Fire Your Bad Boss and Work With Dogs!
Are you tired of boring, meaningless jobs? Are you passionate about dogs? Do you enjoy working outdoors? Do you appreciate working with hardworking, dedicated people who enjoy their work? Are you a motivated person who wants to make something of yourself and move up in the world? If so, then we may have the perfect job for you as a Canine Handler at Woofers Pet Resort in Black Hawk, South Dakota!
Who is the right person? Someone who is crazy about dogs, likes people, too, and is hardworking, reliable, and motivated to do his or her best and continually improve through experience and coaching. The ideal candidate is by nature confident and a leader. (Those who tend toward nervousness or anxiety don't do well.) Previous experience working with animals is a big plus but is not nearly as important as personal qualities and work ethic.
The job mainly involves being the pack leader of our outdoor play groups. Duties also include walking dogs in and out on leashes, cleaning, feeding, customer interaction, etc. The job is highly physical, fast-paced, and mostly outdoors, which means you'd be working for 5 1/2 hours of each shift whether the temperature is 1 degree or 100. Training and coaching are provided.
Pay begins at $16/hour and then rises in $.50 increments up to $18/hour as the employee demonstrates increased competency. How fast a person's pay rises depends on his or her own effort.
We are choosy about who we hire, but if you are a go-getter who would love working with dogs and people, we'd love to hear from you. Join our team at Woofers Pet Resort and make a difference in the lives of dogs and their people!
