About Suburban K9
Suburban K9 is an established dog training company with locations across the country. We’ve helped thousands of families build better relationships with their dogs through our Dog Boot Camp and In-Home Training programs.
Our mission is to create a life for dogs and their owners where both are happy and stress-free.
We’re proud to foster a culture of care and support where every team member feels valued and set up for success.
The Role
We’re excited to grow our team in Orlando, FL and we are searching for a motivated Territory Manager/Dog Trainer who is ready to train dogs, take on a leadership role, and make an impact in the community!
Suburban K9 is a fun, energetic company that gives you everything you need to thrive as a professional dog trainer. As a dog trainer with Suburban K9, you’ll enjoy great pay, full benefits, and the support of an amazing team that truly has your back! If you love dogs and want to make a real impact, we’d love to meet you!
Responsibilities
As the Territory Manager for our Orlando location, you will lead both the training and business efforts in Orlando:
- Provide professional dog training services, working hands-on with both dogs and their owners
- Build strong, lasting relationships through consistent communication with clients and team members
- Proactively market your services to generate new client leads and grow your territory
- Develop and maintain local business partnerships to expand community presence
- Oversee and manage the Orlando territory’s clients, operations, and overall performance
- Recruit, mentor, and support additional trainers as the territory grows
- Represent Suburban K9 with professionalism, integrity, and enthusiasm in the community
What We’re Looking For (Requirements)
We’re seeking an experienced, self-driven Dog Trainer to lead and grow our Orlando territory while delivering exceptional results for clients and their dogs. This is not an entry-level training role — we’re looking for someone ready to step in with confidence, operate independently, and collaborate with our team for continued success.
- 5+ years of professional, hands-on dog training experience, including working with clients and their dogs as a unit
- Strong, professional communication skills, both verbal and written
- Proven ability to work independently, stay organized, and manage multiple responsibilities
- Leadership mindset with the drive to grow the territory and recruit/train additional trainers as needed
- Confident decision-maker who thrives with autonomy but values team support
Schedule
This is a full-time position, 40 hours per week with the potential for overtime, combining professional dog training, territory growth and marketing efforts, and the leadership and support of trainers within the Orlando area. After a 4–6 week onboarding and training period to learn Suburban K9’s processes and policies, you will have flexibility in structuring your schedule to best serve your clients and territory.
Location
This role takes you throughout the Orlando area, meeting clients, training dogs, marketing locally, collaborating with other trainers, and working remotely from home. Travel is required, so a dependable car that can safely transport dogs is necessary. Travel for the job is always paid. Without a brick-and-mortar office, all work is done wherever it makes the most impact.
Compensation
Pay starts at $26.00 per hour, with trainers who have 10+ years of experience earning up to $30.00 per hour after a training period! We value your expertise and make sure it shows in your paycheck.
Benefits
- Paid time off starts on Day 1
- Additional paid leave programs
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) retirement plan
- Employee Stock Ownership Program
- Free T-Mobile cell phone service
- Employee rewards & recognition program
- Earn cash prizes for referrals and reviews
- Sales contests with awesome prizes
- Toll reimbursement & paid travel time
- Company-provided crates and cleaning supplies
- Flexible scheduling (after training)
- Quarterly profitability-based bonus for managers
