Here's a testimonial for you!

In my class, when I say if you don't work on anything ever again that we go over in class, work on the recall.

And this is why, see the testimonial from Madonna in the comments.

Good morning, the rattlesnake vaccine is controversial at this point with many vets recommending NOT doing it.

What I personally recommend, as experts do as well, is an aversion clinic to teach your dog to stay away from them in the first place.

The second best benefit, is their alert is your alert and can save from you getting bit as well.

Have a real heart-to-heart with your vet. Talk to them about the pros and cons of the vaccine. Research and study.

And until then, be sure and get signed up for this clinic.
