakes annually, with treatments costing thousands of dollars. Training programs aim to reduce these incidents, particularly in regions with high snake populations.
