Good Shepherd Training

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.

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.

Had a blast at the 2025 SuperZoo convention in Las Vegas. Keep your eyes out for upcoming events and products I will be sharing with you. #2025
