DOG TRAINER_ DOG BEHAVIOURIST_ VET_ Experienced DOG WALKER_WANTED

Your job would be to do group dog walks in the morning and then depending on your expertise, training walks, behaviour consults or more walking in the afternoon.

(If experienced it is likely you will have a dog you are training amongst your easier group ones too.)

Currently these sessions take place in parks and at the clients homes, all in a very tight area but we are also interested in setting up a facility outside of London if someone is interested and experienced enough to run that, but we'd want to try you out in London for 6 months prior.

I mention Vets as well as I am confident you could earn more joining the dog walking team, perhaps whilst training as a veterinary behaviourist and perhaps conducting remote Vet consults to our clients before potentially having a surgery at the facility.

Professionals who get work through us, have always loved their work and earnt more than the average animal job. However, please note this work is not a walk in the park. You will need great physical and mental fitness to ensure you are on time and prepared and able to keep going.

How does it pay?

An experienced behaviourist conducting walks and training appts should expect up to about £220/ day. Someone with little training experience and thus would require plenty of input teaching and qualifying should expect £100-£145/ day. Someone competent with a number of dogs and teaching the basics to a high standard with challenging dogs like recall & loose lead walking could expect about £165-£185/ day. If you are the best of the best in behaviour then there is no limit to what you could get but the walking side pays very well and consistently so for highest pay you'd probably want to factor walking in too.

If you are living in the area and up for having a couple of easy dogs to stay with you on a regular basis, you can expect about an extra £10k / year.

When Can I start?
We want you soon as possible but just let us know when you are ready?

What are the hours like?
We can help you create your perfect day but generally a full day is Mon-Fri 8.30am- 4.30pm. Am’s are quite important and Ideally we like to invest in people who can work a full day perhaps with the odd afternoon off a week to study canine learning theory if thats your vibe. Again with a walker we really want full availability, if you are a super experienced behaviourist and want to give us say 1 day a week, we could work with that so long as aits regular.

Where is the work?
Hammersmith, London W6 & Kensal Rise NW10

Requirements:
To use one of our vans you will need a Full manual drivers Licence and to have held it for at least 1 year & to be very Fluent in English. You are welcome however to supply your own van if you do not meed the requirement for ours. You would earn more supplying your own suitable Van.

Perks:

Company vehicle. Mentorship, tuition. Long term career possibilities such as equity in franchise, Management, training and behaviour qualifications. Tips. Bonuses.

I already have my own business why do I want to be part of That Dog Guy?Mentorship

You would be mentored through what courses to do and may have some of these paid for, for you. You would get the hands-on experience and mentorship you need to become accredited without having to pay to go to university or do weeks away.

Cover:
You won’t have the stress of arranging cover and can take whatever time you want off we just ask that you are a team player and do it when someone else is not off.

Team:
We have a really nice, fun team who have always got your back in your own dog emergencies and in general. We have BBQ’s and dinners etc but no obligation to come.

Admin:
I always wanted to do just dogs no admin. By joining us, you get that. No arranging invoices, insurance, licenses. No doing the logistics of clients or client intake faf, just pure dog fun.

A Vehicle:
Depending on your agreement, we have a van for you and you can keep it at weekends too if you like. (You would earn slightly more if you had your own Van.)

Pay:
There is not really a limit to how much you can earn. Training wise the better you are the more you can charge. Walks wise we can deliver a consistent full roster of dogs.

Career:
You could progress on to managing your own area with profit share or run a boarding and residential training retreat outside of London or become an amazing behaviourist. There may even be some TV opportunities one day in the future.

Autonomy & Hours:
So long as you are consistent and willing to be a team player you can choose your hours and what jobs and dogs you want or don’t want. We like people who want to work probably at least 46 weeks a year but in reality, if there is cover which with you joining, there should be, you have lots of flexibility.

A full day is usually about 8.30am-4.30pm and working every morning is pretty important but we will discuss what you want.

Application:
Please send CV and covering letter to Hello[@]thatdogguy.org and beth.thatdogguy [at]gmail.com. See below for further submissions advice.
