Thanks everyone!!! So hard to believe that I have my dream job at 26 years old. Now what?? LOL
There are two types of trainers that work for Purina. I am going to be one of the main trainers that stays at Purina Farms and does shows on site with the occasional traveling gig. I will also be going to local schools and doing shows to promote safe kid/dog interactions. The second type is the trainer that just does traveling promotions, so they aren't a full time employee, rather just called upon when needed.
Hahahahhahaha! Educational demos are important right?
I need a team of six dogs plus subs. I have 3 currently and will be adding dogs as I find them.
I am meeting with a little red heeler that already has an awesome foundation in tricks and disc. So plug and play.
Blinker will not be staying, he doesn't have the drive needed for a job like this, with a little work though, he's going to be tons of fun!
I'm sure those will still happen! Especially in the winter when the farms are closed.
I'm already pumped to go to work everyday, this is just going to be so much better!!
That agility field was probably the one at the Pet Center and where the shows are held.
Neighbors!!! You are going to have to show me all the cool places to go hiking!
I will be starting at the beginning of April. And not for a long time! Don't think I'm camera ready. And yes, I already forgot about you all, who are you!?
Super snazzy uniforms!
Linds, you offer the best support of anyone. Thanks so much.
Of course!! I'm going to miss my current chaz locals so much, someone has to pick up that slack!

Also, you can have Penny. She'll just run away at the start line but my god. She'll do it quickly

Our Nationals in 2012 was there and the facilities just look awesome. I was half tempted to break in and use an agility field I saw all set up but figured I shouldn't
Seriously, that job seems a thousand times more exciting/interesting than mine and my job ROCKS. It's amazing to wake up and be pumped to go to work every day

WOW! that is awesome. Congrats, when do you start? When are you going to be on TV? Are you going to forget about us when you're a star?

That must suck, having a job where adding MORE dogs is a requirement??? I was halfway jealous, now that I know that? pffffttttttt
what kind are you looking for
Remember, you introduced me to your screaming seagull and taught me your super secret photog pose? I should have let my dogs bite you, then maybe you'd have remembered

Mostly heeler or heeler crosses. But it has to be the right dog!
Hahahah, keep that pose a secret! Nobody must know.

Are Zuma and Zinga going to be part of the team, or do you have to find 6 completely new dogs? Sounds so exciting, I'm so happy for you

Yes please.
And congrats, very exciting! My boss went to Purina Mills and thought it was incredible, the whole operation there.
Wow. Huge congrats! This is such an amazing opportunity. I wish I lived closer so visiting would be more of an option. I would love to see you guys in action. Your dogs are going to be So Fit. What a lifestyle. Good for you!

I went to Purina Farms last year for BC nats and I'll be going again this year, I absolutely love the event center, herding area and all the land! I can only imagine how much you will enjoy it!

DUDE. That's incredible that you've landed your dream job. I cannot wait to hear all about your experience with it and your journey! Very proud of you, takes a lot of hard work to land a job like that I bet.
Congrats to you! It's so great to achieve your dream like that.
