Pay: $25,000.00 - $35,000.00 per year
Job description:
Do you love dogs and their people? Are you interested in understanding how dogs think and work? Are you invested in improving relationships between dogs and their humans? Then, a career as a Professional Dog Trainer may be right for you!
Sally Said So! Professional Dog Training started in 2009 in the Triangle area and is now across the state with additional markets in Charlotte, Greensboro, Wilmington, and the Crystal Coast. We are successfully offering obedience training and behavior modification, using our reward-based training protocol, across all markets. Our trainers are among the most-referred to by professionals in their communities. We focus on behavior first and believe the relationship between dog and human is crucial to the training process. We provide training to owners of all breeds and types of behavioral issues.
We are interested in adding a part-time trainer to the Coastal team. This person will help us provide the most comprehensive and reliable dog training program available. The ideal candidate is:
A self-proclaimed dog nerd
A motivated self-starter
Someone who enjoys problem solving and critical thinking
A leader to clients and dogs
An individual with reliable transportation and time management skills
Has 2+ years of training or behavioral experience
Looking to supplement existing dog training income
We joke that while we call this "dog training" it's really more about "people training." You will spend a great deal of time educating clients on canine behavior while demonstrating and teaching them how to train their dogs. It's important our trainers can handle both sides of the leash!
Experience is welcomed; we believe in adding to your tool box, not emptying it. Support and CE is provided for all our trainers.
Got the people skills, but need some help with the dog side? Training is provided to the right candidate!
Our trainers are contractors. You control your availability and we will book consultations with potential clients for you. Clients are located throughout the coastal region, including Jacksonville, New Bern, Swansboro, and Emerald Isle.
We are looking for someone to provide private in-home and group training to existing and new clients.
Compensation is between $25k-$35k annually depending on availability. This position will primarily involve teaching private lessons at your clients' homes and group classes in the real world once the dog is ready.
