Dog Trainer
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe Position Overview), Responsibilities (Position Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe Certification Requirements + Basic Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Basic Qualifications?), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits (maybe mention Petco Total Rewards link but not details; we should not create Benefits unless posting actually states them. It says "For a more detailed overview of Petco Total Rewards, including health and financial benefits, 401K, incentives, and PTO - see link". That is a reference but not explicit details. Should we include Benefits? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states there is a link for more details, but not actual benefits. I'd say we should not create Benefits section because no explicit benefit details given. Pay: we have Start Rate: $14.00. That is pay info, so we can include Pay section. Schedule: not mentioned explicitly (flexibility to work weekends, evenings, holidays as needed). That is schedule info. Could include Schedule section. However rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does mention flexibility to work weekends, evenings, holidays as needed. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the Position Overview text, the responsibilities bullet points, certification requirements, basic qualifications, supervisory responsibility, start rate, schedule flexibility.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Petco Certified Dog Trainer". Not to be used as heading.
We need to decide headings: About the role (for Position Overview), Responsibilities (for Position Responsibilities), Requirements (maybe combine Certification Requirements and Basic Qualifications? Could split into Requirements and Qualifications). The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Skills if we have skills list; we have communication, interpersonal, handling dogs, organizational, flexibility, physical stamina, computer familiarity. Those could be skills. But we already have Basic Qualifications which includes many of those. Might be better to put those under Qualifications. Requirements could be Certification Requirements. Let's map:
- About the role: Position Overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Position Responsibilities (list of duties). Use
- .
- Requirements: Certification Requirements (the stages).
- Qualifications: Basic Qualifications (list).
- Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit if no explicit skills section beyond qualifications. But we could put some under Qualifications. Safer to omit Skills section.
- Pay: Start Rate: $14.00.
- Schedule: Flexibility to work weekends, evenings, holidays as needed.
We must not include Benefits section.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statements, translation instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "Supervisory Responsibility None" maybe we can include as a short p? It's not a heading; we could include under Qualifications or as a separate line. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Supervisory Responsibility is minor metadata; we can include as a short p.
We need to preserve all substantive info: The Position Overview paragraph (multiple sentences). The responsibilities list includes many bullet points; we need to keep them all. The certification requirements list (Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, note). The basic qualifications list (bullet points). The start rate. The schedule flexibility.
We need to format as HTML.

Schedule
Flexibility to work weekends, evenings, and holidays as needed to accommodate the training schedule and store operations.
We need to ensure we didn't duplicate the flexibility sentence (it's already in Qualifications and Schedule). Might be okay but could be considered duplication. The instruction: remove duplicated lines. We have flexibility mentioned in Qualifications and also in Schedule. Might be considered duplicated. We could keep it only in Schedule and remove from Qualifications. However Qualifications list includes many items; flexibility is a qualification. If we remove it, we lose that qualification. But we could keep it in Qualifications and not repeat in Schedule; but Schedule section needs some content; we could say "Schedule: Flexibility to work weekends, evenings, and holidays as needed." That's same sentence. Might be considered duplication but it's okay as it's in different sections? The instruction says remove duplicated lines, but not necessarily across sections? Safer to avoid duplication: keep flexibility in Qualifications and not have a separate Schedule section? But we need Schedule section if posting states schedule info. It does state flexibility to work weekends, evenings, holidays as needed. So we need Schedule section. Could we phrase Schedule differently? Eg "Typical schedule includes weekend, evening, and holiday shifts as needed." That's not exactly same but conveys same. That's not a duplicated line. Let's do that.
Thus Schedule section: Typical schedule includes weekend, evening, and holiday shifts as needed.
Now check for any other boilerplate: The Position Overview includes some fluff but it's substantive. Keep.
Check responsibilities list: It includes many items; we need to ensure we keep all. Let's extract from text:
