Abstract
A collapsible scent training wheel for training animals to detect and respond to target scent material. The training wheel includes a support base configured to be positioned on a support surface and a rotatable carousel including a top plate and a plurality of support arms extending radially outward from the top plate. Each support arm has a first end rotatably connected to the top plate and a second end configured to be coupled to a scent receptacle. The training wheel also includes a hub assembly detachably mechanically coupling the rotatable carousel to the support base, wherein the hub assembly is configured to permit the carousel to rotate relative to the base. The connection between the first ends of each support arm and the top plate permits each of the support arms to rotate relative to the top plate between an open position and a collapsed storage position.
