Possible Jobs Doing What I Love!

[FindingMyself88]

Ok so today has been a REALLY good day! Started out with a great training session with Bristol and our trainer working on her dog reactivity. By the end of the session, she was laying fairly calmly (with occasional disruptions) approximately 5 ft from my trainers dog! My trainer was bragging on how much work I've done with her in 3 short months and she has been coming to me for questions and help for another handler who is training her own Service Dog! Soon my trainer is looking at starting out on her own and I have asked her if I could help her and maybe she could "mentor" me. Dog training is quickly becoming a passion of mine, it has been SO rewarding and therapeutic!

Then tonight I got a temporary job offer to dog sit/walk for 2 weeks while the owner is out of town! It will pay $300 each week, so $600 I didn't have before! It will all go towards Bristol and paying for counseling.

I have not worked since I was raped in November. These may be temporary and not sure of pay if any working with trainer, but it is a good step in the right direction! Working with the animals will help me stay calm.

That is great news!! I hope you can continue doing that and it can become permanent. Having a job you love is half the battle in being happy.

Congratulations

Thanks everyone :) @Ghostybear73 I hope so too! This will be something to get me out of the house more while being something that doesn't raise my anxiety all that much!
