Treasure Valley Dog Training Focused on Calm, Confident Behavior.
Behavior-focused dog training in the Treasure Valley — built on safety, clarity, and trust.
Helping dogs and their humans work with behavior — not against it.
At Scentsible K9 Training, we help dogs and owners overcome behavior challenges by addressing what drives behavior at the root — not just the symptoms.
Most issues like leash pulling, jumping, reactivity, poor recall, or anxiety don’t come from a “bad dog.”
They come from overwhelm, confusion, or stress in a human world.
Our job is simple…
✔ Help dogs feel safe.
✔ Help owners lead with confidence.
✔ Help calm, reliable behavior take shape naturally.
Proudly serving Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the Treasure Valley

Corrections make things worse.
It’s hard for them to listen.
When dogs feel unsafe or unsure, their nervous system shifts into survival mode.
It’s hard for them to listen.
Commands don’t stick.
Corrections make things worse.
Dogs aren’t choosing to misbehave. They’re trying to cope.
Commands don’t stick.
Calm behavior starts with safety —not force.
We work with families across the Treasure Valley looking for dog behavior training, reactive dog training, obedience training, and puppy training — and we see the same pattern again and again.
That’s why punishment and correction often fail — and why our training focuses on nervous system regulation first.

It’s built on three pillars:
Safe

Angela w/ Panda
“I adopted a dog that unknowingly had incredible fear and anxiety which caused huge trust issues. She was so much help with knowledge and has helped me work with her, help get her comfortable with new environments as she was kept in a kennel most her life.
With just a couple sessions my dog was already striving and gaining confidence quicker than I thought could happen. I could not imagine life without this dog now! She is the best dog and without Kelty’s help I’m not sure she would have had the chance to show me what a wonderful companion she is.
We exist to help dogs feel safe in a human world — and to help owners become calm, confident leaders their dogs can trust.
Because the right dog training doesn’t just change behavior.
It changes relationships.
