General Disclaimer

The information and tools provided by SniffQuest (“https://www.sniftag.com”) cover dog scent-work training and enrichment only, for general educational purposes. Everything here is offered in good faith, but we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, or completeness of any information or result on the site.

Any use of the information or tools is entirely at your own risk. It is your responsibility to ensure the results meet your dog’s specific needs and circumstances, and to verify them before acting.

Training & Enrichment Only — NOT Veterinary or Medical Advice

SniffQuest is a training and enrichment resource. Nothing on this site — including the Dog Treat Calorie Calculator, which references a standard resting-energy-requirement formula for general context — is veterinary, medical, diagnostic, or nutritional advice for your individual dog. We do not evaluate your dog’s health, weight, diet, or any medical condition, and no tool on this site should be used to make a health, feeding, or treatment decision. For anything about your dog’s health, weight, diet, or a medical concern, always consult a licensed veterinarian.

A Training Aid, Not Certified Instruction

SniffQuest’s calculators — the scent-work training planner, the nose work scoring calculator, the scent-hide difficulty planner, the breed scenting aptitude explorer, and the training session timer — are designed to help you plan and track scent-work training sessions. They do not constitute certified dog-training instruction, behavioral therapy, or official competition scoring. For a dog showing fear, stress, reactivity, or aggression during training, consult a certified professional dog trainer or a veterinary behaviorist rather than relying on this site.

Results Are General Estimates

The tools apply standard formulas and common training conventions, and round their output for readability. That means a displayed value is a starting point, not a guarantee — your individual dog’s age, breed, temperament, health, and training history all affect what actually works. Adjust every plan, budget, or rating to your dog, and stop or slow down if a session isn’t going well.

Why a Result May Look Off

A calculator can return a surprising or extreme answer when:

• Units are mismatched: entering pounds where kilograms are expected (or the reverse) changes the answer entirely.
• Inputs describe an unrealistic scenario: for example, an unusually low or high calories-per-treat figure, or a difficulty plan with an implausible session count.
• The model doesn’t fit your dog: activity multipliers and difficulty ramps are general-purpose defaults, not a substitute for watching how your own dog responds.

No Warranty

SniffQuest expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that our tools, calculations, or information are error-free or complete, or that the website will be available without interruption.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SniffQuest shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages — including training setbacks or other losses — arising out of or related to your use of our tools and services.
