Should I give my 2 weeks to these people?

I'll keep it fairly brief, but basically I got hired to be a dog trainer apprentice with a major pet retail store. During the interview, I was told I'd “be doing other tasks in between your classes”, like cashiering, stocking, etc. I don't particularly mind the work, it is incredibly easy work, but in the 2 weeks I've been there it has been purely retail work. Not a single word mentioned of dog training. They all know this is what I was hired for. They made it seem like it'd be like an 80/20 split, 80% dog training, maybe 20% retail work. I was all for that, I just wanted to do the dog training. As it is a fairly small store, I can see clear as day where they do the dog training, and most days there aren't even classes going (And I know there are plenty of dog…

As it is a fairly small store, I can see clear as day where they do the dog training, and most days there aren't even classes going (And I know there are plenty of dog trainers on staff, as I met 3-4 of them, and if they were so understaffed for dog trainers, why wouldn't they have started me on training for the position anyways?). I can't help but feel like I've been scammed into being just another crew member (not that there is anything wrong with that, it just isn't what I applied for). I'm ready to leave them, just wondering if it is worth giving them my 2 weeks. I have a feeling (due to the subreddit that I'm posting in), most of you would agree with me, so it probably isn't a good place to get an unbiased opinion, but I'm just curious to hear other people's takes. I've had trouble holding down a job recently, so I'm upset that I'm giving up on this one, but it really frustrates me that I was led to believe one thing and essentially got nothing.
