Ideas you can do at home with just basic materials that most people probably already have.
Good article!
I would like to add that this is not marker training although it can be adapted to it' IMLTHO!
In the class I went to with a certified instructor teaching it, she commented that marking the exact time in the behavior would be to hard so it's not used in their program.
I chose not to discuss it simply because I want to learn their system as per their requirements.
I have absolutely no doubt that markers would work easily for this.

Yes and no. The reason you don't use markers is that you want the dog to think the reward comes *from* the odor. This helps develop an obedience to the odor and a stronger focused response ("if I keep my nose glued to this odor long enough, it's going to spit out my reward") with no anticipation of the handler producing the reward. With markers, the reward is clearly coming from the handler even though the dog is learning the desired behavior.
Mike does that with pups that are hardly big enough to reach the tops of those tubes.
Here's the sight where Mike shows how to make those tubes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQqZYka7zYU

I agree 100%!
I chose not to discuss it with the trainer simply because I'm a student with their method. I'll use it through out the classes but markers will be my go to when I'm through the classes.
For this contest I'm using markers in a similar manner to the Loganhause video. I've also made a cheaper version of those scent tubes.
