Nose Work for Dogs,Dog Scent Training Kit Magnetic Dog Scent Work Tins Dog Scent Training Tins,Dog Smell Training Kit Aluminum Cans with Lids,Dog Nose Work Containers (18 Pack)

I am training my dogs as conservation scent detection dogs and ordered these containers for training. These are a bit bigger than the tins I’ve had in the past, which I find very useful for storing larger distractors. There is plenty of ventilation to allow the odor to escape.The tins do hold odor themselves, so make sure you use a marked subset as “hot” containers! I empty the hot tin after every use, and still after washing out the hot tin yesterday and leaving it out to dry, I can smell the birch quite strongly myself.I didn’t expect this type of container to be overly sturdy. Lightweight and easy to use was my priority. Just know that they do dent fairly easily. My dog got a little excited on his alert yesterday and made some dents in the cover. Nothing that concerns me, but if it bothers you, keep your dog from getting to them directly. I set them in toilet flanges.The other thing that’s different about these is they are screw tops rather than slide on, which my previous tins were. Those tins locked up after some time of non use, so I think this type will be preferable.

We used these to fill with felt and mint oil to repel mice in our lake cottage. So much more economical to make than buy already assembled and we can reuse year after year.

I have my own heavy duty magnets so just switched them out - will be fun to do scent work with my dog.

We go to a dog friendly hardware store. I attach a few of these magnetic boxes around the store and come back in with her. She has to “find it” for a handful of small but high value treats. Fun!

They are definitely cheap, and dent easy. Magnets were not included but that's fine, craft store has them. They do serve their purpose, and I'm not sad if I manage to hide one from both myself and the dogs...

He gets so excited when I pull these out to work with! Took a day to get him to understand if he finds one he gets a treat. Great for digs who need jobs!!

A very good scent training item.

Works well for detection training for a fraction of the cost. They are tin so they bend and dent easy.
