2nd Family Dogs and the sister location Ultimutts taught me this job is best suited for anyone looking for minimal structure, endless breaks, and maximum gossip. In my opinion, leadership feels more like a suggestion than a system, and “training” basically means figuring it out as you go. Nepotism seems to run the show more than merit or effort. If you want to gain real dog-handling experience, this isn’t it — but if you want to perfect the art of looking busy while doing as little as possible, you’ll thrive. Management oversees everything mostly from watching cameras rather than being hands-on with handlers or dogs. Callouts are endless and hours are scarce, but if you’re a student, you’ll have plenty of downtime since shift leads actually encourage taking breaks — which is basically a key part of the job. — all my own opinions
