Initium Novum Dog Training

05/30/2026

It is with a heavy heart I announce the official closing of INDT.

Whether this is permanent or temporary remains to be seen. As of now, it's most likely permanent.

I will continue to work with a few select clients still. If you have not been reached out to directly about this, consider yourself one of the few I'll continue offering services to.

This has been a long time coming and truthfully, should have stayed this way before (which is to say, I shouldn't have re-entered the industry).

Nothing with any dogs or clients have happened to put the nail in the coffin. It's personal.

I'm sorry to those this may inconvenience. All I ever wanted was to do something to help people and their dogs, to help the beings who kept me alive through my childhood and growing up, to give them the second chance I did or the first one I couldn't. Unfortunately, it appears fate has different plans for my life than I ever did. I'm so sorry.

This page will still be used to advertise the 2 I have up for adoption, though it will likely be a week or two before that. Ideally they'll need gone as quickly as safely possible, but I will not allow them to go to just anyone. I simply hope the right people show up timely. I will continue to offer lifetime training and boarding for these 2.

With all being said, this is the end of the empire that should have died permanently along with me and my boy Thor. Without him, there was never a point to this... but I thought if I could continue our legacy, perhaps something could come of it. Perhaps he could find his way home, perhaps I'd finally garner the resources to find him, perhaps the lives I could save would help if nothing else. I'm once again sorry to those it will inconvenience.

I'm here if you need recommendations on others to use in the area. Thank you to the few who have been here, and keep an eye out for the updates and posts about the dogs for adoption. It's been real. Goodbye 🖤

When we do adoptions we give the adopter’s seven days to decide on whether they are keeping the dog. We don’t post adoption pictures until the 7th day. We called the adopter’s today for our little Penny and this is what her dad said when he answered the phone: “ you’re not getting my girl back”!! He said “I told her (Penny) that this was a death do us part relationship “! Dad and Mom said she has the run of the house and is the boss! Good job, Penny, good job!! PENNY ADOPTED!!

A late night training session yesterday, first one for this guy. He did great, despite a brief interruption in the middle (you might notice a slight cut in the video, that’s why)🥲 All things considered I think he’s gonna make great progress🖤

Eggs might be the most underutilized food in your dog’s diet.

Not because they’re unavailable.
Not because they lack value.

But because most people don’t actually understand what they’re working with.

Eggs are not a “nice addition.”
They are one of the most biologically complete foods you can include in a canine diet...
and one of the few whole foods that can materially elevate a formulation when used correctly.

🥚They are the reference standard for protein quality, historically used as a benchmark in biological value (BV) scoring.

But protein is only one piece.

A whole egg delivers a dense package of highly bioavailable nutrients that are often unstable, underfed, or poorly utilized in modern feeding approaches:

YOLK (the metabolic driver) 👇:

✔️ Choline → critical for liver function, fat metabolism, and cellular integrity

✔️ Vitamin A → vision, immune regulation, epithelial health

✔️ Vitamin D → calcium balance and immune function

✔️ Vitamin E → antioxidant protection, particularly important in diets higher in polyunsaturated fats

✔️ Vitamin K → essential for proper clotting and metabolic processes

✔️ Essential fatty acids → primarily linoleic acid (with omega-3 content varying based on sourcing)

✔️ Trace minerals → rich in selenium (with small amounts of iodine depending on feed and sourcing)

WHITE (the structural protein source)👇:

✔️ Highly digestible, complete protein

✔️ Rich in essential amino acids required for tissue repair, enzyme production, and muscle maintenance

Now...this is where most of the confusion happens:

Raw egg whites contain avidin, a protein that binds biotin.

But context matters.

Avidin becomes a concern when raw egg whites are fed in isolation without the yolk, or in disproportionate amounts over time.

Why❓️

Because the yolk naturally contains biotin, largely compensating for this interaction when the whole egg is fed in typical amounts.

So this isn’t a “raw vs cooked” debate. It’s a usage issue.

Raw eggs:
▪️ Maintain native protein structure
▪️ Preserves certain enzymes
▪️ Appropriate when feeding the whole egg

Cooked eggs:
▪️ Denature avidin (eliminating the biotin-binding concern)
▪️ Improve biotin availability
▪️ May enhance digestibility for some dogs

Both are valid tools if you understand why you’re using them.

Where most diets fall short isn’t in whether eggs are included.

It’s in how they’re used:

⚠️ Feeding only whites → removes critical nutrients and creates imbalance
⚠️ Using eggs occasionally instead of strategically
⚠️ Ignoring their contribution to total fat and protein intake
⚠️ Treating them as a topper instead of a functional component

Eggs are not a filler.
They are a formulation tool.

And when you understand their full nutritional leverage, they stop being optional...
and start becoming intentional.

How are you currently feeding eggs❓️ Raw, cooked, or not at all❓️

About 2 weeks ago now a past puppy client of mine reached out. Id meant to post this a lot sooner but it sure has been busy since.

I had this dude at 12 wks for a short B&T. A year and a half later, due to several circumstances and a very hard decision ending in many tears, they’ve decided to surrender him to my care.

He will eventually be up for adoption, heck you can apply now if you want.

But he’ll be here at least 6wks regardless. Getting rehabbed, learning to regulate, learning to not be terrified of anything that moves. He’s a big sweetie pie, but sure is a bit nervy.

This boy has a special place in my heart being my first puppy client in this area, and one of the first few clients around here in general when I decided to try this whole training thing again. Only reason I stopped in the first place was getting my hope, passion, and most of all my spirit, ripped away from me when my heart dog was stolen (and still remains unlocated 5 years later).

Here’s to what our name is all about. New Beginnings❤️‍🩹

Whew😅😅😅

We’ve been holding onto this for a while… but it’s finally time.

Starting today, Global K9 will no longer be allowing owners to participate in training.

We’ve tested it extensively, and the results speak for themselves.
So moving forward:
• Dogs will complete training only with us.
• Dogs will go home fully trained.
• Dogs will maintain everything perfectly.

Owners will not be included in the process.

Drop-off only. No lessons. No homework. No accountability required.

We understand this may be disappointing for some of you who enjoy being involved…
but unfortunately, you’ve been the weakest link.

*Goodbye*

– Management

If you’ve made it this far, you know this is the complete opposite of everything we’ve actually built this business on.
Happy April Fools Day ✌🏼❤️

This is something I don’t often talk about. But more of us, especially in the animal/dog industry, are a lot more broken or damaged than what people realize. What I’ve learned from really digging my heals in this past year getting more involved with other fellow trainers, was that so freaking many of us go through chronic physical *and* mental issues. Many of us are neurodivergent, have things like bpd, on top of trauma, back/shoulder or joint issues, inflammation, knee problems, you name it. We struggle so much on a day to day basis, it’s super easy to be hard on yourself. It’s easy to beat yourself up for not doing enough or being as good as others in certain production areas.

To completely unravel and say “I can’t do it anymore” then wake up and do it anyway because at the end of the day, this is what we’re good at, what we love doing, it fills our hearts in a way nothing else can, and even if there’s a few failures along the way, they’re not for the lack of strenuous effort and hardship. They don’t go without heartbreak and harsh self criticism. That’s the part nobody ever sees though.

I have an array of disabilities. You’d never know it surface level because I’ve spent my whole life putting a mask on to hide them due to the lack of understanding, compassion, or education from others. But while I seem relatively normal, just know, I put all of what little bit of life I have left in me into this. If I have a dog in my care, I might be plum exhausted constantly, and be next to bed ridden. But they’ll have had all the enrichment, love, training, and care that you could ask and pay for within the day, be safe, and happy. I’ve found systems to help, so it’s gotten easier.

Why do I make this post here? It’s a dog training page, a business. Because there’s always room for more awareness and if others are going to be transparent in this, I see no reason for myself not to be. Not that I don’t want to anyway, but it can be hard finding that line.. I’m fortunate enough to have a mentor and have had other trainers up there with him to befriend and be around, because they all struggle with things too, and they’re all incredibly open about it. Something I once thought you just couldn’t or shouldn’t do.

If you’re a professional in this industry and “not all there” mentally or physically the way you want to be, I see you. You’re not alone. Stop comparing. Stop trying to do what works for others. Find what works for YOU and your well being. It might seem ridiculous looking from the inside in, but if that’s what helps? Do it. Just because it’s silly or doesn’t work for someone else’s routine doesn’t mean you’re not allowed.

You should be able to have the freedom to do as you wish, especially when it comes to your wellbeing and lifestyle 🫶🏼
