Job description

At Dog Days, our number one priority is safety, but our number one goal is the quality of each dog's stay! We love helping them build relationships with each other and learn about interacting in all different kinds of situations. That's why our daycare and boarding program is based on intensive and direct social interactions between dogs, with our experienced staff guiding and leading them.

Dog Days is looking for a dog-loving, reliable individual that has a "dog-first" mentality, is hard-working and definitely isn't afraid to get their hands dirty. Previous experience in managing off-leash dog groups of 10+ is absolutely required. If that sounds like you, you'd be an amazing addition to our team!

Responsibilities:

• Handling dogs of all ages, breeds, shapes, and sizes.
• Ensuring a safe and fun environment for the dogs at all times by monitoring, correcting and encouraging play by understanding dog behavior and body language, administering breaks if/when needed, and learning all dog names.
• Maintaining cleanliness of the play-yards at all times by immediately picking up all dog waste and spot cleaning throughout the day.
• Effectively communicating any/all behavioral concerns to management.

Qualifications:

• MUST have a positive attitude and be passionate about dogs!
• Previous experience with dog handling in a professional setting is REQUIRED.
• Adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of dog behavior, body language and safe animal handling.
• Must be a team player, be able to work independently, punctual, take direction well, and effectively communicate with team members/management.
• Must have reliable transportation and open holiday/weekend availability.
• Dog grooming (bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing) experience is not required, but is a plus!
