Product Description

The AKC Scent Work Kit is a small, portable training aid that allows you to train scent work anywhere at anytime. This kit contains four target odors.

Each AKC Scent Work Kit contains 2 jars with non-scented cotton swabs that can be used for each of the four common target odors, Birch, Anise, Clove, and Cypress. An eye dropper is provided to use with each vial of target odor. Included as well are 3 small aerated metal tins and 6 magnetic odor boxes (colors may vary) that can hold a scented cotton swab and a magnet that allows you to hide training aids on or under metal objects. This kit will last you many scent work training sessions. The entire kit is contained inside of a small, waterproof, impact-resistant, hard, plastic case that makes safely transporting all your scent work training aids convenient and simple.

About the Oils

Birch – Betula lenta
Anise – Pimpinella anisum
Clove – Eugenia caryophyllata
Cypress - Cupressus sempervirens

These odors are introduced progressively through the levels of competition, and all should be pure, single-source essential oils—never blended or synthetic.

About AKC

AKC (American Kennel Club) Scent Work is a competitive dog sport that mimics real-world scent detection work, such as what police K9s or working detection dogs perform. Dogs are trained to detect and alert to specific essential oil odors hidden in a variety of search environments. The sport is designed to showcase a dog’s natural scenting ability while promoting teamwork, focus, and confidence. In this sport, dogs must locate target odors in Container Search, Interior Search, Exterior Search, Buried Search, and Handler Discrimination. AKC Scent work is open to all dog breeds and tests both scent detection and obedience to the handler.

Notes

The content of the Aniseed vile may freeze during shipping. If this occurs the oil will change molecular state from a liquid to a powder. This is not damaged and it will return to its liquid form after it is given time to settle (approximately 1 – 2 days).

This kit is perfect. So well made from the super strong box to the labeled jars. I'm looking forward to using this with my dog.

I agree with the AKC show judge's review above. The magnet is not a rare earth magnet, and will be tossed. I ordered rare earth magnets from another site. The case is good and so are the labeled jars and oils. I used my Brother label maker to make little labels for the squeeze bulbs of the tubes, but that didn't work well. A silver Sharpie pen did, with the first letter of the oil on each bulb to prevent mixing them up. I wrap them in clean plastic wrap after rinsing them with alcohol after each use to prevent contaminating the carrier with the different scents. I put a label with my name and number on the case. It's very nice.

**thanks for the review, we will be switching our magnets to RARE EARTH for all kits as of 11-2018**

As a Licensed AKC Scent Work Judge, I think this will be useful. I emptied the Qtips and will use them later. I didn't want them scented. Upside is having the oil and the empty labeled jars in a Pelican Case (per AKC regs, the Qtips need to be prepared at least 24 hours ahead of time and be placed in a glass jar). Those are the "pros" of this kit. The "cons"... there are a couple (which is why this is 3 stars and not 4 or 5). First of all, it would be great if somehow the droppers could be labled. I wouldn't want to mess them up. Putting them in a spot next to each labeled oil would solve that problem. The other thing is that the tin is pretty superfluous and just added to the cost. It's a high profile, useless tin with a cheapie low grade magnet in it. I'll trash the magnet, put in a rare earth magnet and will use the tin (possibly) with one of my beginner classes or with inaccessible hides when it doesn't matter that the tin is easily grabbed by a dog.. Instead I will add straws or heat shrink tubing and Quake hold in the spot to increase it's usability. Overall I' happy and will be making some modifications.
