Everything your sniffer dog needs for scentwork.
From first sniff to confident search dog, there's a kit made for every stage. Find yours below.
Starting out with Scentwork
Here's the secret nobody mentions: your dog already knows how to do this. The nose came fully assembled. Your job isn't to teach them to sniff. It's to show them that finding one particular scent is the best game going. That happy, eager face when your dog catches the scent? That's NoseJoy. And we reckon every dog deserves it, whatever their breed, age or talent for sitting still. Making that joy easy to reach is the whole reason we're here.
Our Ready to Sniff starter kits come with the odour already prepared and a step-by-step guide in the box, so you're never left holding a tin and wondering what on earth to do with it. And if you'd like the full how-to before your first search, we've written the whole thing down.
New to scentwork? Start here.
Our Ready to Sniff Starter Kits are designed to make your first steps into odour-based scentwork simple, clear and fun.
Inside each kit you’ll find pre-scented cotton buds in your chosen odour, two Sniffer Pots™ on bases, a magnetised aluminium tin, tweezers, gloves, a clicker, a blank lid and a printed guide with a QR code linking to our short beginner training video.
Choose from clove, anise or birch, follow the guide, and start building your dog’s confidence, focus and nosejoy from the very first search.
