Full-Time Lead Dog Trainer

Peach on a Leash Dog Training – Milton, Georgia

Schedule: Sunday through Thursday, approximately 35 hours per week
Pay: $25–$30 per hour, based on professional training experience, qualifications, certifications, and demonstrated skill level
Employment Type: Full-time

Peach on a Leash Dog Training is seeking an experienced, dependable, and team-oriented Lead Dog Trainer to join our board-and-train team at our Milton location.

This is a hands-on training position for someone who can independently manage a caseload of dogs, create thoughtful and effective training plans, communicate clearly with clients, and work collaboratively with our assistant trainers and care team.

Our ideal candidate is confident in their training skills but remains open to feedback, continuing education, and collaboration. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of their dogs, schedule, client communication, and overall results without needing constant supervision.

Position Overview

Lead Trainers are responsible for overseeing each assigned dog’s training program from arrival through completion. This includes assessing the dog, establishing an individualized training plan, conducting daily training sessions, documenting progress, communicating with the client, and preparing the dog and family for a successful transition home.

Lead Trainers are generally responsible for a caseload of approximately five dogs at a time, with support from assistant trainers and the facility care team.

This position requires regular weekend availability. The standard schedule is Sunday through Thursday.

Primary Responsibilities

Develop and carry out individualized training plans for assigned board-and-train dogs
Conduct multiple purposeful training sessions with each assigned dog throughout the day
Train dogs in the facility and in appropriate real-world environments
Maintain responsibility for each dog’s progress, behavior, safety, and training outcomes
Provide clear daily updates, videos, and written notes for clients
Prepare for and conduct client drop-offs, go-home lessons, and follow-up sessions
Maintain accurate training, scheduling, and client records
Give clear direction and feedback to assistant trainers working with assigned dogs
Collaborate professionally with fellow trainers, assistant trainers, the facility manager, and the care team
Ensure training equipment, training rooms, and shared workspaces remain organized
Identify concerns early and communicate promptly with leadership
Follow all company safety, handling, sanitation, and documentation procedures
Participate in staff education, case discussions, and continuing professional development
Provide humane, ethical, and individualized training consistent with company standards

Training Philosophy

Peach on a Leash is committed to humane, evidence-based training practices. Our trainers use positive reinforcement and follow LIMA-based principles while considering the individual dog, family, environment, and training goals.

Candidates must be comfortable working within an established training philosophy and collaborating with other professionals. We are not seeking trainers who rely on intimidation, fear, pain, or harsh corrections.

Required Qualifications

Professional dog training experience, preferably in a board-and-train, day-training, shelter, veterinary, daycare, or kennel environment
Ability to independently evaluate dogs and develop appropriate training plans
Strong understanding of canine body language, learning theory, reinforcement, and behavior
Experience working with common concerns such as leash pulling, jumping, overexcitement, lack of impulse control, fearfulness, and mild to moderate reactivity
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Confidence communicating with clients and teaching human learners
Ability to manage multiple dogs, appointments, deadlines, and daily responsibilities
Ability to work independently while also functioning well within a team
Reliable transportation and the ability to transport dogs when required
Availability to work the full Sunday-through-Thursday schedule
Ability to safely handle dogs of varying sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels
Ability to perform the physical requirements of the position, including standing, walking, bending, lifting, and working outdoors in varying weather conditions

Preferred Qualifications

CPDT-KA, KPA-CTP, VSA-CDT, IAABC, Fear Free, or comparable professional education or certification
Experience conducting board-and-train go-home lessons and follow-up appointments
Experience coaching or supervising assistant trainers
Experience working with behavioral cases
Strong video, written-update, and client-education skills
A demonstrated commitment to continuing education

Certification is valued but is not a substitute for sound judgment, strong handling skills, professionalism, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

What Success Looks Like

A successful Lead Trainer at Peach on a Leash:

Takes full ownership of their assigned dogs and client experience
Begins training promptly and uses the workday productively
Maintains clear, accurate, and timely communication
Provides consistent direction to assistant trainers
Notices problems before they become emergencies
Accepts feedback professionally and makes adjustments
Balances independence with collaboration
Produces meaningful, realistic progress for both dogs and their families
Treats dogs, clients, and coworkers with patience and respect

Compensation and Benefits

$25–$30 per hour, based on experience and qualifications
Approximately 35 hours per week
Paid time off for eligible full-time employees
Employer contribution toward health insurance
Optional dental, vision, life insurance, and retirement benefits
Continuing education and professional development opportunities
Supportive team environment with opportunities for long-term growth
