Dog Trainer

The Ranch Dog Training
Los Angeles, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 7/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/22/2026

What if I told you…

We'll give you a superpower that helps you communicate with dogs.

Imagine getting paid to develop a lifelong skill that allows you to better understand dogs, their behavior, and how they communicate, while learning from one of the top dog training teams in the country.

Okay, I'm listening…

We're looking for a passionate, hard-working individual to join our team as a Full-Time Dog Trainer at our facility in West LA.

Professional dog handling experience is required, such as kennel work, dog training, grooming, daycare, boarding, or similar hands-on dog care experience. This needs to be more than just owning or growing up with personal dogs.

You do not need professional dog training experience to apply. We'll train the trainer!

We're not a big box corporation or some rinky-dink doggie daycare. We're a thriving small business that's changing the doggie game. We invest heavily in our team and want you to enjoy what you do while being challenged, supported, and encouraged to grow into an all-star dog handler, communicator, and trainer.

We rarely have job openings, so jump on this opportunity before it's gone.

Tell me more…

During your training period, you'll work alongside experienced dog trainers and management to set you up for success. We'll teach you dog body language, behavior, communication, leash handling skills, and the core philosophies and fundamentals of dog training.
