Why Nose Work Matters
-
Follow Their Nose
Instinctive Training Made Easy
Your dog’s nose was built for adventure, so turn that natural instinct into exciting nosework for dogs, from rainy-day hide-and-seek to backyard scent hunts. Developed with IACP-certified experts, this dog scent training kit starts with safe anise pouches and includes scent-tight stainless-steel tins and Mylar bags tested to keep every scent fresh. Made for obedience training, service dog practice, and daily enrichment games that sharpen focus, relieve stress, for every sniffer happily engaged.
-
Nature’s Nosework
Pure Anise Power
Made with safe, all-natural anise seeds that releases dopamine, the messenger of pleasure, reward, and motivation. Carefully measured for the right amount, the air-mesh pouch is crafted to perfection so the aroma flows freely while the seeds stay securely protected. Hide it in the living room or the yard and your pup becomes a playful detective, following trails with delight. In minutes you’ve turned ordinary play into a science-backed brain game that builds confidence and strengthens your bond.
-
Level Up the Hunt
New scents, bigger challenges
Fill the pouch with your own scent items like duck, antler, rabbit, training treats or any favorite hunting scent and watch your dog’s nosework skills and hide-and-seek game instincts come alive. Each new smell raises the challenge, boosting natural tracking drive and nosework for dogs. The machine-washable air-mesh cover keeps every hunt fresh and ready for nosework training session into a brain-boosting adventure and a joyful bonding moment that builds confidence and focus with every play.
-
Train Like a Pro at Home
Confidence through nosework
It starts with one little pouch hidden under the couch. Your dog lowers their head, tail wagging, and the hunt begins. Created with IACP-certified trainers, our patented program makes professional scent training simple and fun for every owner. From the first easy hide-and-seek to advanced nosework for dogs, each scent dog game sparks natural instincts and ends with that proud, tail-thumping “I found it!” glow. Every round builds focus, boosts confidence, and deepens the bond you share with joy.
-
Clip. Carry. Play Anywhere
Take Nosework On the Go
Snap the sturdy carabiner clip to your leash, belt, or tote and head out for an afternoon of sniffing fun. Whether you’re strolling through the park or exploring a new trail, your dog’s favorite scent pouches come along with ease. After a wash, loop the clip on a door handle or porch rail to air-dry. Hang the pouches higher to turn backyard hide-and-seek into a next-level nosework challenge. It’s a simple design that makes every scent hunt fresh, portable, and a joy to share with your dog.
-
Gain Confidence. Better Behavior
Calm Minds, Happy Hearts
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Helsinki found that dogs who participated in scent work activities had significantly lower levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, compared to dogs who did not participate in scent work. When your dog trots back with the scent kit, tail high and eyes shining, it’s more than a game won. Focused sniffing builds confidence and melts tension, so you come home to a calmer, happier dog and share the quiet joy of a deeper bond.

Best purchase for my dogI bought this to work with our rescue dog. What an amazing product! She has really caught on quickly. It comes with 6 scent bags and each one catches her attention in a different way. This has given her different mental and physical exercise and stimulation. I highly recommend it for working breeds. Our other dog is not a working breed, however he gets exercise and stimulation from following me around and watching the “games”. This is a great product and worth the price. The pouches are also very durable for the dog.

Game changerOur working cocker spaniel is obsessed with this game and will try to “find it” even if we’re not playing. It keeps her entertained for a VERY LONG TIME.. if she had the choice, she would play 247. Highly highly recommend!!!!

GSD Loves ItI have a 4 year old GSD who is still hyperactive, much to our exhaustion. He knows a "search" command and we do scent work around the house and backyard using treats at couple times a week. We also have a DIY scent oil kit we made. It works, but can be a "pain" to set up if lazy. Wanted to give this a try due to simplicity in a nice pre-made package. Within 30 minutes he was acclimated to the bag, understood the assignment, was consistently alerting on finding it, and is now taking a nap.

Fantastic productMy dog absolutely loves these. They are a good size and makes for a very fun and stimulating activity.

Fun game for sniffing dogsI have a beagle and she sniffs EVERYTHING. Thought this would be a fun game for her and it is! It does take her a long time to get locked on the scent, but we are new to this product. With practice and time she will be hunting these out everywhere. The smell isn’t too powerful to bother me, but she loves it. Would recommend as a fun game that also can be used to work on recall!

Hit or missCute package and idea. Too expensive for the value of kit. Our dog did not like the scent and was not interested to play.
Anthony (verified owner) –
These are great intro to nose workI would definitely recommend. My dog picked it up so quickly and absolutely loves looking for them.

A new exciting game for my high energy dogWhile she is not very good at it, she loves the scent game. We incorporate treats for her when she finds the satchel. The scent is strong, but not overpowering. I do let the bags dry out for a day before putting them back in the tin so the moisture doesn't ruin what is inside. Event after having them for a while the scent is still decently strong. I assume when they eventually wear out I can use essential oils to continue their use a lot longer.
She is wiped after a 15 minute "find it" game. She won't be a police sniffing dog academy graduate, but we have fun together playing.
There are instructions how to teach your dog to search for the bags. Start slow and build from there.

Easy to learn, fun to master!The media could not be loaded. This is a great scent training kit for beginners! I have been looking for an indoor game or outdoor challenge for my service dog who is always looking for a job to do when she’s off duty. My dog is already somewhat familiar with scent work, so it only took a few minutes of training inside before she was ready to find the bags throughout our one acre backyard. Took her about 10 minutes to find all 6! She sniffed her little heart out and then came inside panting like she just sprinted a mile.

Pretty goodI am a little bit confused because all of the sachets smell exactly the same. I sort of thought they would be different scents so the dog can get used to finding different things. Nevertheless, they do have a strong scent, not bad it just smells like herbs, and my dog has been able to find them. I had already taught him to find his toy, by hiding it in a room and then bringing him in and giving him a command to find it. And I had already taught him to sit when he knew where the toy was because sometimes I would put it in a drawer or in a closet. So we have had a little trouble transitioning because at first I wanted to give him his toy as a prize for finding the sachet but every time I told him to find it he would go for the toy in my hand lol. So I am improvising and leaving the toy in the other room. And he is getting it! But I really wanted a bunch of different scents so he could get used to being told to smell something and then going and finding it. But other than that, they work well.

Great game for my AussieWe got these as a training tool to tire out our Aussie puppy on rainy days. He figured it out right away, we didn’t have to teach or show him anything. I just walked up to him and let him sniff the sachet, hid it, then said find it. At first he walked around with nose in air, and then would come back to sniff my hand to get scent again. Now he just finds them immediately.
It’s really cute to watch him walk around scent tracking, and when he finds them he runs back to us with sachet, very pleased with himself, waiting for treats.
I also play with these outside now; I’ll put a bunch of flower pots upside down and trays around the yard. I put him in a stay while I walk around picking up every pot, so he can’t see where I hide it. He always finds it right away.
We started using these when he was about 5 months old, and I don’t know if it’s the game or just age (he’s 10 months), but his tracking is amazing now. He has a friend who lives 5 neighborhoods down from us, and if that dog has been out within an hr or so, my pup drags me down to their house. He can also find every bit of rabbit, deer, and goose poop in my neighborhood… which is lovely for me, lol.

Great customer service & a good productI reached out to the seller to ask about ingredients because my dog ate part of one of the packets. I thought I remembered the ingredients from the Amazon listing but wanted to be sure there wasn’t anything else in it. By the way, our dog getting into it like this was completely our issue. The package does say ‘not for ingestion’ and I have always taken them from him immediately but unfortunately the kit had been left on the counter and my dog snatched one when no one was watching.
I’d already taken my dog to the ER to induce vomiting to make sure there were no issues (corncob and anise seeds can get stuck in the intestines and cause issues). My dog is fine. The seller immediately got back to me and we had a good discussion about labeling on the packaging to assist dog owners if this happens to them.
As far as the product goes, it comes with an instructional booklet to train your dog to touch the scented pouch with their nose. When they do that you reward them. You start with it literally in front of their face, then gradually get farther away. We have a working breed dog that needs both physical and mental challenges everyday to keep him calm and happy. This is another good tool in our tool belt to use when I need to give him an activity in the house especially in the rainy winter. I’m happy with the product and I’ve learned to put it on a high shelf when not in use.

Fun way to bond with your dog!I have 3 Australian Shepherds. They are totally spoiled and finding gifts for holidays/birthdays is getting challenging. I came across this looking for Christmas gifts and I am glad I found it. I started out with one dog and followed the instructions exactly. It did not take him long to figure it out. He was so excited when he found the bags I hid for him. This gave us an indoor game to play that didn’t create chaos. It was a calm bonding experience. The bags are durable and I did hang them up to dry before repacking them!! Important to remember that. They have a pleasant smell and my dog didn’t seem interested in tearing them open. I did immediately retrieve the bag from him once he found it to discourage any chewing though. I am excited to train my other dogs. Great rainy day activity.

Wonderful way to tire your dogFantastic, they were easy to train my dog to who had it down within two days. They work well, smell strongly but pleasantly and I can watch him track a scent trail I leave around the house or garden. It comes with a booklet that shows you how to train a dog to scentwork, which I roughly followed and had excellent results. The bags are durable enough and have handled a rough paw or two by my 40kg pup.
They were expensive but I honestly think they've been worth the money. This has become a fun way for to spend some brainpower on rainy days.
