A dog in training learned to avoid venomous snakes after receiving a simulated bite. The dog, a 2-year-old blue heeler mix, was approached by a western diamondback rattlesnake and received a quick zap on the neck. This training method is intended to teach dogs to stay away from snakes that can cause harm.

The snake used in the training had its venom glands removed, ensuring the dog's safety. Further details about the training and its effectiveness are available from the source, including information about the dog trainer and the training process.
