Full Job Description

Dog Trainer – Puppy & Foundation Classes

Are you a creative, confident and passionate dog trainer who loves helping puppies, adolescent dogs and their humans start off on the right paw?

Future Proof Training Academy is looking for a Dog Trainer to run and grow our Puppy Classes and Foundation Classes, with the potential to expand into other training programs over time.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys teaching people, understands dog behaviour, can think creatively, and is confident working independently while still being part of a supportive team.

About the Role

You will be responsible for delivering engaging, fun and practical classes for puppies, young dogs and beginner-level handlers.

The main focus of this role will be:

Puppy Classes
Early learning, confidence building, socialisation skills, handling, basic cues, calmness, engagement and owner education.

Foundation Classes
Core obedience, lead skills, focus, impulse control, recall foundations, settling, confidence and practical life skills.

Over time, there may be opportunities to assist with or develop other classes, workshops and training programs.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

Fun, engaging and confident in front of a group
Creative and able to make classes enjoyable and practical
Self-sufficient and able to manage tasks without constant supervision
Organised, reliable and task-focused
Passionate about puppy development and early behaviour support
Comfortable teaching humans as well as training dogs
Clear and professional in communication
Able to think on their feet and adapt to different dogs and owners
Interested in growing puppy and foundation programs with us

Key Responsibilities

Deliver puppy and foundation classes in line with FPTA training standards
Prepare class plans, equipment and training areas before each session
Teach owners how to train, support and understand their dogs
Provide clear demonstrations and practical coaching
Monitor dog behaviour, arousal, confidence and stress levels during classes
Adjust exercises to suit individual dog and handler needs
Maintain safe, positive and structured learning environments
Complete class notes, attendance records and client follow-up information
Communicate with the team about dogs that may need extra support or referral
Help grow and improve the puppy and foundation class programs
Contribute ideas for new class content, handouts, workshops or client resources

Required Experience

The successful applicant should have experience in at least some of the following:

Delivering puppy classes, group classes or private training sessions
Coaching dog owners in basic obedience or life skills
Understanding puppy development, socialisation and early learning
Reading canine body language and recognising stress, fear, frustration and arousal
Using positive, reward-based training methods
Managing dogs in a group learning environment
Communicating clearly with clients and team members

Formal qualifications in dog training, animal behaviour, veterinary nursing, animal studies or a related field are highly regarded, but practical experience and the right attitude are also important.

Training Philosophy

Future Proof Training Academy uses modern, ethical and evidence-informed training approaches. We focus on positive reinforcement, welfare, emotional safety, clear communication and practical skill development.

We are not looking for trainers who rely on punishment-based methods, intimidation, check chains, e-collars or dominance-based handling.

The Ideal Person

You might be a great fit if you:

Love working with puppies and beginner handlers
Can bring energy and structure to a class
Enjoy creating fun learning experiences
Are confident, but still open to feedback
Want to help build something, not just turn up and teach
Can follow systems while also bringing fresh ideas
Are reliable, professional and easy to work with
Want to grow with a behaviour-focused training academy

Why Join Us?

At Future Proof Training Academy, we are passionate about improving the lives of dogs and their people through better education, better handling and better behavioural support.

This role has room to grow. For the right person, there may be opportunities to develop additional classes, workshops, enrichment programs or progress into more advanced training roles.

Hours

This is a casual or part-time role, with classes likely to be held during evenings and/or weekends.

Exact hours will depend on class demand, availability and program growth.

How to Apply

Please send through your resume and a short cover letter telling us:

Your experience with puppy or foundation training
Your training approach
Why you would be a good fit for Future Proof Training Academy
Any ideas you have for making puppy and foundation classes fun, engaging and effective

We are looking for someone who is excited to grow with us and help shape the next stage of our puppy and foundation training programs.

Pay: $30.00 – $50.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
