Snake Avoidance Workshop
14 December, 2025
With Steve Austin, CPDT-KA
Steve Austin will be at Allsorts Dog Training conducting a one day practical workshop to learn how to keep your dogs
safe from snakes, and how to keep native reptiles safe from your dog.
About the Workshop
Steve’s conservation detector dogs work in the Australian bush, alongside some of the deadliest snakes in the world.
The dogs must learn to stay away from snakes. In this practical hands-on workshop, Steve will guide you through
a programme to make your dog safe from snakes too.
Live Snake
A live, non-venomous, snake will be used for snake avoidance training. Both the snake and your dogs will be
protected from one another during the training.
