An assembly for scent training an animal, such as a detection or sniffer dog, is presented herein. The assembly includes a scent pod defining a pocket with an at least partially open top. The assembly also includes a food bowl defining a bowl body and a raised scent distribution column surrounded by a food receiving trough region.
