Serenity Scent Work & Snake Avoidance Training
The Serenity Scent Work Snake Avoidance Program is a must attend for all dog owners.
It offers a modern, ethical alternative to traditional snake avoidance training using shock collars. Talk to Jess at the fair to find out how this self-paced online course helps dogs learn to recognise and avoid snake scent using clear, reward-based training—no fear or punishment involved. It includes individual coaching, video support, and a snake scent kit for safe home practice. Designed to give you confidence and your dog the tools to make safe choices, it’s suitable for dogs in both rural and suburban areas throughout the Southern Highlands and Tablelands.
The sessions will be run by Jess Ghali
