A typical day isn’t sitting behind a desk—it’s being on your feet, managing playgroups, reading dog behavior, cleaning, and making sure every dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. You’ll be working closely with a team, communicating constantly, and learning how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and situations.
It’s incredibly rewarding, but it’s also real work. You need to be dependable, attentive, and comfortable getting a little dirty. The dogs rely on you to be calm, confident, and consistent.
What makes Hounds Town special is the community—both the dogs and their people. You build relationships, recognize regulars, and genuinely become part of each dog’s routine and life.
If you love dogs, thrive in an active environment, and take pride in responsibility and teamwork, Hounds Town can be an amazing place to grow.
