Position Overview

Do you have a passion for dogs and a desire to build a career in professional dog training? We are looking for a motivated, dependable Dog Training Apprentice to join our growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is eager to learn the art and science of dog training while gaining hands-on experience in a professional training environment.

During a structured apprenticeship of approximately 3+ months, you will work alongside the owner, learning canine behavior, training theory, handling skills, and effective communication with dogs and their owners. While training is a major component of this role, apprentices will also assist with the daily care and management of dogs in our facility.

Successful apprentices who demonstrate strong work ethic, reliability, and training aptitude may have opportunities for continued work with the company.

Responsibilities

Provide exceptional daily care for dogs in training.
Feed, water, exercise, and monitor the health and well-being of dogs.
Clean kennels, training areas, equipment, and common spaces.
Safely handle dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments.
Observe training sessions and assist with exercises under supervision.
Learn canine learning theory, behavior modification, obedience training, and handling techniques.
Practice training skills with guidance from the owner.
Assist with transporting dogs when needed.
Maintain accurate records and communicate observations about each dog's progress.
Represent the company professionally when interacting with clients and the public.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the apprenticeship, you will receive hands-on instruction in:

Canine body language and behavior
Learning theory and reward-based training principles
Marker training and timing
Leash handling skills
Basic obedience training
Behavior modification concepts
Client communication and education
Training business operations and professionalism

Qualifications

Passion for working with dogs and willingness to learn
Reliable, dependable, and punctual
Comfortable handling large, energetic dogs
Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions
Physically able to lift 50+ pounds and remain active throughout the day
Excellent communication and observation skills
Ability to take feedback and implement coaching
Must have a valid driver's license and reliable transportation
Must be at least 18 years old
Previous experience with dogs is preferred but not required

Schedule

Flexible scheduling based on training needs
Some evenings and weekends may be required

Compensation

Independent Contractor (1099)
Compensation discussed during the interview process

Ideal Candidate

The ideal apprentice is someone who wants more than "a job with dogs." They are eager to study dog behavior, enjoy learning through hands-on experience, take initiative, and are committed to becoming a skilled trainer. We value integrity, professionalism, patience, and a genuine desire to improve the lives of dogs and their owners.

If you're ready to learn from an experienced trainer and build a foundation for a career in dog training, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $15.00 - $40.00 per hour
