How will it work?
We work hard to make sure all our K9 Happiness Officers are trained and experienced in handling dog behaviour, particularly in large group settings. To ensure all our K9 Happiness Officers have the right foundation in managing dog behaviour, we require all new employees to undertake a 3-month onboarding process at our sister company, the Pet Care Centre. By undertaking this on-boarding process, you will learn:
How to identify positive groupings based on the dogs behaviour and tendencies
How to identify dog aggression early as well as how to prevent negative behaviour before it occurs
How to safely split up dog fights
How to conduct day-to-day operations to keep dogs and other staff safe
How to identify and correct poor manners
