Full Job Description

Dog Trainer & Behavior Consultant

Location: Reno, NV
Position Type: Part-time employee (with opportunity for growth)

Fur & Feather Works is seeking an experienced dog trainer to provide private, in-home training and behavior modification services for clients, primarily in the South Reno area.

This role is designed for a skilled professional who is confident handling complex behavior cases, enjoys coaching clients with empathy and clarity, and aligns with force-free, science-based training practices.

Primary Responsibilities

Conduct private, in-home behavior consultations and training sessions

Work with moderate to complex behavior concerns, including:

Reactivity (people and dogs)
Fear, anxiety, and stress-related behaviors
Aggression cases within scope (with referral protocols as needed)
Impulse control and arousal regulation

Sell appropriately sized and designed training packages

Develop and implement individualized behavior modification plans

Help clients set realistic behavior change goals, then coach them through with light text and email support between sessions

Maintain detailed session notes and provide clients with written “homework” reminders promptly after each session

Collaborate with the Fur & Feather Works team when cases require additional input or referral

Represent Fur & Feather Works professionally and compassionately in client homes

Required Qualifications

CPDT-KA certification or higher
Formal post-secondary education of some kind, in any field
Demonstrated professional experience working behavior modification cases
Strong foundation in learning theory, behavior science, and humane training practices
Commitment to a LIMA protocol
Excellent client communication and coaching skills
Ability to work independently while following established business protocols
Reliable transportation and willingness to travel to client homes
Comfort working with emotionally charged clients and sensitive cases

Strongly Preferred

Professional certifications such as:
IAABC (ADT, CDBC)
CPDT-KA / CPDT-KSA
KPA-CTP or equivalent
Experience collaborating with veterinarians or other pet professionals
Continuing education in aggression, fear, anxiety, or reactivity
Interest in long-term professional growth within a team setting
Proficiency in Google Calendar and Google Drive
Familiarity with specific behavior mod protocols such as BAT & Pattern Games

What We Offer

Employee position (W-2), not independent contractor
Competitive per-session pay, based on experience and credentials
Flexible scheduling within agreed availability
Administrative support, scheduling, insurance, and marketing provided
Access to established protocols, resources, and client materials
Ongoing professional development opportunities, including a $500 annual stipend to be spent on continuing education
A collaborative, ethical and supportive team that prioritizes both dog welfare, owner support, and trainer sustainability

Who This Role Is Ideal For

A seasoned trainer who wants to do in-home behavior work without running their own business
A professional who values structure, support, and ethical standards
A trainer who works best as part of a supportive team, not in a lonely vacuum
Someone who wants to focus on clients and dogs—not marketing, billing, or admin
