🚨 WEEKEND WORKING STUDENT POSITION – DOG TRAINING & KENNEL CARE 🚨
(Please read the whole thing. This is not a casual post.)
In a perfect world, we’re not just hiring help; we’re looking for a working student.
Someone who genuinely wants to learn the ins and outs of dog training and running a professional training business, hands-on, in real time… in exchange for a few hours of work each week.
This position is WEEKENDS ONLY (Saturday & Sunday) and is a split shift:
➡️ Several hours in the morning
➡️ Several hours again in the evening
We operate 7 days a week, 365 days a year because dogs don’t take days off. Yes, that includes on holidays and your birthday.
🐾 WHAT A WORKING STUDENT ROLE LOOKS LIKE HERE:
This is not a “watch and learn” situation.
You’ll be actively working while learning:
• Daily kennel routines & dog care
• Handling and management of a wide variety of dogs
• Cleanliness, structure, and efficiency in a professional facility
• How a real dog training business operates behind the scenes
• What actually goes into caring for clients’ dogs at a high level
If you prove yourself reliable, detail-oriented, and capable, this role has real potential to grow into a true training apprenticeship.
❌ PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF:
• You think dog training is mostly playing with puppies
• The thought, sight, or smell of vomit, p*e, p**p, or diarrhea is something you can’t handle, let alone clean up
• You need constant supervision or micromanagement
• You struggle to follow instructions or routines
• You don’t want a long-term commitment
• You can’t work weekends, holidays, or split shifts
If you’re looking for something quick, easy, or glamorous… this isn’t it.
✅ PLEASE DO APPLY IF:
• You’re genuinely interested in learning dog training as a skill and profession
• You want hands-on experience instead of just theory
• You’re reliable, observant, and detail-oriented
• You can work independently and take initiative
• You’re open to feedback and eager to learn
• You’re looking for a long-term opportunity, not a short-term job
🐕 ABOUT US:
We’re a couple (literally) of dog lovers who run a professional training and care facility. We take extreme pride in the level of detail, cleanliness, structure, and consistency we provide to our clients’ dogs.
We’re not interested in burning people out or cycling through employees. Ideally, we’re looking for one person who wants to grow with us, someone we can treat like family and not just another name on the schedule. We’re looking for someone who holds themselves to the same standard we do and someone we trust to keep things running smoothly when we’re away, without everything going to crap (yes… literally).
This role is hands-on, sometimes gross, often busy, and incredibly rewarding for the right person. If you show up, work hard, and genuinely care.. you’ll learn more here than you ever could from watching videos or taking online courses.
