DOG HANDLER JOB DESCRIPTION
Willing to train the right candidate.
- Monitor play times and exercise times while maintaining safety protocols for dogs and staff. This will involve but not be limited to – giving medications to dogs at proper times, keeping the play area clean, and discouraging bad behaviors (jumping, leash pulling, growling, and aggression).
- Remembering dog names is a must. You will be using their names when you take photos for customers, storing dog belongings in an organized manner, labeling all contents, and when working with the pre-feeding and feedings for meal times. However, we understand this takes time so checking tags is important as you can not call them over to you if you do not know their name.
- Cleaning up of urine and feces is a daily part of this job. It comes with sanitizing and mopping, doing laundry, washing dog dishes, cleaning kennels, bathing dogs of various sizes, and nail trims.
- You will be entering data via computer or tablet when you log and report to management. This data will involve any discrepancies, bad behavior of dogs, and any injuries, accidents, or medical issues.
