One dog could not be left alone for three years

For three years, one blind Aussie could not be left alone. He barked, chewed, and tried to escape out of windows. His family had tried other trainers, daycares, and boarding. Nothing worked.

Then he came to us. Today he goes to daycare every day and, in his owner’s words, is “the happiest and healthiest he has ever been.”

A team of people like you helped write that ending. Now we are looking for the next one.

Do you want a job you look forward to?

Some jobs are only for the money or the convenience. You show up, count the minutes, and go home wondering if any of it mattered. This is not that job. At Train Walk Poop, you spend your day doing work you love, and you go home knowing you made a difference.

Someone who worked here wrote in a review: “I had so much fun during my time working here, and like any job it can get stressful from time to time. But the team is amazing, and they always figure out a way to get through things together.”

Who we are

We are a dog training, daycare, and boarding business in South Salt Lake. We have been training dogs since 2007, and we have worked with thousands of dogs. We have more than 265 five-star Google reviews, and we have been on ABC4 and Fox13. We started where you are, and nearly all of our trainers began as kennel techs.

You do not need to already be a dog trainer. You need to love dogs, pay close attention, and want to learn. We teach you the rest, with a team beside you and a clear path to grow.

How it works

  1. Tell us about you. Send us your info in the form above.
  2. Meet the team. We will invite you to an in person interview.
  3. Get paid to level up your dog training skills. Learn on the job, get coached by our team, and earn raises as you grow.

Your path here

On day 1, you start as a Junior Kennel Tech. About day 14, you are a full member of the play group team, and we celebrate it. About day 60 to 90, you drop “Junior.” Along the way you can earn three certifications. Each one comes with a raise, and you also get raises on your work anniversary. Techs can grow into Senior and Master Tech roles, and many move on to become trainers.
