FirstBarkKelty was knowledgable, kind, & flexible. She was timely & met us in all kinds of weather. (She is tough!) I appreciate her creative ideas about what our dog needed for his personality & spots to expose him to & train in. She also was super helpful with supplies for training & references for care. I highly recommend her!

So glad I went with Kelty! She meets you where you're at and what your needs are. I originally went in looking to get a more expensive package, she could have easily doubled how much she made off of me but instead was honest and found something that better fit my needs. She genuinely loves and cares for your pets, my dog was excited every time she saw her. I watched my dog change so much more in the last few weeks than I have in the year I've had her. I would recommend Scentsible K9 to all my friends!
I highly recommend Kelty for your dog training needs. She is knowledgeable, has spot on recommendations and ensures you have the core tools for success. Plus my dog Ellie loved working with her!
Kelty was patient with me and Turk! After the first session I believed we could concur our fears! I would recommend Kelty and Scentsible K9 Dog Training to anyone especially fearful owners! Thank you for helping us succeed!!
We absolutely couldn’t be more happy with the results with our dog sandy, let alone how understanding they were with our schedule! If you are looking for a great set of people to take care of your k9 friend look no further than scentsible k9 dog training
