● Conduct individual and group training sessions, monitor each dog’s progress, and adjust training methods as required.

● Perform general animal care duties, including bathing, coat grooming, nail clipping and ear cleaning, to maintain animal comfort and wellbeing.

● Maintain high hygiene standards by inspecting, cleaning and disinfecting training areas, kennels, yards and other animal enclosures.

● Monitor dogs’ dietary, hydration, exercise and welfare needs, administer basic treatment for minor issues where appropriate, and report serious health concerns to veterinarians.

● Maintain accurate health, behaviour, training progress and client communication records.

● Supervise and mentor junior staff where required, ensuring safe animal handling and consistent training standards.
