Bozeman Dog Training + K9 Nosework


If you own a working or performance dog, you have come to the right place.

Finding the right dog trainer in Bozeman can be challenging.  Working dogs have drives that need to be fulfilled.  


Dogs without proper training and direction are often misunderstood, mislabeled, and almost always mishandled. 


The Canny Canine provides active training solutions through K9 Nose Work and Obedience.  We have helped many handlers create a better relationship with their dog through appropriate boundaries, training, and education.  We produce successful competitors.  More programs will be added as demand increases.


We welcome all teams and breeds regardless of experience.

Please Note:  Dogs with Human or Dog Reactivity will require assessment.  

All dogs must be under control at all times.

Obedience Training

K9 Nose Work Training

K9 Nose Work Training

The Canny Canine proudly offers one of the most unique obedience training programs in Bozeman.  


Our classes are kept purposely small to allow for individualized attention.  We focus on reward based/marker training...with some really fun reward twists to make learning fun for both dogs and handlers!

We currently offer the following Obedience opportunities:

  • Canine Etiquette - Our very basic obedience class.  This 4 week class is appropriate for puppies over 12 weeks old, "new to you" dogs, or teams that want to revisit very basic foundation.  Offered 2 - 4 times a year.
  • AKC Canine Good Citizen Class - This 6 week class focuses on the 10 behaviors required to pass the AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluation.  This is an excellent goal for ALL teams!  Offered twice a year.
  • Drop-In Obedience - This on-going class is for advanced and self-driven handlers.  If you have specific goals you are working towards with your dog, this is the group for you.  The instructor is available the first 30 minutes of the session to assist in tasks as directed by handlers.  Equipment is available for setup after the first hour.  This highly supportive group can be found working on any of the following:  AKC Conformation & Obedience, CGC Test items, IGP Obedience, General training & proofing around a group of dogs.  Note:  This class is not for doggie meet and greets.  Instructor approval is required.

K9 Nose Work is otherwise known as Sport Detection.


The Canny Canine has a deeply established program serving the Bozeman area.  We consistently produce high level competitors in Montana and across the Pacific Northwest.  Carolyn is skilled in training both food and toy reward dogs.  She is deeply involved with the sport as an NACSW Trial Certifying Official and Judge and has been a Certified Instructor for over 8 years.


While The Canny Canine's program focuses on competition through National Association of Canine Scent Work (NACSW), participants can utilize their training in any sport detection venue including AKC and American Schutzhund.


 K9 Nose Work provides a critical mental outlet for active dogs.  You can play the game in any safe location including your home, the local park, or even in a hotel when traveling.   


Clients love the Bozeman K9 Nosework program.
