Bring your dog to work? That’s right!

Dogtopia, the industry leader in dog daycare has openings for energetic team players to be the stars of our playroom as Canine Coaches. We are looking for dog lovers who are eager to learn about dog behavior and become experts in Playroom Management. We provide extensive online and in-store training for this position.

There are over 150 Dogtopia locations throughout the US and Canada and Dogtopia of Belden-Canton is the third location in Ohio.

All positions at Dogtopia, from the Front Desk to the General Manager, typically begin as a Canine Coach and there will be opportunities for high performers to advance into other roles as we continue to grow.

You are:

  • A dog lover (obviously!) – we care deeply about the dogs in our care and you will too
  • A team player – we have each other’s backs
  • A perfectionist – we are always looking to learn and improve
  • Brave – we see challenges as fun and are not afraid of failure
  • Honest and ethical – dishonesty of any kind is not tolerated in our culture

You will:

Manage our dog playrooms

  • Supervise playrooms and educate dogs
  • Proactively manage a large group of dogs in open-play to reinforce good behavior and keep them playing well. This is not just playing with dogs
  • Continuously walk the room to reward positive behaviors and manage the energy level by redirecting dogs when necessary
  • Learn Dogtopia’s positive-reinforcement and redirection process for gently addressing undesirable behaviors
  • Engage in stimulating, fun, educational activities and games with the dogs

Keep playroom safe & healthy

  • Keep playroom clean at all times (yes, this does mean cleaning up urine, poop and dog hair)
  • Complete cleaning procedures to ensure the long-term cleanliness of the playroom
  • Follow proper protocols with pet-safe cleaning solutions

Work in the Spa

  • Bathe dogs of all sizes (some very large) using our state-of-the-art spa facility
  • Trim nails, clean teeth, and clean ears

You can:

  • Be comfortable around large groups of playing dogs of all sizes
  • Spend up to 100% of work time standing, walking, bending, and cleaning
  • Work flexible days and hours (weekday morning shifts begin before 7am and afternoon shifts end after 7pm), including evenings, holidays and weekends – we are open 365 days/year
  • Lift up to 40 pounds

Extensive online and in-store training will be provided. All Canine Coaches start at $11/hour and can earn incremental raises upon completion of various certifications.
