Cops Your Dog

Important: NEVER leave CopsYourDog boxes within your dog’s reach unsupervised—they could chew on them and get hurt. Keep an eye on them at all times.

Hello, Dog Lovers!

What is CopsYourDog?

CopsYourDog is a fun tool that helps teach your dog to search for objects based on a specific scent, like a police or rescue dog. It’s a great way to engage your dog’s natural instincts while spending quality time together.

Getting Started

Print several CopsYourDog boxes (2 or more). Place them 30 cm apart, and put a scented item, like a tea bag, in one box. Ask your dog to sniff an empty box, then move on to the next. When they find the scented box, reward them with a treat or petting.

Repeat this process, changing the box order. Your dog will soon associate the scent with a reward and eagerly search for it.

Raising the Difficulty

Place the CopsYourDog boxes in a room, then let your dog search. When they find the scented box, have them signal by sitting or placing a paw on it, then reward them. Gradually increase the challenge by hiding the scented item in different locations around the house.

Safety First

Once your dog associates a scent with a reward, they might search for it outside of playtime. To avoid this, use a scent like tea that your dog only encounters during the game. Store the training scent in a secure place.

Conclusion

CopsYourDog is a simple yet effective way to have fun with your dog while enhancing their scent-detection skills. Enjoy the process and watch your dog’s incredible sense of smell in action!
