Assistant Dog Trainer & Care Team Member

Position Overview

The Assistant Trainer / Care Team Member is a full-time, benefits-eligible position responsible for providing safe, efficient, and highly attentive care to dogs staying at our Milton facility while also supporting the training team and participating in structured training activities as assigned.

This is an experienced animal-care position. Candidates must have prior professional kennel, boarding, daycare, veterinary, shelter, or comparable high-volume dog-care experience. This is not an entry-level role for someone whose only experience is caring for personal pets.

Team members must be capable of independently managing the routine care needs of up to 15 dogs during assigned portions of a shift. This includes safely completing potty rotations, feeding, water checks, medications, cleaning, enrichment, documentation, and kennel transitions while maintaining accurate awareness of every dog in their care.

Employees must be comfortable safely handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, energy levels, and presenting behavioral needs accepted by the facility. This includes dogs who may be fearful, reactive, highly aroused, strong on leash, resistant to handling, environmentally sensitive, or otherwise require careful adherence to specific management protocols.

Animal care, cleanliness, safety, and accurate execution are the foundation of this position. Training responsibilities do not replace or take priority over essential care duties unless specifically directed by leadership.
