If you want to pre-train your detection dog to become a true specialist, start with the best training odor available. Forget Kong, tennis balls, and other non-unique scents. Choose NOTA – a scientifically designed target odor, developed by olfactory specialists and rigorously tested in the professional K9 community. This advanced training system builds a strong foundation without locking your dog into a specific career path too soon. Once your dog has mastered all seven levels, you’ll be ready to introduce the final target odor(s) with confidence. Train smarter with NOTA.

For decades, the detection dog world has faced the same challenge—how do we objectively test and calibrate our dogs? Target odors vary in purity, concentration, and behavior, making training inconsistent. But what if we had a scientifically designed, standardized training odor? Meet NOTA – Novel...

A new approach is changing the way we train detection dogs. No more bias, more scientific background, and a transparent process for trainers, handlers, vendors, and K9 units.
Are you still training with traditional odors that vary from batch to batch, risk contamination, and lack standardization? It’s time to rethink your approach. The introduction of NOTA marks a paradigm shift in detection dog training.

A novel odor training aid like NOTA is scientifically developed to offer consistency, objectivity, and flexibility—eliminating the challenges that come with using operational odors. Many detection programs unknowingly set their dogs up for false alerts, bias, and limited career paths by imprinting them on commonly found materials like Kong or by exposing them too early to operational odors like narcotics or explosives.

With NOTA, trainers can:
- Build a reliable foundation for green dogs
- Objectively test and calibrate detection dogs
- Standardize training and ensure accurate results
- Provide a neutral training odor that doesn’t interfere with future assignments

As technology and research continue to advance, the need for data-driven, objective, and legally defensible detection training will only grow. Trainers who integrate NOTA into their programs will stay ahead of the curve, ensuring their dogs meet the highest standards of reliability and effectiveness. ACT! is bringing NOTA to Europe! Your can now find it in our onlineshop www.detectiondogshop.com Are you ready to elevate your detection dog training? Read the my latest blog to learn more about NOTA

NOTA gives me the power to train with precision, stepping up and down through seven calibrated levels of odor concentration: 100x, 10x, 1x, 0.1x, 0.01x, 0.001x, and 0.0001x. With a scientifically proven approach, I can systematically teach my dog to detect even the most subtle scent variations.

But NOTA isn’t just a challenge for the dog—it challenges me as a trainer. Can I shape my dog’s skills to reach these extreme sensitivity levels?

By using NOTA as the foundation of training, adding new odors later becomes effortless. The first odor is always the hardest, but once a dog understands how to earn the reward, adapts to different odor strengths, and learns to ignore distractions, the transition to any operational target odor is smooth and efficient.

And because I’ve already built a solid foundation using blank and control TADDs with cellulose, NOTA’s carrier, I can be confident that my training is transparent, reliable, and scientifically sound.
Would you be ready to take your detection training to the next level? NOTA is the key. Find your Nota at detectiondogshop.com

A Game Changer in K9 Detection Training is Here!
Two years ago, while working in the USA, I was introduced to NOTA—Novel Odor Training Aid. From the very first moment, I was hooked. The science behind it, the possibilities it offers, and its potential to revolutionize the detection dog world were undeniable.

Now, I am excited to bring NOTA beyond the USA and make it available to you!

For 30+ years, I have seen countless training methods, tools, and theories come and go. Some worked, some didn’t. But one thing has remained the same—the need for consistent, reliable, and objective training methods for detection dogs.

We all know the challenges with traditional odor training:
- Variability in target odors leads to unreliable detection results
- Environmental factors like humidity, temperature and airflow affect odor behavior
- Dogs locked into one career path due to early imprinting on operational odors

With NOTA, those challenges disappear.
- Standardized & measurable training odor – NOTA is scientifically designed and validated
- Flexibility for young dogs – Imprint dogs without limiting their future career path
- Consistent testing system – Ensure accurate detection skills before deployment
- Court-admissible validation – Objective proof of a dog’s reliability

NOTA is the first fully controlled and standardized training odor, giving detection dog handlers a powerful new tool to train, test, and calibrate their K9 teams like never before.
And the best part? As a Vigilance Aid, NOTA can be used in public spaces like airports, transportation hubs, and shopping centers without legal or safety concerns—allowing real-world training without restrictions.

Dierentuinen, natuurbeschermers en veldonderzoekers kunnen zo geurmonsters veilig aanbieden zonder stress voor de dieren.
