Nosework Kit
The sport of Nosework has taken off all around the world and dog owners are finding out what a great asset it is to teach their dog to use his or her nose in scent work.
Our kit comes with 4 oils Anise, Birch, Clove & Cypress
We wanted to build a kit that will give the trainer the power to teach, train and proof their dog in Nosework for competition or scent detection for fun, so we designed this kit to have all the items we feel you need and none of what you dont.
The kit comes with pure oils so that you can make your own scented Q tips after the ones in the kit are used up. We provide 10 of each odour pre scented as we wind these will last you months if you are using as we suggest.
We feel that this kit will last the keenest Nosework trainer at least a year before you need to purchase any more nosework supplies.
Please note: Box colour may vary.

17.1 Preparation and Storage of Odours
- The “scent aids” must be cotton balls or q-tips. If q-tips are used, only those with paper stems (not plastic) may be used. The q-tips should be cut in half with the stems trimmed shorter, if preferred.
-
To prepare the scent aids for trial, ONE cotton ball should be used as a carrier vial. This cotton ball is NOT to be used as a hide in trial, but merely acts as an infuser vessel. This ball should have 2 drops of oil dripped onto it (do not allow the vial to touch the cotton ball) and be placed in the bottom of an air tight 250ml glass jar. Into this jar should be placed 30 cotton balls or pre-cut q-tips. Once complete, the jar should be made air tight, shaken vigorously and
left to stand in a cool dark place for 48 hours. - Glass must always be used for scent preparation and storage because the essential oils are corrosive and will break down plastic containers, changing the chemical composition and affecting the scent. Plastic may be used for scent vessels, but the scent aid must be removed from the plastic container for storage.
These oils are genuine oils that can be used in any ANKC, NACSW Trial or school.
