The magnetic safety "mushroom" with space for two Fluonose Nano+ cans (1 piece included) is a clever decoy that can be a real scent challenge for your dog. Nine ventilation channels in the red button evenly distribute the aroma, and the built-in neodymium magnet allows for mounting on any metal surface - garage door, door, or training hall wall. No tools, no stress - just twist it by hand, insert the can, and you can start the new game!
Imagine your dog confidently using its nose in a scenario straight out of an industrial hall: a yellow cube, a red mushroom with the word STOP, and a tempting aroma wafting like mist from small holes. This is what training with our safety button dummy looks like. The gadget was created for all nosework enthusiasts – from home hobbyists, through sports trainers, to uniformed services looking for compact yet effective scent hiding spots that mimic their natural work environment.
The dummy has the typical color scheme for this type of button: a fiery red cap and a sunny yellow body. It is made of IMPACT material - crack-resistant, lightweight, and easy to clean. After training, rinse it in warm water with a bit of dish soap and it's ready.
Placing hiding spots at different heights – from paw level to the top edges of doors – opens a whole new dimension of work for your dog: it must lift its nose off the floor, precisely “suspend it” in the air, and read the vertical layers of the scent cone. Such training develops neck and back muscles, teaches the dog to maneuver its body consciously, and eliminates the routine of searching only “on the ground.” Thanks to the neodymium magnet in the base of our “mushroom,” you can attach it to a post, door frame, or beam under the ceiling in seconds, simulating different working conditions. Rotating the heights of hiding spots builds not only the dog's physical endurance but also its ability to think in three dimensions about scent, which practically shortens the time needed to locate the source and increases the confidence in marking.
Inside the set, there is one empty Fluonose Nano+ can. Its diameter (13 mm) perfectly fits the socket in the button, and the built-in magnet allows for quick installation. Want more options? Check out the Fluonose Nano category and replenish your stock of mini-cans in various colors to differentiate which scent has been placed inside.

If you don't plan to work with multiple scents at once, you can also find a smaller version of the "mushroom" dummy with a socket for one scent can in our offer.
Trainers recommend starting each session with a short “warm-up” – a simple search for containers – before moving on to more difficult, elevated hides. Only after warming up do you place the dummy 1 m above the ground on a metal pillar. Such high hides require the dog to lift its head and precisely suspend its nose, which naturally develops the skill of working in the upper layers of air.
Once your dog masters the single version, it's time for the next steps: deceptive scents, working in noise, or finally multi-stage sessions, where it must distinguish hidden containers from random stimuli in the environment. Thanks to the compact design of the dummy, you can take it literally anywhere – to a warehouse, an underground parking lot, or a train carriage – building an experience that a regular can thrown on the ground cannot provide.
