Full Job Description

Experienced Dog Trainer

Turn Skills Into Success. Change Lives One Dog at a Time.

Do you have a passion for helping dogs become happier, more confident, and better behaved? Are you an experienced trainer who loves seeing that moment when a dog finally “gets it” and a pet parent realizes what’s possible?

We’re looking for an Experienced Dog Trainer to join our team and take a lead role in creating meaningful results for dogs and their families.

This is more than teaching sit, stay, and come. You’ll help dogs build confidence, help pet parents better understand their dogs, and give families the tools they need to create stronger relationships with their pets.

You’ll also have the opportunity to mentor other trainers, work alongside resort leadership, and help grow a successful training program.

What You’ll Do

Every dog is different, and that’s what makes this job so rewarding. You’ll use your experience and creativity to help each dog reach its potential.

Deliver customized training through private lessons, day training, and board-and-train programs
Use approved training tools and methodologies to create safe, effective, and rewarding training experiences
Lead engaging group training classes and help pet parents feel confident continuing the training at home
Meet with pet parents for detailed orientations and behavior consultations to understand their goals and recommend the right training program
Track each dog’s progress and celebrate the wins—big and small
Partner with resort leadership to help grow training revenue, utilization, and occupancy
Mentor and support newer trainers, sharing your knowledge, experience, and best practices
Help train team members across the resort on safe handling, enrichment, and basic obedience
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe training environment where dogs can learn and thrive
Keep accurate training records, behavior notes, progress updates, and client communications
Participate in marketing events and help showcase our training programs through photos, videos, and other content
Recognize behavioral or care concerns and communicate them quickly to leadership
Jump in and support the team wherever your expertise is needed

What We’re Looking For

Professional dog training experience is required—private lessons, group classes, day training, board-and-train, or similar
Strong understanding of canine behavior, learning theory, and safe handling
Ability to explain training concepts in a way that makes sense and feels achievable for pet parents
Excellent communication, interpersonal, and customer service skills
Organized, dependable, and great at following through with clients
Comfortable working in a busy, multi-dog environment
Able to learn and use reservation and POS systems
Flexible and dependable, with weekend and holiday availability required
Ability to stand for extended periods, walk, kneel, crouch, and lift up to 50 lbs
Able to confidently observe dog behavior, movement, and vocalizations and respond appropriately to maintain a safe environment

Preferred Experience

These aren't required, but they’re a big plus:

Professional dog training certification such as CPDT-KA, KPA, IAABC, or similar
Experience mentoring, coaching, or leading other trainers
Experience working in a pet resort, daycare, boarding facility, or other multi-dog environment

Why You’ll Love This Role

This is an opportunity to do work that actually makes a difference.

You’ll see nervous dogs gain confidence, energetic dogs learn focus, and pet parents become more connected with their four-legged family members. You’ll celebrate progress, solve challenges, and help create those rewarding “look what my dog can do!” moments.

You’ll also have the opportunity to:

Work in an established, professional training program
Use your expertise to help shape training standards
Mentor and develop other trainers
Build relationships with dogs and their families
Be part of a collaborative team that truly cares about pets
Help grow a successful training program
Continue developing your own skills and expertise

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you’re an experienced Dog Trainer who loves teaching, leading, and seeing dogs succeed, this is your opportunity to turn your passion into something truly rewarding.

Bring your experience. Bring your patience. Bring your love for dogs.

Come help us create happier dogs, more confident pet parents, and a whole lot of tail-wagging success!

Pay: From $17.00 per hour
