Single Odor Scent Kits - $30.00

Single Odor Kits

All of the civilian style nose work dog sports use 4 or 5 odors. Ed specifically designed this one odor kit for several reasons:

  • Civilian trainers who want to start their training with only one odor
  • Civilian trainers who want to keep their 4 or 5 odors in separate scent kits
  • Law enforcement searching for pedophile hard drives and thumb drives

All kits can be purchased without odor so you can provide your own, this is especially useful for police and military applications.

This new kit includes newly designed magnetic odor boxes as well. Scent items are placed in these odor boxes. These boxes have a sliding top with air vents and a magnet compartment. The magnet compartment (located on the bottom of the box) is designed to hold our earth magnet. Once the magnet has been inserted, it won't come out. We do not use glue to hold the magnets in place. We don't want dogs searching for the odor of glue.
