How do you make a hide if you can't buy gloves (during COVID-19 shortages)?

This demo shows how to apply scented oil to a piece of paper and secure it inside a black heat shrink tube, for a convenient, compact hide you can take on the road.

OUR APPROACH

In the 7-Day Scent Challenge, Domino began with no previous scent experience. Watch Domino's transformation, starting with introducing a handler scented sock with food on top of it in an open box. We built motivation, adding one small baby step at a time. By day 6, she's finding strange boxes, without food, in new rooms.

Sniffing Satistfies

When dogs search, they sniff 200 times/minute and research shows the workout is similar to agility. Mentally, it's far more satisfying than free food in a bowl, with nothing to do all day long.

Fun, Guaranteed

Have fun or your money back. Try the 7-day Scent Recognition Challenge and if you don't have fun, you have 7 days to request a full refund.

"I enjoy Carla’s classes very much! She has a very positive and encouraging way of instructing, and she always makes sure we and our dogs have fun while learning. Her method of teaching nosework is clear, and provides a very sound foundation, so we see our dogs progress very quickly... Her instruction also gives me insight into how odor travels, and how to be the best handler possible when my dog is searching. My dogs and I are always eager for our next nosework practice, thanks to Carla’s teaching and support."
