The Dog Training Hooters Girl

Yes you read this correctly, I am indeed a Dog Trainer who just so happens to be a Hooters Girl. I find it quite amusing yet irritable at the same time when people are shocked I am a dog trainer at an actual professional dog training center. It's even more humorous to tell people what my second job is. It's because it's like you've been put on a pedestal, your not like everyone anymore  your well ha ha a Hooters Girl which is the restaurant equivalent to a Playboy bunny in all honesty I think.

Nonetheless, the irritating part is when you constantly have to make people understand the importance of obedience and obedience competitions for that matter. Hell, excuse my cursing, depending on the method you use training it self can be hard work and time consuming. So I would suggest you work on your time management and not complain about how you don't want to do 100 sits a day. People it really isn't hard do four sets of 25 and your done for the day. The second irritable thing is constantly defending yourself and trying to explain how Hooters isn't what people think it is we aren't sluts or mediocre prostitutes. We have training we have to do before they even send us out on the floor. We have to do things most don't and go the extra mile because unlike other restaurants we have to entertain and talk to our customers more then three times. We have to deal with things that most servers could probably retaliate on we can't. In order to defend ourselves we literally have to kill them with kindness, now how we present that is different I use sarcasm. JESUS PEOPLE OPEN YOUR MINDS!!! It's not all about big boobs skinny waists and ditsy girls supposedly willing to do anything for a tip that's called a strip club. We work hard to pretend to be happy and  love that you came to see us serve you and laugh at almost everything you say ^_^......-_- (not) but we do it anyway. It's a obligation when you apply you know what's expected of you so don't slack on your duties. I also don't like when people think were being objectified I don't think we are we have enough clothing where it only looks appealing to the eye and the mind stays in it's home called their skull. I personally think that it's their own self esteem issues I'm comfortable enough in my own skin to wear things most females wouldn't. Then again I just put on what I feel like wearing whatever the situation ha ha.

To finish off my rant towards people's ignorance, I am doing well in school so far this week is where I begin the hard ball. I made a few decisions last week that were appropriate at the time to act on. I say this because I put homework first before my play. Now that classes have officially started it's all about work before play, play comes on weekends only if that it all depends on how much I get done. Wish me luck!! :)

Sorry Sorry Sorry!!!

I'm such an idiot I completely forgot to blog about all the things I've done with the dogs and work since I got back for Winter Break (December 14th...I know bad girl) time to play catch up. Well let's see here...ah well Ellie and I have started our training towards a CDX my goal is always to win first place while remaining in the 190s getting a H.I.T (High In Trial) is a bonus although as Roxanne likes to lovingly remind me "why reach for the moon when you could strive for the sun, moon, and the stars sure you may not get them all but you'll still have the moon and the stars *wise smile*" I try to remind myself of that anytime I feel down and in that barely passing but still decent phase. I also am working Scout a Labrador towards his CD title it was my accident how it got started but honestly I've really got to thank him he gave me "the itch" so to speak to train properly again. All it takes is one obnoxious dog and you have you can ignite an inspirational fire. Hopefully if Margot let's me I can put a title on him as well as Ellie I'm game he's game let's get my permission slip signed :)

Ellie and I are working specifically on straight fronts, broad jump, and retrieve over the high jump. All are progressing wonderfully, I was a little annoyed we had to lower the jumps to 4" but I just kept telling myself it's for training purposes it won't stay like this she's a smart dog....but I don't have to like it so I'll suck it up and do it anyway reluctantly after all Margot know's what she's doing I mean you don't have over 40 years of experience and a bazillion titles and training other people to get those titles and not called one of the best and possibly last great dog trainers in America without something to show for it. He went well Ellie and I didn't work as much as I would have liked, damn you monthly visits from my red headed cousin frickin hate her!, she always punches me in the stomach when we greet each other the first day after that were all good haha. Anyhow Tiny was being totally annoying by not letting me put things on him which I was determined to fix but we were in a hurry so I gave up...for now *insert evil laugh*

Well that's all for now tune in next time ^_^

P.S I'm working a back to back double New Years eve and New Years day how shitty is that wish me luck I don't die of fatigue

Conflicted and Indecisive

So I've changed my major again...for the third time, this time I want to fulfill a childhood dream of becoming a Paleontologist. For those who don't know what that is it is someone who studies and researches dinosaur fossils. Another tid bit is that I don't think I'll be transferring schools much to my dismay. It seems yet again I'm stuck in a situation I can't get out of because I let it go on for to long. It probably wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't the worst at studying.

I didn't realize how much of a rip off Ferrum College actually was until I started looking at different career's and major's I would be good at. It came to my attention slowly but steadily that they didn't really have a wide range of majors that catered to my interests. For instance, when I first sought out change I thought well I really like singing and dancing it's a stress relief and it's something I have always worked hard on. Learning different methods and ranges. Just like dog training I was hooked onto something I actually could do and could only get better at with time.

At first I was a double major in Pre-Vet and Theater( I don't know what I was thinking at the time because that was the worst idea ever) I've no clue what I thought I was going to get out of it by having both as my major. My advisor told me that maybe I should consider pursuing Acting as my career instead. This being because not only had I admitted I wasn't the greatest at math or science but the only classes I seemed to be doing well in at the time, this was my freshman year fall semester, was my theater classes. I thought to myself maybe she's right maybe I should major in Theater I mean at least I'm good at it. So I did I changed my major and became a Theater major my grades went up just like Wayne Bowman, theater arts professor, had told me it would. I probably would have kept at it if it would for my need for approval. I've no real experience in the acting world so I looked to others for what was good or bad. Long story short on this topic in order to become a great actor/actress you must be emotionally vulnerable which I am not.

The second change came along when this nagging voice in my head said "what about your dream of becoming a vet, you've wanted to heal animals and care for them and think about all the plans that were made in the future what about the animal radicals you and any other apprentice that has gone to Margot's needs to make them go away that can't happen if your off acting and singing and what not you were going to be the best how do you even know your good at what you do they could be lying for all you know plus the other theater majors don't even like you it's a constant game of cat and mouse will they like you this day or will they gang up on you and judge no ma'am you are smarter then they are so just study more and I'm sure you'll be a vet" So I said to myself "I don't want to be a theater major anymore it's to much 50% chance of success so I want to just minor in something where all I have to do is sing and dance" ha ha to bad that doesn't exist. I thought of a way to work around it, then a brilliant idea came into my mind I'll just continue with choir and make Dance my minor. That way I can still be a Vet and still enjoy dance. To bad they don't offer Dance as a minor or major at my college. I decided I was going to become a pre-vet major with a double minor in History and Philosophy. I've always taken an interest in history and philosophy is just something I'm naturally good at. This I should have known better I loathe going to science and math especially when I know I won't understand it but I try anyway hoping it was just my imagination. No I can learn math and science I'm sure I could eventually understand however I'm not good at it. I needed to be a major in something I was good at and wasn't completely lost in. That's when I decided to look for something else I can be successful in.

Finally my third major change took quite awhile being as I wanted to major in Zoology to bad they didn't offer it as usual my college disappointed me yet again. Then I thought I could be an archeology major! I am very observant and a good analyst plus I would get to travel like I always wanted to do and make discoveries. Of course they didn't offer Geology at my college either. So I choose to make History my major and Philosophy/Biology my minors...at least they fit together this time unlike my other choices. I haven't set it up yet well classes anyway or a new advisor but it's a work in progress. I have a good feeling this is the right choice this time.

To end this extremely exhausting blog post I only have one thing to say "I just wanna be successful" by Drake

I didn't die

Just to let you know haha I didn't die or drop off the face of the earth. I just didn't have much to say, I've turned over a new leaf unless it involves dog training or animal radicals I have no real reason to post anything up. I mean looking back on it now I was venting all over my blog. Luckily our literary education is so bad that no body saw how the way I wrote my blogs, although the words were in the right place my punctuation was terrible certain words shouldn't have been capital. It made it seem as if I was illiterate, this made me feel terrible I could have sworn I only had bad penmanship =P

Now changing to a new topic I think its hysterical that I have a private dance lessons course which is pretty much like masters course. Its for dancers that are very experienced and plan to do something later on in other words Dance majors would love it. I however have very little dance experience and was not consistent with my training. Now I bet your wondering Sydney where is the funny part? Well I'll tell you I somehow managed to do everything she has asked me to do in that class, I may not do a few moves very well but I did it. I mean the only one who know's I'm not that experienced is my friend Jourdan. I'm just saying I have to have some sort of talent if I'm doing it right......that or I'm a really good mimic xD

Ellie has a new title! CD dog coming through!

I meant to put this up the day it happened haha sorry everyone. So last Friday Ellie The Munchkin aka E.T.M and I went to the Yorkshire Terrier Toy Specialty, we went with Sam and Rugby who might I add would have won H.I.T with a score of 196 if he held his sit stay (darn you Rugby) :P. Any who Ellie and I ended up getting highest scoring Yorkie with a score of 192 and first place. She officially has a CD title YAY!!!! I'm still deciding if I want to continue and put a CDX title on her, I'm definitely putting one on Max, 5 1/2month old Shih Tzu puppy, next Summer hopefully. So the pics of the ribbons and photo's of us will be up soon!

CD HERE WE COME!!! ^_^

So Ellie and I were entered in The Keystone Cluster for the Obedience ring. We arrived Friday and did a tiny bit of practice and left it at that I didn't want to touch her any further till I know how we did Saturday. I was so worried about our heeling and fronts. Needless to say Saturday in Novice A we won second place with a score of 180/200. The first place winner was a Black Russian Terrier with a score of 191. As soon as I heard who won and his score I knew who my temporary arch enemy was and that he needed to be beat I was going to get first place tomorrow she needed it no...WE needed it.
Now keep this fun fact in mind Ellie was the only toy breed in her class everyone else was a giant. In my class on Saturday was a American Stafford Terrier, Newfoundland, Giant Schnauzer,Shetland Sheepdog, Black Russian Terrier, and Doberman Pincher. They were all enormous compared to her. So when she got her first leg it only seemed fit that she wonder why all the other dogs performed so terribly inattentive. The second day after fixing a few things Ellie and I won first place with a score of 191 and second place with a score of 182 was indeed the Russian Terrier. There were still the same dogs from yesterday minus the Amstaff and adding in its place a Labrador Retriever. We have one more leg to go our final show is at the Yorkshire Terrier Specialty. I know for a fact we can get in the 190s so my goal is to try for High In Trial.
