  Hello! Are you the one we are looking for?
  
  Currently we are searching for people that have a bubbly, energetic and extroverted personality that are passionate for the outdoor dog lifestyle!!
  
  For our upcoming season we need one more person to join the team. Pls note we ask people that come now to stay for the entire winter season. The dogs need stability from their caretakers and also it takes time to get to know all the dogs, get into the routine and to know what you are doing! Minimum age is usually 25 but we will consider people under 25 with valid experience :)
  
  we DO NOT hire couples or people with own pets nor smokers!!.If you are in this category please DO NOT APPLY!!!
  
  We have now started our training season with the dogs, that means harnessing, taking the dogs on runs with the carts and quad bikes to get ready for the winter season that can start as early as mid november. We would love people to come for the autumn and stay on for the whole season as they are used to the dogs and routines. We would prefer people to come mininum one month before that time to get to know the dogs and routines and stay on till at least march. Best would be to have people stay the whole season.. We do accept people in january-feb.. but the learning curve is high and most people at that time would be considered handlers.. helping out but not being main guides that can take tours independently. If you are not a person that can take your own intiative to see work and get up and do the work.. please dont apply!

  We live in a beautiful area of lapland, close to a creek, and river and forest. the work with the dogs is amazing. Learning to get to know the dogs, getting them to trust you and create a bond is so beautiful! We have an easy going lifestyle where you just plan your own day as long as the dogs always come first and the work that needs done gets done!😁We have very high expectations, to make sure our dogs are always loved, cared for and their housing and yards are clean and immaculate. A lot of the work is independent. We dont give you a strict schedule. During the summer months its very easy going. in autumn there are more guidelines on how the day should look and what needs to be completed. In winter time.. there is a specific routine for tours and dog care that needs to be followed.

  We like hands-on people that are motivated and wont wait around to be told what to do but can see what needs doing! Most importantly is the attention and care for the dogs. People with farming backgrounds and experience with animals are ideal!as are people with carpentry skills :) In summer time we are also looking for people that are motivated to work with animals, are not afraid to get their hands dirty, are initiative takers to get the work done and have sewing skills! We have a lot of fixing of suits, and harnesses.. we have an industrial sewing machine and would love someone to make use of it fixing our broken equipment.
