JOB DESCRIPTION:

• Many people think working at a dog daycare is just "playing with puppies all day." This is far from reality. Although we do get to enjoy being with the dogs, it is real work with real responsibilities, and there is ALWAYS something that needs to get done. We always aim to better our skills with dog handling and often work on new tips and tricks to improve. If you are an active person who enjoys working hard, learning new things, and getting the added benefit of playing with dogs, this might be the perfect job for you!

• Follow precise written and verbal instructions on feeding, medication and caring for the dogs in our care.

• Excellent customer service. Check-in/out playgroup clients using our software program and ensure accurate billing for each account

• Communicate what dogs did that day by writing it down (ex: "learned how to jump over hurdles today!" or "did 4MPH on the treadmill today!")

• Learning and practicing new training techniques

• Clean and sanitize thoroughly, which includes picking up poop, mopping the floors, and keeping the training equipment clean (this is the least glamorous part of the job but very important!)

• Training includes on-the-job as well as online classes about dog behavior, supervising playgroups, and safety for which you will receive 2 certificates of completion!

• Quarterly team trainings to improve our skills

• Tips are paid out monthly

• Perfect Attendance Bonuses

• Receive a bonus for any baths given, too!
