OUR MISSION
25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
At Arizona Rattlesnake Aversion, we specialize in life-saving training that teaches dogs to instinctively avoid dangerous encounters with rattlesnakes. Founded by experienced trainer Steven Buhrke, our program is based in Tucson and uses a proven method that combines scent recognition and real-life exposure to live, devenomized rattlesnakes. When a dog investigates the snake, a brief buzz from a training collar reinforces the instinct to retreat — not engage. This critical training helps protect your dog from the serious threat rattlesnakes pose in the Arizona desert, where bites can be fatal and emergency treatment is costly. We welcome dogs of all sizes and offer personalized sessions to ensure your pet learns to recognize and avoid snakes for life. Your dog’s safety is our top priority.
