Surprise your dog (and neighbors) during scent training! Scent Hammer is a realistic hammer decoy with a hidden scent container that serves as an excellent optical distraction.
Equipped with a durable, sand-resistant thread and a safe ventilation system, it performs well in any conditions. The sturdy material and unique design make it a "must have" in every dog detective's arsenal.
Are you looking for a way to diversify your scent training? Do you feel like your dog is searching with its "eyes" rather than its nose, seeing yet another typical box or can? It's time to pull out the heavy equipment... more specifically, Scent Hammer! This is not just an ordinary toy – it's a clever training tool that looks like it was taken straight from a handyman's workshop, but in reality, it's used for hiding scents.
Scent Hammer is a brilliant optical distraction. For us, it's a hammer; for the dog – just another object in the environment that needs to be checked. This way, you teach your four-legged friend that the source of the scent can be hidden literally anywhere, even in everyday objects. It's a fantastic way to generalize scent and build the dog's confidence in unusual situations.
First of all, we focused on realism and functionality. The handle mimicking light wood and the graphite head make the gadget look very authentic. You can place it on grass, on the sidewalk, or on a table in the garden – it will blend perfectly into the background.
Scent Hammer is not just a pretty replica. After unscrewing the handle (which you can do with one quick motion!), you gain access to a special chamber. It is designed to perfectly fit Fluonose Nano+ cans. The can sits securely in the socket, with no annoying rattling that could distract more sensitive dogs.
If you don't have a Nano+ can on hand, you can easily throw in just the scent carrier – a cotton pad, felt, or a piece of wood soaked in oil. The material we made the hammer from is easy to keep clean. After training in mud or dust, just wash it in warm water with dish soap.
Designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Every element has its justification here.
Do you want to see how your dog handles the Scent Hammer in action? Here’s a suggestion for a simple yet effective "search area" exercise.
Preparation: Place a few safe objects associated with a workshop/garden on the grass or terrace, e.g., a piece of wood, an empty flower pot, a thick rope, and our Scent Hammer (with a hidden scent sample). Arrange them in a loose composition.
Task: The dog must ignore the other objects (which are just visual background) and precisely indicate the hammer as the source of the scent. Thanks to the realistic appearance of the hammer, the dog does not get a visual hint "oh, there's a nosework box!", but must rely 100% on its nose.
Remember that the Scent Hammer is intended solely for scent work – after finding and rewarding the dog, we hide the gadget. This is not a tug toy!
