Full Job Description

Neuman K-9 Academy is hiring a full-time Kennel Assistant / Dog Handler to join our professional dog training and care team. This is not a casual “play with dogs all day” position. We are a structured, fast-paced training environment where dogs are handled, exercised, and cared for to a high standard — and our team is expected to meet that same level of performance. This is a hands-on role where consistency, accountability, and attention to detail are non-negotiable.

What You’ll Do

Provide daily care for dogs, including feeding, watering, exercise, and administering medications as directed
Clean and maintain kennels, crates, and play areas to a high standard
Monitor dog health, behavior, and safety, reporting concerns promptly
Safely handle dogs during walks, structured play, and enrichment
Assist with grooming tasks such as bathing, brushing, and nail trims
Maintain accurate daily records of care and observations

On your feet for most of your shift
Fast-paced, physically demanding work
Outdoor work in all weather conditions (year-round)
Handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels
Some dogs may be strong, untrained, or behaviorally challenging
Limited downtime — efficiency and time management are essential

What We’re Looking For

Experience in animal care (kennel, veterinary clinic, shelter, or similar) preferred
Knowledge of basic animal care and safe handling techniques
Comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and behavior types
Dependable — shows up on time, stays on task, and follows through
Communicates clearly and follows direction in a team environment
Reliable transportation and consistent attendance required
Must be 18+ years old

Who Thrives Here

Shows up prepared and ready to work
Takes feedback and applies it without resistance
Stays composed under pressure
Pays attention to detail and does not cut corners
Looking for long-term growth in the dog training or animal care field

This Role Is Not a Fit If You Are Looking For

A slow-paced or low-effort job
Primarily sitting or low-activity work
A short-term or casual position
An environment with minimal structure or accountability

Pay & Benefits

$18.00 – $24.00/hour (based on experience)
Full-time: 35–45 hours/week

Benefits include:

IRA with 3% company match
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Life insurance
Paid time off
Employee discounts

At Neuman K-9 Academy, you’ll be part of a team that takes pride in doing the job right — even when it’s hard.

If you are reliable, coachable, and ready to work in a structured, high-standard environment, we encourage you to apply.
