THIS TRAINING COULD SAVE YOUR DOGS LIFE
Poison baiting happens in Hanoi—more than most people realize. Snakes live in our parks, near construction, along rice fields. Your dog needs to know how to avoid both, instinctively and immediately.
We're the only facility in Vietnam using real poisons and live snakes to teach it.
No simulation. No shortcuts. Just life-saving skills that stick.
VIETNAM'S ONLY POISON BAIT & SNAKE AVOIDANCE TRAINING
Using real poisons and live snakes—safely managed, professionally handled.
Why real threats? Because dogs learn through scent, movement, and experience. Fake snakes and harmless substances don't create the deep, instinctive avoidance response your dog needs when it matters.
Your dog is never at risk. Every training session is supervised by Mark Singer—40+ years training military and detection dogs. All poisons and snakes are professionally handled under strict safety protocols. Your dog never comes in direct contact with any poisons or snakes during training. Your dog is trained to identify and avoid those scents before coming in contact with them.
Mark trained detection dogs for the Royal Australian Air Force—teaching them to identify explosives, narcotics, and also detection dogs with Australian Quarantine.
This isn't theory. It's the same training method used to protect working dogs in high-stakes environments.
THE RISKS ARE REAL—AND CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
In Vietnam, dogs face two life-threatening dangers: poison bait (left by neighbors, used for rodent control, or placed by dog haters) and venomous snakes (common near parks, construction sites, and rice fields).
When a dog ingests poison or gets bitten by a snake, the suffering is immediate—seizures, internal bleeding, organ failure. Even with emergency treatment, many suffer permanent damage. These aren't just scary stories. They happen in Hanoi every week.
That's why we built this program.
THE TRAINER BEHIND THE PROGRAM
Mark Singer didn't learn this in a classroom. He built it in the field.
For 12 years, Mark trained detection dogs for the Royal Australian Air Force—teaching them to identify explosives, narcotics, and quarantine threats by scent alone. Life-or-death accuracy was the only acceptable outcome.
After leaving the military, he was recruited by Australian Quarantine Inspection Services to establish the country's Beagle Detector Dog Program—the same dogs you see working in every Australian airport today, trained to detect biosecurity threats before they enter the country.
That's 43 years of training dogs to avoid dangerous substances and identify threats most people can't even see.
Poison bait avoidance? Snake avoidance? This is what Mark has been doing his entire career—just applied to keep your dog safe instead of a country's borders.
When your dog's life depends on getting it right, you want someone who's done it 25,000 times before.
