Do you love dogs? Have a passion for people and animals? If so, Zoom Room St Petersburg , wants YOU to join our energetic, fun loving, dog-obsessed team! We're more than a dog training center—we're a community built around helping people and their dogs thrive. We believe that quality dog training creates happier, more confident dogs and stronger relationships between pets and their families. Our mission is to educate, support, and empower dog owners while creating a fun, welcoming environment where both people and their dogs can learn, grow, and succeed together. We use positive reinforcement training and offer group and private classes in obedience, agility, puppy training, playgroups, as well as enrichment classes and workshops. Our motto is "We don't train dogs. We train the people who love them." When we look for new trainers, we're really focused on those with excellent people skills who are articulate communicators. We also prefer applicants who deeply care about making a difference in the community. If you have experience in pet care, veterinary assistance, or related fields, we encourage you to apply. What you'll do: Complete our comprehensive onboarding program, including online learning modules that introduce you to Zoom Room's philosophy, company policies and procedures, customer service standards, and the fundamentals of positive reinforcement dog training. Shadow experienced trainers in both group and private classes until you have demonstrated the skills and confidence needed to teach independently. Learn and confidently use our computer systems to manage class schedules, memberships, client communications, and daily operations. Conduct conversations with prospective clients, educate them on our programs, and confidently recommend the membership or training plan that best fits their goals. Build relationships with clients by providing exceptional customer service in person, over the phone, through email, and via text messaging. Keep the gym, lobby, retail area, and training spaces clean, organized, and welcoming throughout the day. Monitor the front desk, answer phones, respond to emails and text messages, and support the day-to-day operations of the facility.
