Job Opportunities

Canine Handler

If you’re looking for an active job working with dogs, it’s time to consider applying for a Canine Handler position with The Dog Stop®.

It’s every handler’s goal to provide pups with a clean, safe, and positive place to play and stay while their owners are away. No previous canine experience is required, just a positive attitude and an aptitude for learning.
