Full Job Description

Join the Dog Tribe LA Team

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Company Overview

Dog Tribe LA is a canine-centric organization dedicated to professional dog training, behavior development, and long-term canine wellness. As part of the Dog Tribe ecosystem, our mission is to foster strong, functional relationships between dogs and their owners through structured training systems, hands-on care, and professional standards.

Dog Tribe is built for people who want more than a job. We build dogs, trainers, and leaders through real work, mentorship, and accountability. As our Los Angeles location continues to grow, we’re looking for individuals who want to enter the dog training profession with purpose and direction.

Summary

This role is ideal for individuals seeking to become professional dog handlers or dog trainers. As a Dog Handler or Training Apprentice at Dog Tribe LA, you’ll work hands-on with dogs of all breeds while developing foundational skills in handling, behavior, facility operations, and training support within a structured, growth-oriented environment.

This is the entry point into a long-term career, not a casual dog care role.

Important: If you are not interested in becoming a professional dog trainer or canine care specialist, this position is not the right fit.

Tech 1 (T1)

Learn safe handling, kennel operations, feeding routines, cleaning protocols, and daily dog management.

Tech 2 (T2)

Advance into structured dog socialization, group management, and facility logistics.

Tech 3 (T3)

Work with higher-drive dogs, behavior cases, and dogs enrolled in training programs.

Team members will have the opportunity to attend our Dog Tribe Academy in Chicago!
