This role is ideal for someone who genuinely loves dogs, enjoys being outdoors in all types of weather, and takes pride in doing things the right way. We’re looking for a detail-oriented, hardworking individual who is professional, reliable, and consistent each day. The right candidate is open to learning, eager to apply our training standards in their daily work, and committed to growing in the role.
