We are looking for a genuine dog person. A love of dogs is obviously required, but we are looking for more than that. Ideal candidates should have a natural ability to read and relate to dogs, even if that ability is underdeveloped. People with previous dog training experience (positive dog training methods only) are best suited for this position, but we have developed our own training program so this is not a requirement.
While the ability to relate to dogs is essential, candidates must enjoy working with people and is a possess great communication skills. A large responsibility of this job is to teach new dog guardians how to be good leaders and teachers so they have the skills to raise a puppy into an amazing adult dog.
We are searching for the right candidates to first learn and then grow with us. We want our staff to be an essential part of our team, not just someone collecting a paycheck. We are expanding faster than we can keep up and want someone who will be with us for the journey.
At Dog Gone Problems we strive to be the absolute best at what we do and we are looking for people with that same outlook. Someone who takes pride in their work and work well done.
