This Food Distraction Container is perfect for training or nose work trials.
Go to your fridge and put some scraps of food into as many of the containers as you have. Low value vegetables are a great place to start, then you can gradually work up to higher value foods as distractions.
You can even keep the loaded Food Distraction Containers in a plastic bag so that you can rotate them for a few training sessions.
There are 16 holes in the lid and the two halves of the container screw together. Unlike metal tins and containers, these vessels won't rust.
Colors: We try to keep all the colors in stock, but it's not always possible, especially during specials. if you are in a hurry for your order, we recommend specifying a second choice color. Orders can be delayed several days if we have to do a new 3D print run for a specific color.
Dimensions: 3/4"H x 2 5/16" DIA

Our nose work vessels are made of PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament which is a recyclable, natural thermoplastic polyester derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugar cane.
While PLA itself in its pure form is odorless, nontoxic, and considered food-safe, PLA filament is usually not because manufacturers use additives to make it tougher and print better, dyes for bright colors, etc. We researched to find materials that have certification documents showing they've been tested for toxicity and also that they are made with nontoxic dyes.
Here are some important tips for use and care of our nose work vessels:
- You can leave Q-tips in the vessel for short periods, but don't store them in the vessel for long periods. Essential oils react to ALL surfaces they come in contact with which can cause training problems because the reaction changes how the odor smells. Periodically change your Q-tips and clean the vessel.
- The vessels are NOT dishwasher-safe. They should be hand-washed in warm water (if your hands are not comfortable in the water, it's too hot!) using liquid dish soap. Towel dry or air dry.
- You can also clean out your vessels by wiping the inside with 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or using Zero Odor Spray.
- Temperatures above 110°F can warp products made from PLA so do not leave the vessels in direct sunlight or a hot vehicle for long periods of time.
