Dog Trainer (Senior or Assistant Head)

About The Hub The Hub is a membership-based dog training and enrichment space located at City Center Bishop Ranch. Our approach is built around the idea that training should be an ongoing part of a dog's life — not just something people do when there's a problem. Members come to us for classes, enrichment activities, social experiences, workshops, coworking, and day-to-day support with their dogs. We've built a strong community over the past year and are looking for an experienced trainer to join our growing team. About the Position This role is designed around scheduled sessions rather than traditional hourly facility work. Compensation is tied to lessons, classes, and programs taught, with session rates intended to account for preparation and follow-up responsibilities. Because trainers are not expected to stay on-site between sessions unless scheduled, the position offers more flexibility than many conventional training facility roles. We also use systems that reduce administrative workload, including digital note-taking tools and streamlined client communication processes.
