My name is Kelty Forman! I am the owner and head trainer of Scentsible K9. I’m inspired to keep my work focused, personal, and full of love. My goal is to work directly with every client, without outsourcing to other trainers, so I can truly connect with both the dogs and their owners. I believe real training goes beyond commands—it’s about understanding the root of each owner’s unique challenges and traumas, and helping them overcome those to build a strong, lasting bond with their dog. I want to be there for every step of the journey, providing the support and guidance that creates a relationship built on trust, respect, and love. For me, this work is about more than just training—it’s about transformation, both for the dog and for the owner, in a way that can only come from true connection.
My journey began after working countless hours in doggy day cares, groom shops and vet offices. I discovered a love for canine psychology while working towards my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Boise State University. After receiving my degree, I volunteered with the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation in Santa Paula, California. During this, I also started a successful side business dog sitting and dog walking.
Not long after, I took on an internship at Fowler K9 Academy, previously known as Blue Line K9 before I transitioned to a full-time trainer role at Tip Top K9 in Idaho. I then went on to complete a Police K9 handler course and earned a certification as a Narcotics Detection team with my yellow lab, Barley, through the High Desert Police K9 Association. Additionally, I completed the Behavior Shaping E-Collar/Laser course through Paraclete K9 as well as seminars through both The Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers and Method K9. In 2024, I certified as a Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluator under the American Kennel Club (AKC). I am currently undergoing my instructor certification under the National Association of Canine Scent Work and K9 Nose Work. These experiences and certifications are continuing to provide me with a unique approach to dog training that I bring to every session.
