How do I keep my dog safe from snakes this summer? Training can help

Deseret News Share this story Annie Barker, Deseret News As summer blazes through the West and hikers swarm the trails, Wild Aware Utah is warning travelers to stay away from snakes on the trails, keep hands away from burrows and narrow, shaded spaces, and wear appropriate sneakers to avoid being bitten on the foot. All of those tips work fine for people. But dogs aren’t quite so forward-thinking, and typically approach strange noises for further investigation. So how can dog owners prevent their canines from investigating that strange rattling sound in the bushes? Snake aversion training for dogs is one way to keep dogs away from slithering reptiles. The classes, which typically take about three to four hours, introduce a class of dogs to a defanged rattlesnake, allowing them to observe the sight, smell and sound of a rattlesnake. This helps train the snout of a dog to recognize the smell of a rattlesnake.

DWR announces 2nd round of increased drought fishing limits

Fishing limits for Wellsville Reservoir, Skylar’s Pond and Garden City Pond were increased Thursday, along with 54 other community fishing ponds in Utah. According to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, this increased limit will remain in effect until Aug. 31. These limits were put in effect in anticipation of fish die-off because of the extreme drought conditions and low-water levels in Utah. At the 57 community fishing ponds, fishers can keep up to four fish as long as two of the fish are trout. × Advertisement “Community fisheries are small ponds, and we anticipate that temperatures in these ponds this summer will exceed the maximum temperature tolerated by trout,” DWR’s sportfish coordinator Randy Oplinger said. “The intent of this regulation change is to provide anglers the opportunity to harvest and use additional fish before any potential fish loss.”
