Real Questions from Real Dog Owners
What Is The Scent
Birch, Anise, Cypress and Clove. We use Birch for our seeder program. If you want to know more about why we choose this scent and not a different one here is our safety sheet.
How does public access work?
We’re currently building our Seeder Program — the first stage of public access.
Founding members who join now will get lifetime map access as part of helping us launch local Geo-Sniffing zones.

Are the pods refillable?
Nope! Unlike most scent gear, Geo-Sniffing pods don’t need to be refilled.
They’re built to last outdoors for 5+ years, holding their scent through every season — no upkeep, no mess, just play.
Can the pods open?
Nope! The scented pods stay sealed — there’s no reason to open them.
Only the Decoy Yummy Pod and Handler Pod are meant to be opened.
How do I store the pods?
However you want! There’s no need to keep them away from your dog — even in a scent-filled house, they’ll still pinpoint the right one.
I make every pod in my 1,300 sq. ft. home, and my dogs still find the source instantly.
We include tape and a baggie for beginners to make the scent lighter for dogs who need a gentler start.
Is this safe for my dog? Can my dog chew or swallow it?
Yes — Geo-Sniffing pods are built for safety and durability.
They’re large enough that big dogs can’t swallow them and easy for handlers to spot during missions.
Your dog can mouth or carry the pod, but it’s not designed for unsupervised chewing.
If your dog picks it up or brings it back, don’t worry — the pods can handle a little slobber and enthusiasm.
Most dog owners pay $30 for one class
Here, the same $30 gets you an entire training system.

Still On The Fence?
Will my dog understand how to play?
Yes! The kit comes with a step-by-step Hide Guide. Most dogs pick it up quickly, and the levels make it fun for beginners and pros.
What if my dog isn’t food motivated?
You can reward with a game of tug, fetch, or whatever your dog loves most. The sniffing is the real challenge — the reward just reinforces it.
What if my dog is reactive?
Geo-Sniffing is a solo sport — no other dogs or people needed. It’s perfect for building confidence and focus in reactive dogs, since it taps into their natural instincts in a calm, controlled way.
I can’t play consistently — is that a problem?
Not at all. Once your dog learns how Geo-Sniffing works, they don’t forget. Whether you play every day or once a week, your dog will jump right back in, ready to sniff and search. You don’t lose progress — it’s like riding a bike, but with a nose.
Do I need a fully trained dog to real world Geo-Sniff?
Not at all. Geo-Sniffing is a two person sport. While your pup is learning, you can use the map to find pods yourself. Most dogs catch on in just a few sessions, and the map keeps you exploring together from day one.
How does this compare to toys or puzzles?
Puzzle toys tend to become repetitive once your dog figures them out. Geo-Sniffing is dynamic — each hide is different based on your home, yard, or environment. In fact, clutter and lived-in spaces are a good thing — they create fresh hiding spots and unpredictable scent trails.
Unlike puzzles, the challenge doesn’t stay the same. It naturally evolves as your surroundings (and your dog’s skills) change.
Isn’t my dog too old (or young) for this?
As long as they have a nose, they can play. Puppies learn confidence and problem-solving. Seniors stay sharp and engaged without physical strain. The game adjusts to any age.
Is this okay for a small space or apartment?
Totally. Geo-Sniffing works in any environment — even a studio. Hide the pods behind doors, furniture, or under rugs.
Can’t I just make something like this myself?
Sure — in fact, we include DIY tips if you want to get creative. But our kits come with competition-grade target scents used in AKC-style scent work, plus seasonal scent options to build your dog’s scent repertoire and keep things exciting. You’re not just buying gear — you’re unlocking variety, progression, and pro-level training tools.
What's the difference between founder pod and starter kit?
Founder Pods are special — they’re made for the people helping us build Geo-Sniffing from the ground up.
When you join the Founder Program, you’ll get two additional Seeder Pods to help launch your local map and become one of the first players in your area.
They’re for our trailblazers, early believers, and adventure junkies — the ones who want to be part of something bigger than playtime.
