The suggestions re: making your home/yard/property rodent UNFRIENDLY are good ones.
I used to get a big bullsnake in my garden which didn't really bother me more than the fact I appreciate the wild rabbits that nest under my and my neighbor's houses and didn't want them to become prey. But lest you buy into the premise that bullsnakes routinely kill rattlesnakes, they really don't. And why would they when rodents are so much easier "meals."
Good luck. Those I know who live in the nearby foothills have taken to placing a hoe in several prominent areas of the yard for "snake control."
As to your dogs, the rattlesnake vaccine can buy you time to seek care and reduce the chance of death. But, I'd also suggest you pair that with snake aversion training. All my dogs and my friends' dogs go through this training usually after a year of age from a group that comes up from om Texas and trains with both large bullsnakes and "milked" western diamondback rattlesnakes. They run hundreds of dogs (both hunting dogs and pets destined for hiking trails or homes that abut snake territory. I can attest to how effective it has been. You can check with large sporting goods stores or hunting clubs in your area who will undoubtedly be able to refer you.
Here's a link to the group I use:
