The Yellowstone Pointing Dog Club is holding a snake-breaking clinic at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 10, at Thunder Ridge Kennels (east of Billings at 4210 Highway 312).
Austin Turley and John Mciltrot, a professional dog trainer, will teach participating dogs to avoid rattlesnakes through safe and proven methods. The entire process takes a few minutes but lasts a lifetime.
The cost is $50 per dog or $25 per dog for a re-test, which is much less than the vet bills associated with a rattlesnake bite.
