areAbout Us

Maximum Canine is a full-service dog training, behavior, fitness, and nutrition center located in Deer Park, NY. We are an established and rapidly growing training facility focused on building a strong community of dog owners and delivering real results. With continued expansion and plans for multiple locations, we offer significant opportunities for career growth within dog training, leadership, and management roles.

Position Overview

Maximum Canine is seeking an experienced dog trainer who can step in and contribute at a high level from day one. This is not an entry-level role—we are looking for someone with real, hands-on experience working full-time in dog training environments.

Support team development through leadership, collaboration, and guidance
Assist with daily operations and help maintain a high standard of training across the facility

Minimum 2+ years of full-time, professional dog training experience
Must have experience working directly with clients, not just handling dogs
Strong background in:
Private one-on-one training
Group classes
Board & train programs
Experience with a wide range of behavioral issues (reactivity, aggression, anxiety, etc.)
Understanding and the ability to apply multiple training methods

Highly Preferred (but not required):

Certifications in dog training
Background in dog sports, working dogs, or service dogs

Work Environment

This role requires working both indoors and outdoors in all weather conditions. Nights, weekends, and holidays may be required based on client demand. Travel may also be required.

Physical Requirements

Must be able to lift and carry up to 90 lbs and perform all physical aspects of dog training in various environments.

Schedule

Mornings, evenings, and at least one weekend day per week are required.

Compensation & Benefits

Starting salary: $52,000+ (based on experience)
Clear path to increased earnings through performance and advancement
Opportunities to grow into Lead Trainer and Management roles
Paid time off
Employee discount
