Classroom Volunteer Apprentice Trainer

This is a great way to get involved in dog training classes and learn about working with people and their dogs. This is a part-time commitment of a few hours a week in the evenings and on weekends; you would need to be able to  attend classes 3-4 hours once or twice a week on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday nights, and/or Saturday mornings.

This position starts off as volunteer – you trade your time helping us set up and take down the room, and helping with general classroom management, and we share our expertise.  Most of our volunteers do work into paid positions.

The successful candidate(s) will:

  • Have excellent people skills
  • Be a learning oriented problem solver and able to function in a sometimes hectic environment
  • Have good motor skills and coordination
  • Be able to lift and move things like floor matting, tables, chairs, and training equipment
  • Previous experience working with dogs,  past participants of our program or online equivalents (karenpryor, jeandonaldson, fenzi) is a bonus
  • Teaching or coaching experience preferred
