K9PAD is looking for a Trainer or Trainers to join our team. We use science-based, fear-free, R+ methods. Someone that is a self-starter, experienced in these methods, and open to learning, would make a good fit within our Training Team. Experience with service dogs is not required, but definitely an asset. We are looking for someone to assist with various aspects of training. Puppy Classes Obedience Classes Private lessons Public Access Training Socialization Service Dog tasks Each applicant does not have to be fluent in each type of training.  We currently conduct weekly training sessions with our puppy raisers on Sundays. There is some flexibility with this position. We are looking to balance the training requirements amongst more trainers. Some private lessons, socialization, public access training, and service dog tasks would be taught throughout the month (flexible schedule). Trainers are provided with outlines and lesson plans to follow and are required to submit logs and reports. We are a small organization so we are looking for someone that is dedicated and available for a one year term, with possibility of extension. Please send us any questions that you may have!
