A service dog assists people who have disabilities, and service dog trainers teach dogs how to help people. As a service dog trainer, you teach dogs how to perform behaviors that assist those with auditory or visual impairments. Service dog trainers must be good with dogs and people, have strong teaching skills, and be attentive, patient, and adaptable. You may have a background in animal care or dog training. Your job may include matching service dogs with people and helping to build their relationships.

|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Certifications in dog training, specialized in assistive tasks | Dog training certifications, focus on socialization and obedience |
| Work Environment | Assist individuals with disabilities, training in various settings | Hospitals, schools, nursing homes, training in social environments |

Tracking progress and celebrating wins with clients.
What we’re looking for:
Experience working with dogs (professional training background preferred).
Comfortable using balanced training methods and tools (prong, e-collar, food/tug rewards, etc.).
Great people skills – you’ll be coaching owners as much as training dogs.
Reliable, professional, and excited to learn and grow.
Must have reliable transportation and flexibility for evenings/weekends.
Bonus points if you have:
Service dog or therapy dog training experience.
Previous dog training certifications.
Shelter, rescue, or vet tech background.
