The way we train our dogs not to touch snakes is with plastic snakes. If they go anywhere near it, they get reprimanded. has worked well so far

Hi Just so you know, there are yellow bellied Blacks in Australia, However, they are not very aggresive but will bite if agitated. thier venom is not as severe neither. but still requires vetinary help. The other day one of our cats got bitten by a Tiger or brown snake, not sure which, and needed anti-venom. He got this after 2 hours of waiting and deciding what to do. Just as a random fact, Cats have 80% of survival when bitten by a snake, this is with Vetinary Care but without being issued with anti-venom. Our Cat would have been part of the Unlucky 20% if we hadnt acted. If only dogs had the same reactions as cats when it comes to snakes! -Jennifer
