Dog Trainer/Camp Counselor - Camp Bow Wow - Golden, CO

Have you always wanted to be a dog trainer, but don't have the experience? Are you great with people, but also love dogs? If so, Camp Bow Wow® of Golden, CO, the leader in doggy daycare and overnight boarding, is looking for an outgoing, enthusiastic, fun individual that wants to become a dog trainer.

This means you will help monitor dog behavior and assist your team members in assessing dog body language, performing gate management and continuing to keep the dogs safe in the play yard environment.

As your training clientele builds, you will receive more training hours and your Camp Counselor duties will lessen.
