Company that does snake avoidance training?

[Mosby]

I volunteer with a bird dog club in the Kansas City area. Several members travel to the Dakota's and Montana to hunt and want to have their dogs go through snake/porcupine avoidance training this year, before next season. If possible, we would like to arrange to have someone come to Kansas City and offer avoidance sessions over a weekend rather than caravan up to South Dakota. I've been to the training near Rapid City with my dogs and I thought they did a great job. Anyone know of individuals or companies that we could hire to offer avoidance training in KC?

I tried about 15 years ago to do one in Dodge as a fund raiser for PF. I couldn't get it using the people I contacted because they used diamond backs and they cannot be brought into Kansas. I don't know if this has changed and I don't know about Missouri. I ended up taking my dog to Amarillo.

Interesting. I never thought about restrictions on the snakes coming into the state. We are on the Missouri side and I'll have to look into that.. A bunch of us are hunting Montana, North and SD next year and hoping for someone with prairie rattlesnakes. If not, we'll end up going to one in SD.
