Job Description
Welcome to So Fetch K9 Adventures! Our team specializes in appropriate dog socialization for dogs of all ages but we cover many facets of dog training. We have had great success hiring people from the veterinary field, doggy daycares, loyal animal shelter volunteers and even people who have animal experience outside of dogs. Our base position is in an alternative to traditional doggy daycare. We offer structured pack walks, hikes and socials to our clients during the week. We believe there is little point to training if we do not have supportive programs like "adventure days" in place to help our clients and their people address the instinctual needs all dogs have. In addition, we offer training in the form of lessons and board and trains. Our niche is in addressing complex behavioral issues but we customize each dog's training plan to fit the dog and pet parent's needs. This job will require trainers to have a balanced approach to dog training, reliable transportation, clean background check and a clean driving history. Trainers bring in varying income depending on their schedules. Additional income opportunities are unlimited. Please reach out for more information!
