Each hide and seek scent training game comes with three sets of stacking jars. Each stacking jar has a lid to store scent, and a base that conceals the reward underneath.
This is a great game for training solid alerts and scent discrimination when your dog is training for scent works. Additionally its a brain game boredom buster on rainy days or if your dog is on bed rest.
How to play:
Start with one stacking jar. Place your scent of choice in the top jar (lid) and then screw the lid back on to the base.
Place your stacking jar onto a flat surface low enough for your dog to alert to the top of the jar (depending on your dogs height, the ground may be easiest).
Grab a piece of your dog’s training food and hide it under the base piece.
When your dog alerts to the scent on top, use your terminal marker (“Yes!”) and reveal the reward underneath.
Reset with a new piece of food and try again! When your dog is consistently alerting, you can work on longer alerts, and also try bringing in a second (and eventually third) stacking jar into the mix with no scent in them (or even a distraction scent when they’re really good at the game) to solidify scent discrimination.
Materials: Our Hide & Seek Scent Training Game is made from PLA, a strong plastic produced from renewable resources.
