The Scent Snowflake is a lightweight and durable platform with 25 slots for Fluonose Nano+ cans, designed for precise scent marking and working with distractors. Ideal for scent training at home and outdoors - even on snow. Includes 1 Nano+ can, with the option to add up to 5 pieces in the configuration.
The Scent Snowflake is a unique training platform designed for dogs working at the highest level of precision. This large, 25-centimeter snowflake features as many as 25 threaded sockets, allowing you to screw in Fluonose Nano+ cans in any configuration - from classic single scent marking to complex setups with multiple distractors. It is an excellent tool for both home scent training and advanced work with sporting dogs and dogs trained for scent detection.
The snowflake is designed to provide the dog with access to clear scent cones. Above each socket, there are special holes that release the scent directly towards the dog's nose. This way, even delicate samples are easily detectable, and the dog learns to mark correctly more quickly.
The snowflake stands on sturdy, 15-millimeter legs that provide stability while creating space underneath for the screwed-in cans. There is also a rib reinforcement system on the bottom, which makes the entire structure rigid and resistant to bending. Despite this, the product weighs only 80 grams, making it easy to take to any training or… hang on a branch or door handle, creating a hanging scent target.
Compared to classic discs, targets, and small scent panels, the snowflake allows for the preparation of very advanced scenarios. The large number of sockets enables the arrangement of complex scent matrices, where the dog must find one correct sample among many seemingly similar points. This is a great exercise for both sporting dogs and dogs training in nosework for fun.
If you are looking for something smaller and more mobile, check out our Mini Scent Mushroom - it is the perfect complement to the winter snowflake, especially when you want to work on quickly marking a single sample.
Remember that all Nano+ cans are sold without scents, so you can use any of your own materials - a cotton ball with oil, a natural sample, or a ready-made scent solution. The product can be safely washed in warm water with a mild detergent.
Matrix training is one of the most popular exercises used in scent work, especially when working on precision marking.

Why does it work?
The matrix of multiple scent points teaches the dog to work under the pressure of distractors. It also teaches it to calm down, read the scent precisely, and focus on one point. This is one of the most effective exercises for developing the confidence of a scent-working dog.
The Scent Snowflake is a tool that not only looks impressive but primarily allows you to elevate scent training to a higher level - both for beginner dogs and advanced competitors. With its large number of sockets, lightweight, dirt resistance, and excellent ergonomics, the snowflake becomes one of the most versatile and creative accessories in the world of scent work.
