Cody Williams

My name is Cody. I grew up in a small town in rural northern California. As a kid, I was raised around dogs (Boxers) and other pets, and quickly developed interest in just about all living things. In high school I was offered my first job at The Aquarium & Pets, a pet store in Red Bluff, California. Naturally with a job like that, I occasionally came home with new animals and developed all sorts of knowledge working with animals and the public. I primarily had a fascination with reptiles, especially since most people were not fond of them. Additionally, my parent's owned a piece of property where many rattlesnakes and other critters lurked, too. While admiring wild rattlesnakes on the property and having worked at the store through high school and into junior college, one day in 2012 a customer came in and asked me "Do you know anybody who does rattlesnake aversion training for dogs?" I hadn't, there was nobody around offering it, and that is where it all began for Rattlesnake Ready. Now, some years later and a snake collection later, my wife Kate has taken over the scheduling and administrative aspects of the growing business. This has allowed me to focus solely on training dogs and properly caring for the snakes. We have relocated the business to Cave Creek, Arizona where we train dogs full-time, year round. Though I do have knowledge in obedience training and other areas of dog training, my business is focused entirely on avoidance training for rattlesnakes and toads. I am proud to say that in those years I have trained thousands of dogs in rattlesnake aversion with great success.I am probably one of very few individuals in this line of work who is knowledgeable in both reptiles and canines equally. I've worked with many different breeds of dogs, both big and small, young and old - with exceptional success, and that number is increasing every day. I absolutely love what I do and I look forward to potentially meeting you and helping protect your pet.
