We're looking for someone who is confident handling dogs with a range of behavioural challenges and who enjoys working closely with both dogs and their owners. Experience with balanced training methods is highly regarded, although ongoing professional development will be provided.

Intern Canine Trainer

No previous professional dog training experience is required.

We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for dogs who is eager to learn, takes initiative and wants to build a long term career in the canine industry.

You'll receive hands on mentoring from our experienced trainers while developing the practical skills needed to become a professional Canine Trainer.
