VIDEO PREVIEW

Questions about how to learn more about the technique and how to obtain the training boxes utilized in this method of training are also growing in frequency. While it should be understood that the boxes themselves are nothing more than a tool in this technique, they are still a very important tool. It should be understood that the boxes do not do the training. The trainer does the training and the boxes are a clever tool that greatly assist the trainer in this technique. Please review the information on the boxes as well as the upcoming instruction.Schools and Seminars designed for Detection Dog Handlers and Detection Dog Trainers.

Detection Training Boxes

Single Training Box - Front View During the past several months Alpha K-9 has worked closely with engineers to help design a more efficient and effective “Detection Training Box”. Utilizing exact measurements and contracting professional cabinet designers to insure exact fits and durability are just a few of the measures taken to help devise the perfect training tool. Utilizing a sealant (common in most every piece of furniture and cabinet) reduces the amount of moisture absorbed by the wood (dog odor, saliva, dirt etc) allowing the box to be wiped clean with a moist cloth. For those planning to buy one box so they can take it apart and build their own, if you ask somebody who has tried this, I think they would readily tell you that there is much less headache and backache in just purchasing the finished product.

Single Box - Rear View The price of each individual box is $149.00 and is sold and shipped in crates containing 5 boxes per crate bringing the price of one crate to $745.00 excluding shipping. 10 boxes is enough to set up a short-rack and have 3 or 4 boxes designated for different substances. Each box weighs just over 14 Pounds bringing the shipping weight to just over 70 pounds. The integrity of the boxes is protected in shipping by wrapping the boxes to protect from outside contamination. View photos and particulars about the new boxes by visiting our Gallery

NOTE: For those wishing to purchase only one box as a pattern…price for one box is $199.00 plus shipping.
