$4.00
Take the hassle out of training prep with our ready-to-use Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) pre-scented cotton swabs. Perfect for handler discrimination, container searches, or quick hide setups, these pre-scented swabs are crafted using the essential target odor recognized by premier canine detection and nosework organizations:
-
AKC (American Kennel Club) — Cypress is a key target odor used in upper-level AKC Scent Work trials.
-
USCSS (United States Canine Scent Sports)
-
Performance Scent Dog & More
(Note: While Birch, Anise, and Clove are standard across most registries, Cypress is a specialized target odor utilized extensively in advanced trialing systems like the AKC).
Trial-Ready Setup Guidelines
To help you prepare your dog for success, we recommend matching your training setups to the specific trial standards of your chosen venue:
-
AKC (Master & Detective Levels): Use 3 to 6 swabs per hide.
-
CPE: Use 2 to 4 swabs per hide.
-
Other Venues: Typically 3 swabs per hide to perfectly replicate official trial environments.
Pro-Trainer Tip: Regardless of the organization you run with, don't get stuck in a rut! Regularly vary the number of swabs you use during training hides. This prevents your dog from patterning on a specific scent volume, ensuring they confidently locate the source even when the odor concentration is weak or unexpected.
Premium Scent Quality & Packaging
A dog's nose is incredibly sensitive, which is why we scent our high-quality cotton swabs using only the finest, uncompromised essential oil.
-
Odor-Proof Packaging: To ensure maximum freshness and prevent contamination of your other training gear, our swabs are shipped in a resealable Mylar odor-proof bag. This heavy-duty barrier locks the scent inside until you are ready to train.
-
100% Pure Essential Oil: The oil used to scent our swabs contains absolutely zero synthetic fillers, carriers, or artificial additives that could alter the scent profile.
-
Therapeutic-Grade & Steam-Distilled: Our Cypress oil is gently steam-distilled from the aromatic branches of the Cupressus sempervirens tree to preserve its natural, deep green, woody aromatic signature.
-
Organically Cultivated Plants: The source plants are grown on farms committed to strict organic practices. No pesticides, synthetic herbicides, GMOs, or harsh chemicals are used at any stage of cultivation or distillation.
-
Batch-Tested & Pure: Every batch of oil undergoes rigorous laboratory analysis to ensure it is completely free of contaminants before it ever touches our swabs.
Convenient, clean, and perfectly dosed—just grab a swab and start training!
