Compact, rugged case full of everything needed to get 1 or more dogs up to speed in Nosework. Perfect for the individual, or in my case, several dogs, between my own dogs and those in my classes. Love it!

We play a game with Turk in which we hide his rope, and have him “Find It” (that’s the command) he seems to enjoy the game, and even get excited to play and find it. One time we hid two ropes and he found the one we had him smell before hiding the 2nd the rope, then we did it again this time putting the 2nd rope on top the game rope, he moved the 2nd rope and grabbed the game rope. So today his Nosework kit arrived, we took a tin with a Q-tip scented in “Cloves” we hid the tin then said, “find it” he ran in smelled around and hit on it. Patty called him back to her and it was moved, again we said “find-it” and he came running in and again found it within a few second… It is fun to see him start sniffing around and then move toward it, then find it… there are steps to take to have him hit and sit, or freeze, and we will follow those steps, but as far as nosework goes, it is a game he seems to enjoy, he seems to understand “find-it” and whatever the sent is he will find it.. I changed scents after a half dozen times with the Cloves, I switched to “Aniseed oil” I let him smell the new scent, said, “find it” and off he went, sniffed around and went to it. He seems like a natural… and the pep in his step seems like he likes the game. He played with the Aniseed oil about a half dozen times and was done playing, from what I understand you are not supposed to play too long anyway, so I would guess the 18 or so times he played was enough, he found it all but maybe two times and those two times he was in the area, he just didn’t point directly to it, and one of those times it was up under a cabinet, so just standing at the cabinet was pretty good, the other miss, again he was standing at the shelf it was on, he just didn't smell from the floor up high enough, so he knew he was in the area, he just laid down looking at the shelf, all the other times he put his nose right up to the tin… after that I did it one more time, I like him to finish on the high note, so I put it where we started out, He seemed to check their first every time… he went right in and right to it, and stopped searching.

Great kit, very easy to use, and our Turk.. loves it, I will start following the rules from the training One Demand Courses... I know Turk can find the scent, and off leash, now it is time to put him on the leash, and control him a little better.. But I am sure as easy as the instructions are to follow, this is something Turk or any dog will enjoy

I just got this kit and of course, the first thing I did was drop it. NOTHING broke! I am very impressed with all of the materials in the case, as well as the case itself. Very high quality product!
