Fluo Training Collar – Your secret weapon in teaching perfect marking! 🎯

Do you feel like your dog during nosework training is "pacing" with its paw on the sample, nibbling the boxes, or giving up too quickly on keeping its nose at the source of the scent? Or maybe you're looking for a way to explain to it that the reward doesn't fall from the sky (i.e., from you), but magically appears at the very heart of the scent? If you're nodding your head now, we have a game-changer for you. Introducing Training Collar - Target for Scentwork – a tool that will turn your training sessions into pure enjoyment and precision!

This is not just an ordinary tube printed on a 3D printer. It is thoughtful training engineering, designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, to solve the most common technical problems in scent work.

Construction that makes a difference 🏗️

The devil is in the details, and in the case of our collar, that detail is the double bottom. Inside the target, there is a removable, perforated shelf in a contrasting yellow color. This is not just an ordinary divider!

The shelf has openings in the shape of cute dog paws 🐾. They look great, but their main function is to allow free flow of scent particles from the bottom to the top, straight to your dog's nose. You can safely place (or toss through the back opening) even small treats on it without worrying that they will fall to the bottom into the scent can. It's hygienic and super convenient!

PETG vs the rest of the world – why does it matter? 💪

Many manufacturers printing 3D accessories use cheap PLA material. It is biodegradable, but unfortunately... weak. Just leave such equipment in a heated car during summer, and the collar may deform and "melt."

At Fluo.Dog, we don't cut corners. Our collar is made of PETG. This engineering material is characterized by:

• Temperature resistance – you can train calmly on hot days in the field.
• Flexibility – a fall on concrete won't end in cracking, as with rigid plastic.
• Ease of cleaning – did the collar get dirty with mud or saliva? Toss it into warm water with dish soap. PETG can handle it!

🎓 Sample training: "Magic Drawer"

Not sure how to start your adventure with the target? Here’s a simple training scenario that will help your dog understand that putting its nose in the collar = super reward. Remember, don't rush!

Stage 1: Building value (without scent)
Place the collar in front of the dog. Don't put any scent underneath yet. Prepare a handful of tasty treats. As soon as the dog shows interest in the collar and brings its nose close to the opening, quickly toss a treat through the back opening onto the yellow shelf.
Goal: The dog learns that the reward materializes inside the tube, not in your hand. The edge of the shelf will ensure the treat doesn't escape!

Stage 2: Adding scent
Lift the yellow shelf (just insert a finger through the paw opening or push from below) and place a scent sample (e.g., cinnamon in a Mini+ can) at the bottom. Cover it with the shelf. Now require the dog to put its nose deeper. When it does – immediately reward through the back opening.
Goal: The dog begins to associate the scent of cinnamon with the appearance of the reward.

Stage 3: Extending the time (Freeze)
When the dog eagerly puts its head in, delay the reward by a second, then two. The dog, waiting for the "magic delivery," will freeze in place, sniffing the source. This is the famous passive marking we are striving for! Thanks to the paw-shaped openings, the scent continuously stimulates the dog's nose, helping it maintain position.
