Question 1

How much does dog training cost in Meridian or Boise Idaho?

Accepted Answer

Private training packages at Scentsible K9 Training start at $1,500 for 5 sessions, with options up to $2,000 for 10 sessions. Payment plans are available. Group classes are also offered at a lower price point.

Question 2

What is nervous system based dog training?

Accepted Answer

Nervous system based dog training addresses the root cause of behavior rather than suppressing symptoms. Before teaching commands, we assess whether the dog is regulated enough to actually learn. A dog in survival mode cannot process new information. Scentsible K9 Training uses this approach for reactive, anxious, and aggressive dogs in Meridian, Boise, and the Treasure Valley.

Question 3

How long does reactive dog training take?

Accepted Answer

Most dogs show meaningful progress within 4 to 8 sessions depending on the severity of their reactivity. Our Behavior Transformation package of 8 sessions is the most popular choice for reactive dogs in the Treasure Valley.

Question 4

Can you train an aggressive dog?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Scentsible K9 Training specializes in dogs with aggression, reactivity, and anxiety. We address the nervous system state driving the aggression rather than suppressing the behavior. We serve Meridian, Boise, Eagle, Nampa, and surrounding areas.

Question 5

What is the difference between a reactive and aggressive dog?

Accepted Answer

Reactivity is an overreaction to a trigger — lunging, barking, pulling — usually driven by fear or overstimulation. Aggression involves intent to harm. Many dogs labeled as aggressive are actually reactive. Both respond well to nervous system regulation work, which is the foundation of The Scentsible Method.

Question 6

Do you use shock collars or prong collars?

Accepted Answer

Scentsible K9 Training focuses on behavior change through nervous system regulation, clarity, and relationship. We do not rely on aversive pressure or pain-based tools. Our approach is especially effective for anxious and reactive dogs who have not responded to traditional methods.
