Snake Identification and Safety Workshop for Humans
Learn more about snakes native to Florida!
Presented by Jim Lipscomb, the President of the South Florida Herpetology Society, and Valentino Lipscomb. Join us to learn how to avoid being bitten by snakes by learning about snake safety and snake identification of venomous Florida snakes and harmless snakes. This workshop will feature non venomous live snakes but no one is required to interact with any live snakes. This workshop is for humans only and does not include dogs. Specific advice will be given what to do if you see a snake to optimize your safety. Learn snake identification in case your dog is bitten by a snake and your vet will need to know what type of snake has bitten your dog. This workshop is recommended for any dog parent that has a backyard, hikes or engages in outdoor activities with their dog. No veterinary medical advice is included. This is not a snake avoidance course, we offer that separately in private training click here for information.

Our time with Courteous Canine over the years always surpasses expectations. Every staff is trained at a level unmatched throughout Tampa Bay. We feel blessed to have found a place that we can trust whole-heartedly in their recommendations to vets, training, etc for our fur babies. Any time I have questioned a method, they have always been able to explain it with current evidentiary support and the dogs well-being in the forefront. Even when one of our dogs was not able to attend day care until we were able to work through a certain behavior, we knew it was in the best interest of our dog and the others in the care of Courteous Canine. It’s this level of consistency and “canines first” mentality that has made us such a strong advocate for this group.
Compassionate, knowledgeable team of trainers who are committed to positive, force-free training! There are a wide variety of services to meet almost any dog training need.
They are professional, knowledgeable, and are interested in training your dog. They work with you and take the time to answer questions or concerns and they offer clear explanations or demonstrations of the tasks that the dog is learning to do. You have their undivided attention and you feel that they are focused on your dog. They evaluate your dog and give you feedback each visit. They email you with a review of each session, homework and what is planned for the next visit. They are reliable and can be contacted by email with a timely response. The training sessions are individualized to your dog and are kept short with rest periods as needed. This has been a positive experience and we look forward in achieving our goals.
