Responsibilities:

Train dogs in our day training program, teaching all behaviors outlined in the curriculum.
Educate owners through weekly one-on-one transfer sessions to ensure consistent follow-through at home.
Communicate with prospects via phone, email, and in-person to explain our program and convert them into clients.
Build strong, lasting relationships so owners look to Fetch for all daycare and boarding needs.
Guide clients at program completion into our Enrich University enrichment daycare.
Maintain detailed training schedules and department calendars to support efficient client onboarding.

Qualifications:

Prior experience training dogs and coaching owners in private or group settings.
Strong understanding of positive reinforcement techniques; CPDT certification is a plus but not required.
Confident, outgoing communicator who can clearly demonstrate skills and coach clients.
Independent worker with strong teamwork skills for shared housekeeping and dog-care tasks.
Excellent organizational abilities and a positive, professional attitude.
Leadership potential and interest in mentoring junior trainers or apprentices.

Additional Responsibilities:

Assist with general dog care: feeding, walking, administering medications.
Support facility cleanliness and sanitation.
Help make reservations and provide friendly customer service.

Schedule:

Full-time, 40 hours/week (Mon–Fri)
We have two shifts available: 7 am to 3 pm and 10 am to 6 pm. This position would require the 10 am to 6 pm shift on Fridays.

What we offer:

At Fetch Dog Resort, we blend expert training, compassionate care, and a warm, personalized experience that feels like a second home for dogs. If you’re a dedicated trainer who loves making a lifelong impact on dogs and their families, we’d love to meet you.
