Product Description

What is a proofing box used for? Whether you are a Law Enforcement K9 handler or a nose work sport dog trainer, you need to proof your dog off the items you are using to store and hide your odors. We do not want our dogs indicating on the odor boxes, or the 3-D boxes we carry our training aides in. We use this proofing kit to teach the dog that it is suppose to ignore the odor of the box if there is not scent with the container.

We built this kit to be used in blind searches during detector dog training. The two yellow magnetic odor boxes from this kit are identical to the odor boxes in our larger 5-odor and 1-odor training kits

Detection dog trainers load and hide "odor boxes" from our 5 and 1 odor box kits with narcotics, explosive, or scented Getxent tubes. These loaded odor boxes are then hidden throughout a training location. Our 2 yellow proofing blank odor boxes are then hidden in the same area and are used as a blind search to proof the dogs off the actual odor from these magnetic boxes.

When trainers use tennis balls or Kong's or cotton towels to reward their dogs for a successful find, these items can be cut into small pieces and those pieces loaded into the yellow odor boxes. This protocol can be used in addition to hiding an entire tennis ball, the whole Kong or rolled up cotton towel in a training area. Using our loaded yellow odor boxes actually kills two birds with the same stone.

Training BLIND SEARCHES is important to any and every training system. Read more about What is a DOUBLE BLIND Search in Detector Training, Tracking, and S&R?

Please note that while we strive for high-quality results, 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that may result in minor surface imperfections. These can include slight layer lines, small bumps, or subtle variations in texture. These characteristics are normal and part of the nature of 3D printing, especially with complex or custom designs. We inspect every item to ensure it meets our quality standards and functions as intended.
