Good Shepherd Training

01/11/2026

Today confirmed something I’ve been building toward the past year.

I hosted my first Supplements 101 talk at and more people supported than I ever expected.

Stepping into educator mode felt surreal. Crossing paths with Youngbloods Animal Care truly changed the trajectory of my training journey. It shifted my focus beyond cues, commands, and behavior. Something just as important; what goes into a dog’s body. That awareness reshaped how I train, how I advocate, and how I show up for the dogs and families I work with.

Today wasn’t just about supplements. It was about understanding that a dog’s health and safety always come before training.

Grateful for everyone who showed up, asked thoughtful questions, and Youngbloods for supporting me by giving me this platform.

Halloween can be full of new sights and sounds that spook our dogs.
✅ Keep candy out of reach
✅ Secure doors and gates
✅ Give your dog a calm space
✅ Add enrichment to keep them busy
A little preparation keeps the night fun — and safe — for everyone. 👻🐾

Nova’s loving her Rabbit Hide Roll from ! 🐇
Locally sourced and packed with natural benefits — fiber, essential manganese, and pure sensory enrichment. Perfect for dogs who love to shred, sniff, and satisfy their inner wild side.

As a trainer, I value treats that support both the mind and body.
The fur provides nutrition as fiber and a natural source of essential minerals, promoting healthy digestion and nutrient absorption. It’s also an excellent way to meet a dog’s instinctual need for sensory and scent-based enrichment — helping create calmer, more balanced behavior during training.

Healthy nutrition builds healthy focus. 💪🐶

As a trainer, I see how small daily habits make a big difference.
October is Pet Obesity Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to look at what’s in your dog’s treats.
Northwest Naturals Raw Rewards are one of my go-tos — real meat, ethically sourced, single ingredient, and great for motivation without unnecessary calories.
