* Excellent communication and people skills.

* The ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

* Reliable transportation and dependable attendance.

## The Kind of Person We're Looking For

Technical skill is only part of what makes a great trainer.

We want someone who is:

* Honest and trustworthy

* Reliable and accountable

* Humble and always willing to learn

* Easy to work with

* Professional with clients

* Patient with both dogs and people

* Passionate about developing exceptional dog teams

* Comfortable giving and receiving constructive feedback

* A positive representative of our company

## Bonus Qualifications

These are not required but are highly valued:

* Multiple competition titles or certifications

* Experience handling difficult behavioral cases

* Experience teaching group classes

* Experience training service dogs or working dogs

* Knowledge of balanced training methods and modern learning theory

* Experience creating training plans and documenting progress

* Social media or educational content creation experience

## What We Offer

* Competitive pay based on experience

When applying, please include:

* A resume
