Nature's Enrichment

Sniffing fulfills a major part of a dog's sensory needs, requiring mental energy to work those amazing noses! Scentwork acts as mindfulness for dogs, providing nervous or anxious dogs with something to focus on.

All dogs can benefit from Scentwork, from puppies to seniors, including dogs on reduced physical exercise and those who are over-reactive. Nosejoy is for every dog!

Made in the UK

Made by Experts..

The Sniffer Shop, founded in early 2024 by Kate Hart, a Gold Level UK Sniffer Dog instructor, and teamed with her husband Marcus, combines Kate’s expertise in scentwork with Marcus’s thoughtful craftsmanship.

From handy vented nosework tins to carefully curated trainer starter kits, we’ve got everything you need for your scentwork journey. Many of our products are proudly designed and made in-house, ensuring they meet the needs of both handlers and their canine detectives.

Tested by Experts..

At The Sniffer Shop, our expert team includes more than just humans—our dogs are essential members of the Sniffer Team! Every product we create is rigorously tested by our canine sleuths during real scentwork sessions. From sniffing out odours in nosework tins to navigating fun line-ups, our four-legged testers ensure each item is practical, durable, and perfectly suited for the job.

With their noses leading the way, you can trust that our equipment meets the highest standards—approved by the experts who matter most.

The Sniffer System

Modular line-ups are a fun and effective way to build your dog’s scentwork skills while setting them up for success. They help your canine detective learn to search methodically while you get to refine your handling skills.

Starting with a simple line of pots, boxes, or bags creates a structured, confidence-building foundation before progressing to more advanced free searches.

At The Sniffer Shop, we’ve developed The Sniffer System—a versatile setup designed with both beginners and seasoned sniffers in mind. Our sturdy metal pots with vented lids are designed by us, made in the UK and built to last. Use them for pairing scents, creating linear searches, or arranging challenging patterns to take your training to the next level.

    Using Tins for Scentwork

    Aluminium scentwork tins really bring a lot to the table for scent work training with pet dogs. They keep the scents unaltered, are just the right size for hiding, and have the perfect amount of ventilation. Plus, they're affordable and easy to use anywhere.

    Exploring the Use of Red Kong™ in ScentWork

    In this article, we're talking about one of my go-to target odours for Scentwork training, and how to prepare gunoil soaks for Scentwork for dogs both new to gunoil and those more experienced with the odour.
  • The Essential Scent Box

    I bought the kit to practice for our sniffer dog exam. It’s easy to use and there is so much included. Really good value for the price. I bought the gun oil separately. My German Shepherd passed his Silver level Sniffer dog exam!

  • Metal Bolt Hides

    Great idea. Ideal to hide away, and get the dog thinking rather than looking for a tin.

  • 15ml Aluminium tins with holes pack of 3

    Very useful tins making it possible hide the scent in everyday items or stock to metal, such as chair legs, garage door, cars etc. a great help when teaching your dog more variety of finds.

  • Olympic Scent Kit

    Absolutely love the Olympic themed scentwork tins. We had so much fun using these around the garden. Neroli is always up for a challenge, great for mental stimulation. We used for our target odours cloves & truffle oil. 10/10 highly recommend 👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍

  • Fake Truffles

    Fake Dog Training Black Truffles. Fantastic idea and the quality is superb, very sturdy and the truffle consists of two parts that screw together, I love using this truffle, my Labrador loves searching for the truffle oil scent I have put inside. The fake truffle has vented holes so my dog can detect the scent. 🙌👌🤩

  • Sniffer System Pots

    These pots are excellent and work well with the magnetic tin . I liked them so much I purchased the whole system and reordered

  • Portable Scent Kit - Kong

    Having pieces of a red kong already cut up, saving me having to cut up the one I have, complete with magnetic tin and vials for such a reasonable price. Would have cost me so much more to buy each part individually. Also arrived quickly and my dog loves his scent work
