Full Job Description

About Us

The Pet Care Club of Seattle is redefining pet care by integrating behavior, enrichment, and training into everyday life.

We are not a traditional dog walking company—and we are not a traditional training company.

Our model is built on the belief that real behavior change happens in real environments, through consistent, thoughtful interactions, not isolated training sessions.

We are building a team of professionals who see dogs through a behavioral, emotional, and welfare-based lens—not just compliance.

The Role

We are hiring a professional dog trainer to help lead and expand our training and enrichment programs. Our service area generally spans from Capitol Hill to Mill Creek, but we are specifically looking for help in the northern end of our territory.

This role is focused on:

Private training sessions
Behavior support and modification
Integrating training into real-life care environments
Supporting and guiding our internal team to maintain consistency

You will play a key role in shaping how training is delivered across the entire company.

Our Training Philosophy

We are a force-free, fear-free, science-based training company.

That means:

We use positive reinforcement as our primary teaching method
We prioritize emotional safety, agency, and trust
We utilize desensitization and counterconditioning for behavior change
We focus on reducing stress, not suppressing behavior

We do not allow:

Prong, choke, or shock collars
Startle, intimidation, or correction-based methods
Dominance theory or “alpha” frameworks

This aligns with modern behavioral science and humane training standards, which emphasize reinforcing desired behaviors and avoiding fear or pain-based techniques.

If you consider yourself a “balanced trainer,” this will not be the right fit.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Conducting private, in-home and real-world training sessions
Addressing behavior challenges such as:

Reactivity
Fear and anxiety
Overstimulation
Leash skills and engagement

Creating customized, humane behavior modification plans
Coaching clients with clarity and empathy
Supporting internal staff with training guidance and consistency

Who We’re Looking For

This role is for someone who:

Has a strong foundation in learning theory and behavior science
Understands canine body language at a deep level
Naturally thinks in terms of:

Thresholds
Triggers
Nervous system regulation

Believes training should improve a dog’s emotional state, not just behavior
Can communicate in a way that builds trust with both dogs and humans
Wants to be part of a company that is raising the standard of care

Preferred Qualifications

CPDT-KA, KPA-CTP, IAABC, or Fear Free Certification (strongly preferred)
Hands-on experience with behavior cases (not just basic obedience)
Experience working directly with clients in private training settings

Employment Details

W-2 employee (not contractor)
Competitive hourly pay (aligned with Seattle living wage standards)
Paid training and continuing education opportunities
Opportunity for growth into senior trainer/program development roles
