CWDTC will be sponsoring a rattlesnake aversion training clinic on March 26, 2023. By completing this training, dogs will learn to recognize the sight, sound, and smell of rattlesnakes. These skills could help save your dog's life should they ever encounter a rattlesnake. For more information or to sign up, please contact Pat Moffett. Contact info is listed on the flyer attached below. There are a few spots left in the afternoon and these clinics tend to fill up quickly! Reserve your space ASAP.
