As a team member of Happy Tails Greenfield, you will be joining a team of collaborative, reliable, hard working people who are extremely committed to the care and the well being of all of our daycare dogs. We are an enrichment based dog day care, so this is a unique opportunity to work with dogs differently than the traditional dog day care environment.
The ideal candidate will have:
* Professional experience in the pet care industry.

* Have a positive, energetic, easy going attitude and desire/willingness to learn.
* Self motivated and comfortable working alone as well as on a team.
* Being comfortable with all types of dogs, both large and small.
* Ability to work in a loud and sometimes overstimulating environment.
* Excellent time management skills - able to show up ready to work and on time.
* A reliable mode of transportation.
You will be responsible for monitoring groups of dogs, transporting them throughout the facility, cleaning and sanitizing of the facility, and much more. You will learn about dog behavior, body language, development, socialization, enrichment, appropriate play, group management. As well as, proper sanitization protocols to keep both the dogs and employees safe. You will also learn the basic building blocks of dog training, so this is a great opportunity for those who want to become dog trainers!
As a Socialization & Enrichment Coach your day will be filled with outdoor time, engaging dogs in mental activities, basic training and play.
You will have support and guidance from an awesome team of people, as well as the opportunity to bring your dog to work with you!
