Our ideal candidate
## What the right trainer brings
### Experience and craft
- Experienced with working a wide variety and range of dogs and behavior issues
- Working your own dog in some capacity
- Ready and willing to work with a high caliber team, and understand the value of doing so. NO EGO. We mean it. We do what we do because we love helping dogs and their owners; it's about them, not us. We have an incredible team of highly talented and successful trainers, you must be a good addition to that.
### How you work
- Excellent with communication and organization
- Graduates of Highland K9, TRS, Tarheel Canine, NePoPo, Kennelwood Academy (or schools along those lines)
- You will need a reliable car, as you will be driving to clients
Perks of the job
## You focus on the dogs. We handle the rest.
Clients are pre-screened, marketing and advertising are handled, and you keep the majority of every package you sell — with the goal of getting trainers to 70% as quickly as possible.

All trainers are independent contractors and set their own schedules.
- You'll be busy if you want to be. For private in home — plan for at least 10-20 new clients per month, largely based on your availability
- All trainers are ICs — you set your own schedule
- It's a sweet gig where you are going to focus on the clients, and we take care of the rest (clients are pre-screened, we handle all marketing, advertising, social media, etc)!
- You are paid well for your hard work. Our trainers make 50-70% of total training packages sold, depending on experience (with the goal to get trainers being paid 70% as quickly as possible).
- We have a team of dog trainers with a huge knowledge base to bounce ideas off of. All our trainers are hugely supportive of each other.
- You are trained by an award winning, nationally recognized company on how we do things.
