Full Job Description

JRK9 is looking for a dependable, hardworking person who wants to build a long-term career working with dogs.

This position begins with kennel technician responsibilities. The right person may gradually earn opportunities to assist with training and advance into a combined Kennel Technician and Apprentice Trainer position.

This is not a position where you immediately begin training dogs. Before someone can be trusted to train our clients’ dogs, they must demonstrate that they can reliably care for them, follow instructions, recognize changes in behavior or health, and maintain JRK9’s standards every day.

Initial responsibilities

Cleaning and sanitizing kennels, crates, floors, equipment, and common areas
Pottying dogs individually and safely
Feeding dogs according to their individual instructions
Washing bowls, bedding, laundry, and training equipment
Monitoring dogs for changes in behavior, appetite, elimination, or health
Maintaining accurate care records
Preparing dogs and equipment for training sessions
Following established handling and safety procedures
Helping keep the facility clean, organized, and operating smoothly

Cleaning and kennel care are major parts of this job. Applicants must be willing to perform these responsibilities consistently—not only until training opportunities become available.

Training opportunities may include

Once reliability, judgment, and handling skills have been demonstrated, the apprentice may begin learning:

Canine body language and safe handling
Marker communication
Leash handling and leash-pressure guidance
foundational obedience exercises
Proper use and care of JRK9 training equipment
How to document training sessions
How to follow an individual dog’s training plan
How to work with dogs at different stages of a board-and-train program

Advancement is earned through consistency, coachability, safe decision-making, and demonstrated skill. It is not based solely on time employed.

We are looking for someone who

Wants a long-term position and meaningful growth within JRK9
Is genuinely interested in learning our training system
Understands that excellent dog trainers must also understand daily kennel care
Can work substantial and consistent hours
Has dependable transportation
Is available for some weekends and holidays
Arrives on time and completes assigned work without constant supervision
Can follow detailed instructions without improvising
Accepts correction without becoming defensive
Communicates promptly and professionally
Remains calm around barking, messes, strong dogs, and difficult behavior
Pays attention to small changes that could affect a dog’s safety or health
Is comfortable working indoors and outdoors in varying Texas weather
Can stand, bend, clean, walk, and perform physical work throughout a shift
Can safely handle dogs of different sizes and strengths

This position may not be a good fit if you

Only want to train dogs and do not want to clean kennels
Are primarily looking for temporary experience before pursuing something else
Frequently change jobs or have inconsistent availability
Want to use personal training methods instead of following an established system
Struggle with direct feedback, repetition, physical work, or detailed procedures
Believe that enjoying dogs is the same as being prepared to work professionally with them
Are uncomfortable working weekends, holidays, early mornings, or changing schedules

Experience

Professional dog experience is helpful but not required. Reliability, judgment, work ethic, and willingness to learn are more important than claiming extensive experience.

Applicants with personal dogs or prior training experience must still be willing to learn and consistently follow JRK9’s methods and procedures.

Compensation and advancement

Starting kennel technician pay: $10 per hour
Hands-on education and supervised skill development
Opportunity to earn additional training responsibilities
Potential advancement into a combined kennel technician and training role
Advancement and future compensation are based on performance, reliability, skill development, business needs, and available responsibilities

This is a serious opportunity for someone who wants to gain a well rounded understanding of the operation—not simply collect dog-training experience.

Pay: $10.00 - $14.00 per hour

Benefits:

On-the-job training

Language:

English (Required)

Shift availability:

Day Shift (Required)
Night Shift (Required)
Overnight Shift (Preferred)

Ability to Commute:

Denton, TX 76208 (Required)

Work Location: In person
