Out here in Yucca Valley-29 Palms-Wonder Valley, we have a number of
rattler catcher-handlers who'll relocate rattlers gratis, several of
whom advertise their services to train dogs to avoid rattlers. I have no
idea how they do that. I've been fortunate in that I've yet to spot a
rattler or even a scorpion where I live (and I frequently go outside at
night to stare at the stars). But my property is Black Widow Capital! I
spot (and usually dispatch) a new one every other night...
