Detection Dog Proofing Kit

Detection Dog Proofing Kit

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?
