FIR + BARK is HIRING! 🐾🌲🐺

We’re expanding and on the lookout for a passionate K9 Wilderness Adventure Handler to join our crew in the mountains of Squamish, BC!

If you’re someone who thrives in the outdoors, loves dogs like family, and can see beauty in a muddy hike through the rain — you just might be the one we’re looking for. This isn’t your average dog-walking gig — it’s a deep dive into connection, nature, and pack life.

⸻

What You’ll Be Doing:
🐾 Leading groups of dogs on trail hikes through BC’s wilderness
🚙 Driving a Tacoma to pick up/drop off dogs around Squamish
🌧️ Spending most of your time off-leash in nature — rain, snow, or shine
📚 Completing Fir + Bark’s internal K9 courses on dog behavior, body language, and pack dynamics
🐺 Observing dogs, keeping the pack safe and calm, and helping build confident canines
🧭 Managing dog gear, trail safety, and basic first aid (we’ll teach you!)

⸻

We’re Looking For Someone Who:
✨ Has some experience working with animals, especially dogs (kennels, daycares, training, or personal experience all count!)
💪 Is physically fit and comfortable hiking multiple hours a day
🌲 Feels confident being alone in the forest with a pack — this job requires awareness, intuition, and calm leadership
🚗 Has a full driver’s license and is confident driving the work trucks
📞 Has great communication skills and can chat easily with clients
🫶 Is open, honest, and eager to learn (we’ll provide lots of mentorship + training)

⸻

Details:
🐾 Monday to Friday with some Winter weekends (Jan–March)
🛻 Company truck + all gear provided (leashes, treats, crates, first aid, etc.)
🎓 K9 training and safety courses included
🗻 You get to work outside in the wild with incredible dogs — every day

⸻

TO APPLY:
Send a cover letter to [email protected] telling us a bit about yourself and why you would be a great addition to the Fir + Bark Team🐺💌

We can’t wait to meet our next K9 handler! Let’s roam 🌲🐾
