Is there really any doubt in people’s minds that ScentLogix is the equivalent or better than using “the real stuff” for search dogs? If so, these must be trainers who have never used it. I cannot speak for your explosives products, but I can for your narcotic lines. Here is my story...

Hello David,
I am writing to express my delight at my company Celtic K9
Security being the first company/organisation to be approved to
use your products in the United Kingdom. After speaking to a few
well known trainers in the U.S.A. and receiving nothing but
positives about your products I decided the only thing to do was
try them myself. I am so pleased with the products even right
down to the way they are packed and the support and advice from
David over the phone. See the video I posted using your heroin
products at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNpDStEBABA. Your
products are great! I will use nothing but Scentlogix products
in the future for training my Detection Dogs. I am not using the
products because I don't have access to live scents, I am Home
Office licensed to carry live drugs for the purpose of dog
training, the reason I use them is because they are better to
train with than the "real stuff". We are only allowed small
amounts of live drugs for training purposes and this poses
problems if we conduct a search where large amounts are present,
this will not pose a problem for any dogs trained by Celtic K9
Security from now on as Scentlogix products will not only allow
the dog to give a good positive indication at source for small
amounts, but also larger, more substantial amounts too. I am
soon to be ordering Scentlogix Explosive products to be used for
the training of Explosive Detection Dogs, by using these
products it allow us to carry out real-life training scenarios
without endagering the public, whether it be drugs or
explosives.
I am proud to be associated with Scentlogix products and
consider David Adebimpe to be a friend on the other end of the
phone should I need advice, I am positive that by using
Scentlogix products the reputation of Celtic K9 Security trained
dogs will grow and grow. I look forward to a long and successful
partnership with Scentlogix and recommend their products to
anyone helping in the fight against drugs and terrorism.

“So to all new bomb dog trainers who find
themselves looking for training information I would recommend
this product. I would also pass a caution that you always need
to keep an open mind. Just about the time you think you know
everything a new training concept wanders in and challenges you
and your old school training ideas.”

Dear ScentLogix,
Your product was totally amazing! Benny had NO TROUBLE alerting
on the 'Real Stuff"! The demos went BRILLIANTLY!! when working
with pseudo stuff before, Benny would always hesitate as if to
say..."I KNOW you want me to pick this one...but this is NOT the
real thing!" :-)
Thank you for the AMAZING service and tool you are providing to
all who wish to train their K-9s for narcotics and explosives
detection! You are a true Patriot!!
I hope your Holidays will be blessed! Again, THANK YOU for ALL
you help!!
Warmest wishes!!!

Hi Dave,
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. The scent kit is
getting allot of use by our dogs here. I think overall its
helping them be more proficient on multiple odors. We usually
mix them with the conventional explosives already in our scent
kits. not much protocol training was done. we initially just set
the odors in random hides and let the dogs work it out. some had
trouble on the rdx initially. the other odors they responded on
like any other odor they were trained on. I tend to use the kit
allot when i am out in sector during search operations as i feel
safer carrying them when i need to do a drop aid to keep the my
K9 working and interested.
My opinion is that they are a great asset to have in ADDITION to
our traditional kit.
Sincerely,
SGT James Hxxxxx

Dear David,
I just want to thank you for enhancing the training
opportunities for Police K-9’s. I purchased the ScentLogix
Heroin and Cocaine approximately 8 months ago and have been
using it regularly ever since. I combine the ScentLogix training
aids with the “live” narcotics obtained from the D.E.A. every
training session. The dogs that I have trained have had
ABSOLUTELY no problems finding the “live” narcotics thanks to
the ScentLogix training aids.
The ScentLogix training aids are very impressive due to the high
volume of odor vapor (what we would call pounds/ounces/grams).
It is impossible for me as a trainer to obtain 500 pounds of any
controlled substance. And where would one store such a large
amount of narcotics? The ScentLogix training aids allow me to
expose my dogs to high thresholds of controlled substance odor.
The ScentLogix training aids are very compact and lightweight.
This allows me to easily store them in my freezer and use them
on a daily basis. I also “supersoak” several cottonballs with
the ScentLogix training aids and then hide the cottonball in
various locations for the K-9’s to alert to.
The ScentLogix training aids are priced appropriately and worth
every penny of your investment! Your K-9 will be much more
reliable while on the street if you combine the ScentLogix
training aids with your “live” training aids. Every K-9 street
cop cringes when their dog “walks a hide” while on a search. If
the ScentLogix training aids are used, your dog should not be
walking any more hides while deployed on the street. Narcotic
odor varies from Region to Region. California Cocaine may not
smell the same as Indiana Cocaine to a Narcotic Detector Dog.
The ScentLogix training aids assist the K-9’s with immediate
odor recognition followed by the final response
(aggressive/passive) alert.
In 2009 I trained 2 dogs that competed at the United States
Police Canine Association’s National Narcotic Detector Dog
Trials held in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The dogs that I
trained got 1st and 2nd place out of numerous dogs from various
departments from the United States. Both of these dogs train
regularly with the ScentLogix training aids!
I highly recommend ScentLogix for any K-9 Team that wishes to
broaden their training horizons and make their K-9 more reliable
on the street.

Dear David:
RE: TESIMONIAL FOR THE SCENTLOGIX TRANING AIDS BUNDLE
We are writing in support of your extremely well designed
training aids for use in detection canine work and training.
We have used several products over the many years we have been
in business and find the ScentLogix aids to be the finest and
most definitive product we have ever used. The effectiveness of
these products is attested to by the reaction (alert) of our
canines. We utilize both narcotics and explosives detection
canines and watching the similarity of the alert to the
ScentLogix aids and the genuine scents is remarkable. In
training, the alert of our canines is as sharp and concise as
when we are using the ‘real’ products.
There are other benefits as well. For example, our handlers
report feeling more confident while using your product. The
ScentLogix aids, being based on parent scent, appear clearer and
more easily detectable than pseudo or NESTT products.
We have very restrictive laws in Canada concerning the handling
of explosives and narcotics. These training aids allow for a
broader set of training scenarios. We can take them anywhere,
keeping our canines and handlers up to date while staying within
our provincial and federal laws.
We will continue to exclusively use the ScentLogix™ aids and
look forward to our mutual success.
Kindest regards,

From Yann Lesourd. He bought the ScentLogix "Signature
Series" SSE 100 Explosives Detection Bundled Kit...
Hello,
I am fully satisfied with your products. I had an intern that I
trained on your products and after three months I spent on the
dog real explosives and dogs found them all without any
problems. I've made a little video put on youtube. I attached my
testimony in french you can put on your site. I had a question
about the Dynamite. That's Dynamite calendar (based on ammonium
nitrate) or military (Nitroglycerin)?

chiens à l'Intervention, la détection de Stupéfiants, la
détection d'Explosifs etc ... Depuis 03 mois, j'utilise les
produits Scentlogix-k9 pour la détection d'Explosifs et j'ai pu
constater une réelle aide à la formation sans utiliser des
charges dangereuses et parfois instables. A la différence des
produits de synthèse, il n'y a aucuns décalages. C'est un
produit révolutionnaire dans l'aide à la formation et
transportable en tous lieux. Je recommande vivement les produits
Scentlogix.

Well David, I am very impressed with
ScentLogix training aids. When I flew in to KY USA to attend the
2009 Police K9 HITS Seminar I had no Idea I would be introduced
to such a great product. Prior to demonstrating on demo day I
had no access to Narcotics. This is where I met you and was
introduced to ScentLogix (and I'm glad for that). Before the
demonstration I had a little concern so I tested it on my K9
"Nitro". He had never smelled ScentLogix product before and I
was interested to see what he would do. I took 4 clean training
boxes and had someone properly place the ScentLogix Cocaine
imprint aid in one of the boxes. The boxes were placed outside
in the hotel parking lot. We were parked down wind of the boxes
and Nitro was in odor as soon as I opened the truck door. I let
him go to the boxes on his own about 40 to 50 feet away and he
ran and sat with intensity on the box with the ScentLogix
Cocaine in it and stared at the box. I was more than thrilled!!
Since then I have been using ScentLogix Training aids. I love
the fact that I can use a high quality training aid anywhere I
go with no issues. I now train with out having to worry about
anything. No more worries about paperwork, shrinkage, location,
or Safety. This product is so easy to handle, use and hide. I
have personally seen ScentLogix tested on other K9's and with
success.
Good Job David!!

"I am currently working a young dog for
detection of narcotics. At this stage of training my narcotics
detecting K9 was pretty accurate, although some hesitation from
time to time. I was a little nervous about introducing, what I
thought would be a “new” variable to our already progressive
training schedule.
My dog indicated stronger than ever on the ScentLogix Cocaine
Scent training aid. Since our initial trial, I have progressed
more than I thought possible, and now have no reason to look
back.
I took, what I thought was, a real chance with our training. I
did because I never liked the risk involved with possible
exposure. What I found was an absolute safe product that is able
to take all the guess work out of training.
In my “experiment” I obtained only one of the scents. I am now
convinced the ScentLogix training aids are all I will ever need.
Not only has this product sped up our efficiency training, but I
now feel even more confident in my dog to be effective in any
situation!
Thank you, ScentLogix!!"

"Winstar Nightwatch Kennel, Inc. DBA:
WinstarprK9 has been training dogs in narcotics detection for
several years. Our program is built on the utilization of
narcotic pseudos during training and real drug for
certification. We consider the safety of our dogs our number one
priority and have found effectiveness and accuracy in our
methodology. This is demonstrated in our success rate during
certification.
This year we introduced ScentLogix (cocaine) in our training
program. The results were significant. Our new trainees hit and
retained the scent in half the time it took with the other
pseudos. Our experienced narcotic detectors were more motivated
and assertive when utilizing the ScentLogix pseudos. We highly
recommend this product and look forward to further developing
our narcotics detection program with ScentLogix as our primary
tool."

"I have been training my narcotics canine
Zoey with both DEA narcotics and evidence narcotics up till just
recently. When training with my evidence narcotics I always
noticed a quick change in behavior with my canine. When I train
with my DEA narcotics it actually takes my canine longer to
locate the narcotics. I only use my evidence narcotics that are
tested by the state lab and found only to contain pure
narcotics. DEA narcotics are over 10 years old due to the fact
that the DEA has to hold them in evidence during the 10 year
federal appeals deadline. My local street narcotics only have to
be held as evidence for 10 days after court due to the 10 day
appeals deadline here in Virginia. I am not a scientist but I
can come to the logical conclusion that over time the odor fades
away or may even change as the narcotics break down over time. I
am also sure that the evidence narcotics also get contaminated
with other narcotics odors while being stored. I have recently
trained Zoey with the Scent Logix odors. I DID NOT have
to train my canine to alert on them, she alerted to them just
like the were the real thing. By having training aids of this
type I know exactly what odors my dog is smelling since they are
not handled by some evidence clerk who is going to just throw
the marijuana in the locker with the cocaine and have the odors
all contaminated. In addition since these are non-narcotics I
can train with them in public places like ball fields and even
on public side walks. There is no security risk, no hazard to
the public and my canine seems to be getting better by using
Scent Logix. These training aids should be part of any canine
training program."

"My first experience with Scentlogix-K9
ScentKits was at the 2009 LAWDOG seminar conference held in Las
Vegas. We were about to do a demonstration of our training and
handling technique which combines scent detection and bite-work
when we realized that there were no narcotics available for the
demonstration. We then acquired a ScentLogix-K9 heroin training
aid from the ScentLogix vendor stand and appropriately planted
it, and the demonstration commenced with our narcotics detector
k9 doing an area search. I must say that I was very impressed
with my first-time use of the ScentLogix heroin aid. Our
narcotics-detecting k9's alert on the aid was both instantaneous
and with absolute certainty. The scent was initially hidden
under a suitcase and my K9 actually pushed the suitcase aside
and pulled the training aid out from under the suitcase. After
that, the training aid had to be moved into the suitcase due to
continued alerting by the K9. In fact, throughout the
demonstration, our K9 would continuously go back to the
suitcase, scraping and scratching at it in an attempt to get it
open, and it was very obvious that the K9 was sure that there
were definitely narcotics within the suitcase. This confirms to
me that ScentLogix narcotic training aids surely do work, stand
up to your claim as being a gold standard in detector-K9
training aids.
I have no hesitation in purchasing them
and using them for our training and demonstration purposes both
in the field and in civilian populated areas and will have no
hesitation in recommending them to those that might need
non-hazardous narcotic training aids for the same purpose. We
commend you for making a first-class training aid and making
them available for trainers and handlers alike."

"We have been using a ScentLogix-K9
training aid for a few months now. Being a trainer, as well as a
police sergeant with 17 years of law
enforcement experience, I have had the opportunity to test
several different training aids / odors. I have not liked any of
them! That is until I found ScentLogix. If you recall when we
first spoke, I was very skeptical. This was due to my past
experiences with other products. Your product has changed my
opinion and I am glad we found it. Not only did we utilize your
training aid with our newest K9 team during their basic class,
we have had the opportunity to train with several K9 teams from
surrounding cities. All of the K9 teams had a very positive
experience with your product. In fact, many of them should be
ordering from you soon.
ScentLogix-K9 training aids make sense. They are safer, easier
to handle, are not hazardous and take up less room when storing.
ScentLogix-K9 training aids allows the handler to train without
worry. Your product works great and is well worth every penny!
Thanks again for a great product!"

"I want to thank you for putting out a product of this
quality. My explosives detection dog was initially imprinted on
live TATP, but due to my location, safety concerns, and the lack
of live training aids, I was more than a little concerned about
his retention of the odor. I received your Scentlogix TATP, set
up an up-wind find, and he immediately went to source and gave a
very strong alert. For the next six months I trained
intermittently with the aid, and the next time he was exposed to
live odor, he impressed me with a very quick and, very strong
alert. In fact the other trainers couldn’t believe that it had
been over a year since he had last been exposed to live TATP.
With ScentLogix TATP, there was no need for any re-imprinting. I
am absolutely sold on this product. Thank you."
