The Things We Do

Our company offers a variety of different training options for our clients. From basic obedience classes, board and train programs, to in-home appointments, we’re able to tackle a vast range of behavioral issues! Our trainers undergo an engaging and informative apprenticeship program which provides extensive exposure to some of the most common issues dog owners face today. We understand dogs have the ability to add a great deal of stress to their owners’ lives, and we’re here to lend a helping hand!
Our trainers spend most of their time on our two main services, in home training and boarding and training. Our trainers generally take two dogs into their home at a time to fully train them and then train the owners after the board and train is complete. This is a fun way to earn a living, help clients, and have a truly flexible schedule.
 

Who are we looking for?

We’re always looking for people that are willing to go outside of their comfort zone. It’s certainly “unconventional” to make a career out of dog training, but we’re looking for those who are willing to make their passion into a day job. Our trainers are motivated. They want to learn, and continue to do so. They’re well spoken, confident, and empathetic with our clients.
During the last 10 years we grew steadily in our home market of Chicago and then expanded to additional locations throughout the Country. All of our current locations are extremely busy and now we’re looking to expand further! We’re looking for individuals throughout the country that want to join our growing company.

What we’re not

We are not a franchised company. Franchise opportunities often cost up to $100,000 or more! You don’t pay us to become a Suburban K9 trainer. We pay you! Your apprenticeship program is very thorough and intense. Not only will you learn a massive amount about dog behavior, but you will be paid the whole time. How awesome is that?
Franchises often function just like a game of telephone. What person 1 said and what person 10 heard are often very different. We at Suburban K9 take pride in the consistency of our quality training and techniques. We won’t water down our product to fatten up our wallets. We expand slow, and we do it right.

How do you apply?

Here is our Online Application. Don’t overlook putting your cover letter and resume in the application, that’ll be important to us. Please do not call our front office to inquire, as the receptionists are extremely busy booking appointments for our trainers!
