Full Job Description

Job description

You didn’t become a dog trainer just to burn worrying about how to find clients, dealing with paperwork, managing schedules, and dealing clients who don’t follow through- this is your sign to make a change.

Why Command Canine?

Being a great dog trainer is hard enough- you’ve put in the work to become a great trainer- now it’s time to work somewhere that values you.

No more chasing leads. That’s right. We handle sales, marketing, and client onboarding - you just train.
We’re all about real training. No gimmicks, no one-size-fits-all programs- just balanced, relationship-based behavior modification and obedience.
We support our trainers. That means professional structure, clear expectations, and a team of trainers who work and grow together.
We get the tough cases. From reactivity, anxiety, to confidence-building, we work with owners who are serious about their dogs.

Based in Lake Norman, and we have become a leader in the Charlotte market for behavior modification. So much so that we have become the official training company of some of the largest sanctuaries and rescues in the US and Canada, trusted to rehabilitate extreme behavioral issues - including dogs used in medial experimentation. (Lab research dogs)

Locally, you'll primarily work with dog owners that have obedience and behavioral issues with their pet dogs. Our cleinetellte is awesome! Middle-upper middle income levels and people that are fully engaged with the training process. Great clients make the work so easier and more rewarding.

You'll experience an amazing team culture - working together frequently and learning from one another. Our team members are all extremely experienced and always willing to help whenever needed.

We provide a very professional management structure - unlike anyone else in the industry. We make things clear and easy for you.

If you are looking for an exciting opportunity with a company that is rapidly growing - offering REAL growth opportunities, and making a REAL impact, this is it!

Who We’re Looking For

We’re hiring experienced trainers who:

Have at least 3 years of experience in dog training (obedience & behavior).
Know how to handle reactivity, anxiety, and behavior modification cases.
Are great communicators—training owners is just as important as training the dogs.
Want to be part of a structured, professional, and well-run team.

What You’ll Do

In-Person & Virtual Lessons

Train 2-4 private clients per day, either in their home (local to you) or virtually.
Provide session notes, homework, and client updates.

AND/OR

Board & Trains

Board 1-3 dogs at a time in your home.
Conduct 3-5 lessons per day per dog during their stay.
Handle daily care—feeding, cleaning, exercise, and structured training.
Send daily updates to clients (videos, pictures, text updates).
Provide progress reports and communicate any issues to the Head Trainer.
Complete end-of-program training for clients.

What We Offer

$70,000 - $90,000 per year (full-time potential earnings)
No client acquisition, no sales—we handle that for you
Flexible schedule (set your own hours)
Opportunities for growth & professional development

Trainers deserve better. Dogs deserve better. Owners deserve better.
Come help us make it happen!

We’re growing quickly throughout North Carolina, and we’re looking for team members who are excited to grow with us, take on new opportunities, and advance their careers as we expand.
