Gday Cameron, what material did you use to create your 'focus boxes'. It looks like some form of plastic. Did you specifically source some kind of non / low odor material? Cheers mate.

It is HDPE... same material cutting boards are made of (anti bacterial) and very easy to clean :)

What do you do with a dog that is aggressive towards the odor?

[@FordK9]

We go back to Odor Pays Step 1 of training were the variables are reduced and we work on impulse control and focus and as we increase variable and distractions at this phase and we have clear consistent behavior and no aggression we move back up the steps. Negative punishment could be one of the methods in that step that is used to communicate as well as keep going signal as we build duration of focus and impulse control.
