Getxent K9 Odor Training Kit
When it comes to K9 detection training, it can be dangerous and hazardous for dog trainers to handle volatile materials such as Fentanyl and many explosives. Leerburg has worked with Getxent's patented technology to create our K9 Odor Training Kit. The kit has been designed by Ed Frawley to take the risk of working with these dangerous agents our dogs are expected to locate. The Getxent tube is an innovative polymer tube that can absorb and emit odors. It can also simulate a large quantity of your target scent. To absorb odors, simply place the target sample and the Getxent tube in an airtight container for a select amount of time. The chart below is an example that shows the duration required to simulate large quantities based on exposure to 1kg of target sample in an airtight container.| Links mentioned: Getxent K9 Odor Training Kit: https://leerburg.com/getxent-k9-odor-kit.php | Getxent Tube in Glass Bottle: https://leerburg.com/getxent-tube.php | Getxent Magnetic Odor Box: https://leerburg.com/getxent-magnetic-odor-box.php | Revolutionize Your Dog's Scent Detection Training with Getxent: https://leerburg.com/getxent.php
