In the US, some dog trainers help pets avoid venomous snakes在美国,一些训犬师会帮助宠物狗避开毒蛇。
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says as many as 150,000 dogs are bitten by venomous snakes each year in the US.

Belcher (right) using his western diamondback rattler Brian to teach a dog to avoid poisonous snakes in Tucson, Arizona.
Ripley, a medium-sized dog with a strong prey drive, curiously approached Brian, a large western diamondback rattlesnake, until she got a quick zap on the neck meant to simulate a venomous viper’s bite.
Suddenly, the two-year-old blue heeler mix wanted nothing to do with Brian’s textured brown skin or furiously rattling tail. Ripley was never in danger because Brian had his venom glands removed years ago.

贝尔彻(右)用他的西部菱背响尾蛇布莱恩在亚利桑那州图森市训练一只狗避开毒蛇。
里普利是一只体型中等、捕猎欲望强烈的狗,它好奇地接近了布莱恩——一条体型较大的西部菱背响尾蛇,直到它的脖子上被快速电击了一下,模拟毒蛇的咬伤。
突然间,这只两岁的蓝赫勒犬混血儿对布莱恩粗糙的棕色皮肤和疯狂摇摆的尾巴避之不及。里普利从未处于危险之中,因为布莱恩的毒腺多年前就被切除了。
