Peach on a Leash is seeking a science-based, reward-based Professional Dog Trainer to join our private training team in the Atlanta area. This role primarily involves conducting private training sessions in clients’ homes, with potential opportunities to support other services within the company as needed.

This is a commission-based position with strong earning potential based on caseload. Peach on a Leash handles marketing, client acquisition, scheduling support, and administrative systems so trainers can focus on providing excellent training and client care.

The ideal candidate genuinely enjoys working with both dogs and people, is confident coaching clients through real-life training challenges, and has demonstrated a commitment to continued education and professional growth.

This position is a strong fit for someone who is self-motivated, organized, and comfortable working independently, while also enjoying being part of a supportive team of experienced trainers.

Responsibilities

Private trainers are responsible for working one-on-one with clients and their dogs to address a variety of training goals, including puppy foundations, manners, leash skills, confidence building, household management, reactivity, and behavior modification.

Responsibilities include:

Strong understanding of dog body language, learning theory, and humane training practices
Excellent communication and client-coaching skills
Reliability, professionalism, and strong time management skills
CPDT-KA, CDBC, or similar certification is preferred
Candidates who are not currently certified should be willing to sit for an appropriate certification exam during the next offered testing period

Training Philosophy

Peach on a Leash is a positive reinforcement-based, LIMA-aligned training company. We do not use e-collars, prong collars, choke chains, leash corrections, intimidation, or similar tools in any of our programs.

Applicants should either already have experience with reward-based training methods or be fully committed to learning and practicing within that framework.

Ideal Candidate

The right candidate is compassionate, professional, and passionate about helping dogs and their people live more peacefully together. They should be able to explain training concepts clearly to everyday pet owners, create practical and realistic training plans, and handle client relationships with patience and confidence.

We are looking for someone who values dog welfare, client education, teamwork, and continued growth in the field of modern dog training.
