  • Canine Companion

    The Dog Stop of Metairie

    Direct support professional job in Metairie, LA

    Job DescriptionBenefits: Employee discounts Flexible schedule Opportunity for advancement Job Responsibilities Canine Handlers perform all daily interactions and meets all daily needs required by dogs in both the day care and boarding settings. All activities and incidents should be communicated to management on a daily basis. As soon as they arrive in the morning, its their responsibility to set up their day care rooms with fresh drinking water, fresh mop and mop bucket, and playground equipment. Afternoon shifts should make sure they start off with the same amenities. Day Care Safety The primary concern for all dogs in day care is safety. Handlers are trained to look for warning signs that a dog might act out in an unfavorable way that could be hazardous to other dogs or staff members. They are responsible to correcting any unwanted behavior in hopes of avoiding any sort of physical conflict. Cleanliness Keeping the day care rooms clean is a constant battle. In order to cut down the risk of sickness being spread within the day care, Handlers need to be frequently cleaning. Walls/fencing need to be wiped down with disinfectant and/or Biofresh, posts should be bleached on the inside, playground equipment should be disinfected, mop buckets and drinking buckets should be changed hourly, and dogs should be spot-checked for cleaning up before theyre sent home. These are all daily requirements in addition to the basic cleaning up after bathroom breaks taken in the day care rooms and the outdoor area (if applicable). Stimulation Idle paws are the devils playground, or something like that. In order to head off potential incidents by refocusing the dogs attention and to provide a higher level of care than our competition, Handlers are responsible for providing mental stimulation to all day care clients. Appropriate stimulation appears in the form of different games, which include, but are not limited to, Recall, Up and Down, Sit and Stay, and Follow the Leader. Time-out Log If a dog acts inappropriately in the day care rooms either with the Handler or the other dogs, its up to the Handler to correct the behavior. If this correction occurs in the form of a time-out, the Handler needs to record the length and time the time-out occurred. Management and upcoming shifts need to be aware of this information in order to know what sort of behavior to look for, thats why its crucial this information is kept up-to-date and accurate. Record incidents/health issues Working with animals provides a level of unpredictability, and the Handlers are on the frontlines when it comes to dealing with rising issues. Any sort of altercation or health issue (i.e. diarrhea or vomiting) needs to be recorded in an Incident Report and communicated to incoming staff and Management. It then becomes Managements responsibility to communicate any issues to dog owners and decide whether or not a dog should be taken to seek immediate medical attention. Boarding Cleanliness Canine Handlers are responsible for cleaning the kennels and all the accoutrements of boarding on a daily basis. Each occupied kennel (and any neighboring kennels that may have gotten dirty as a result of their proximity) should be swept, mopped, disinfected (walls and floor), and have all bowls and bedding washed (if needed). If physical conflict does occur it is up to the handler to intervene and end the confrontation. First aid should also be applied (if needed) to hold the dogs over until they can receive professional medical attention (again, only if needed). If a dog is departing the kennel should be bleached, the bowls and blankets should be washed, the bin for belongings should be emptied and wiped down, and the white board should be cleaned. The hall of the kennel should also be disinfected and mopped daily. The outside area (if there is one) also falls under the realm of the kennel attendant. It needs to be disinfected and hosed down at least three times per week (in nice weather). The trash should be emptied at the end of day. Feeding/Medicating Canine Handlers/Dog Care Managers take charge of all daily feedings. They are responsible for portioning out the correct amounts (and the correct foods) for each dog at the proper time intervals. Any medications should also be properly administered by Kennel Attendants and signed off on the Medication Log. Transitioning Once boarding dogs have eaten, been medicated (if applicable), and been given time to digest, the Kennel Attendant should help the Handlers move all B-rate dogs from the boarding kennels to the outside area (if applicable), then from the outside area to the day care rooms. Rotate VIP Throughout the course of completing their other tasks, kennel attendants are required to give breaks/potty time to all VIP dogs. All rotations should be recorded in the VIP Rotation Log. Set up boarders Once kennels are clean, all in-house boarding dogs should be reset with fresh bowls, bedding, water, and their correct amount of food for their next meal, as well as any personal belongings the owners requested be left in the kennel (as long as those items are not potential choking hazards). The Dog Stop is looking for enthusiastic Canine Companions to join their team. Knowledge of the dog care industry is a plus but not required provided the candidate is capable of quickly learning the ins and outs of dog behavior and our range of services. We do require a positive attitude, outgoing personality, dedication to providing an unparalleled experience for our clientele, and, of course, a love of dogs. Responsibilities will include but are not limited to: Supervising and directing safe and positive play Maintaining a clean and healthy environment for guests Ensuring guests and their owners feel comfortable and are receiving the level of service theyve come to expect from The Dog Stop Contributing to a positive team environment Youll find many great benefits awaiting you at The Dog Stop: Discount on all retail products Free and discounted services Bring your dog to work!
