How It Supports Truffle-Dog Training
The distinctive white truffle aroma can be used to introduce dogs to the scent they are expected to identify during truffle-hunting exercises. Controlled and repeated exposure helps the dog form an association between the training scent, the search exercise and the handler’s reward system.
The oil is intended to provide a consistent and convenient scent source for introductory exercises, scent discrimination, hidden-object searches and progressive outdoor training.
Recommended Training Use
Apply a small amount of oil to a cotton pad, scent container, training dummy or another object used specifically for scent exercises. Place the scented material in a secure training container whenever direct contact is not required.
A small amount may also be applied to a suitable food reward when this method forms part of the dog’s established training routine.
Use only a small quantity. Do not allow the dog to drink directly from the bottle or consume a large amount of oil.
Always supervise the training session. The purpose of the product is scent recognition and search training, not use as a nutritional supplement or as the dog’s main reward.
Suitable for Human Consumption
The oil is produced from edible ingredients and may also be used by people as a flavoured finishing oil. It can be added in small amounts to pasta, risotto, potatoes, eggs, sauces and other savoury dishes.
Although suitable for culinary use, this particular product is marketed primarily for canine scent training.
Storage and Handling
Keep the bottle tightly closed and follow the storage and best-before information printed on the packaging. Protect the product from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Keep out of reach of children and prevent uncontrolled access by animals.
