A dispenser has an upper housing and a base. The upper housing has an upper housing enclosure for holding pet treats. The base has a lower housing and a dispensing member that slides within the lower housing. The lower housing has a lower housing enclosure. A spring biases the dispensing member between a first (closed) and a second (open) position. When the dispensing member is in the first position, items are able to travel from the upper housing enclosure, into the lower housing enclosure, and into a dispenser enclosure within the dispensing member. When the dispensing member is moved to the second position, items within the dispenser enclosure may be dispensed from the dispenser. The lower housing and the dispensing member may include blades to sever items that protrude from the dispenser enclosure when the dispenser member is moved from the first position to the second position.

Scratching apparatus 1 comprising a plurality of scratchable sacrificial elements 7 that can be assembled together to form a tower 5, and a base 3 having a first surface on which the tower 5 can be mounted so that the tower 5 is generally upstanding from the base 3 when the apparatus 1 is in use.

Provided herein are methods of making a training aid for detecting a biohazard, and related devices and methods of using the device, including a canine training aid. The devices are made by positioning a polymer layer in proximity and physically separated from a biological material, so that volatile organic compounds contact and bind or infuse the polymer layer. The device is made render-safe by inactivating the infused polymer layer, such as by heating to a temperature sufficient to inactivate biological agents on or in the analyte-infused polymer layer. The device can be stored in a substantially air-tight configuration for subsequent use in training, such as canine and/or or artificial detectors.

A pet toy is provided. The pet toy is shaped like a stylized animal and is generally disc shaped. The pet toy has one or more appendages such as feet which protrude outside of a generally circular perimeter formed by the pet toy body and cause the pet toy to jump and move irregularly when the pet toy is rolled along the ground, simulating an animal which is running along the ground. The pet toy provides increased mental and physical stimulation to an animal chasing the toy.
