Technical Specifications

How the Hollow Design Works

The lids feature pre-drilled holes that are smooth-edged, so they won't scratch your dog's nose or your fingers. The hollow arrangement, combined with the cotton barrier, lets scents drift out gradually, encouraging your dog to investigate and locate the hidden treat. This design makes it easy to increase difficulty by placing the tin in different spots or hiding it among other objects.

How Do You Use These Scent Tins for Dog Training?

Place a small treat inside the tin, attach the magnetic dot to the bottom, and set the tin on a metal surface like a refrigerator or a metal baking sheet. Start with the tin in an open area so your dog can easily find it. As your dog improves, hide the tin behind furniture or under a rug. Reward your dog when they sniff or indicate the correct tin. You can also use the tins without magnets by simply placing them on non-metal surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these tins with wet food?

The aluminum tins are easy to clean, so you can use small amounts of wet food. Just wipe them out after each session to prevent residue build-up.

Are the magnets strong enough to hold the tin on a vertical surface?

The magnetic dots are designed for moderate hold. On vertical metal surfaces, the tin should stay in place during calm sniffing, but vigorous scratching might dislodge it. For best results, use horizontal surfaces or place the tin in a shallow dish.

Do the tins come pre-assembled?

Yes, each tin arrives with the lid on and a cotton piece inside. The magnetic dots are separate and need to be attached to the bottom of each tin before use.

How many tins do I need for a training session?

You can start with just one or two tins. As your dog learns, you can use all 18 to create more challenging search patterns. The set gives you plenty of options for rotating scents and hiding spots.
