We are a very active cage-free doggy daycare in Oceanside looking for the right individual to join our team. We are an indoor facility and your responsibility will be monitoring all dogs and cleaning up after them (AT A FAST PACE). This is not a job for someone that wants to babysit and hold the dogs as we are very active and you are moving quickly throughout your shift along with the dogs. You will always be on your feet, moving constantly--getting lots of exercise!
We are looking for someone with experience in the K9 field. You must be able to read dogs and know how to confidently handle them in a large group setting. People who are self-motivated and have the ability to multi-task will do very well in this position. We are very interactive with the dogs so we run alongside them, throwing balls for them to fetch and keeping them engaged throughout the day. If you have prior knee or back issues this is not the right job for you as you will be required to frequently jog/walk fast and constantly bend down to the ground (to do body checks and to frequently clean up dog messes before the dogs can get to them). Overall, you will always be on the move with the dogs challenging all muscles in your body. Actively caring for numerous dogs in a yard is most definetely an active sport!
DOGGY DAYCARE ATTENDANT QUALIFICATIONS & SKILLS:
*Have a minimum of 1 year working K9 Experience (Doggy daycare Kennel Training, Hands on)
*Must be passionate about dogs
*Must have confidence around dogs and knowledge of breeds
*Must be able to work in a loud enviornment (dogs barking)
*Must feel comfortable working in a very active energetic position-Our attendants do not stand around as with our competition, because we have a different philosophy. You will serve as the dogs' alpha/pack leader running around with them, throwing balls and keeping the dogs moving, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Our attendants closely supervise the dogs by constantly moving, maintaining a clear line of vision and close proximity.
*Must have reliable transportation
*Must be able to multi-task and be self-motivated and able to think outside the box responding quickly to dogs behaviors.
*Reliable attendance and positive attitude are critical to the dogs that will be relying upon you in this role.
