Prevention is better than treatment.
The "purely positive" trainers claim they can snake train a dog. Knowing what I know about dog behavior that is all talk. The interest in a snake will override a dog's interest in whatever treats and rewards you used to train your dog to come to you when detecting a snake.
In other words, don't let someone lie to you.
Do you know what to do if your dog is bitten by a venomous snake? You should have a plan.
I have heard varying opinions from vets regarding the effectiveness of the rattlesnake vaccine... most tell me they have no idea if it is effective.
Learn to understand rattlesnake habitat and habits, behaviors and seasonality.
Plan accordingly.
