CAMPUS TEACHER

Campus: Hamilton

Role ID: HCT200808

Employment Type: Casual

This, legitimately, is a career like no other. Because we can promise you from the jump, there is no other environment like this in Australia. Simply, we are looking for humans just as passionate about our vision, our mission, as the rest of our team is.

Campus Teachers have probably the hardest but most rewarding job on campus; educating dogs, educating owners, educating team! If an averagely excitable morning sounds like flicking between working a 70kg dog reactive Alaskan Malamute, to a human anxious female Australian Cattle Dog X, to a 20wk old Beagle on their Obedience certificate and helping another team member with appropriate acoustic behaviours in territory, then this is absolutely for you.. If you have the skills!

With plenty of coffee in between... You'll need it!!

Does the Campus Teacher role require prior dog training experience or formal training?

Absolutely, you aren't picking up the leash as a Campus Teacher to educate any dogs without it!

The minimum requirement is the Cert III in Dog Behaviour and Training provided by NDTF & Precise Training. That's holding the certificate too! If you are still studying, then hold out until we are looking for Student Teachers, which is the role we have on campus that is suited for dog trainers still learning. Campus Teachers are the legit bad asses of education on campus; you can't be still studying.

The next requirement is an open mind to potentially new and dynamic ways of educating canines. We are looking for trainers who can humbly put their ego aside and do what's best for the dog and their family to achieve their short term and long term development goals, in a high performance fashion.

Make no mistake, the Campus Dean and their Campus Teachers are a high performance unit. Performance is measured by the quality of the education provided which achieves key education milestones, in the shortest time possible. This opens the spot for the next family in need as we only admit set numbers to our programs to maximise learning performance. Our aim is to graduate these dogs! Not to sign families up to years of unnecessary costs and hardships. This is why our educational programs are so incredibly popular, because our team of dynamic educators are superstars!

As far as experience goes, we ideally are after canine educators that have experience in using a diverse array of tools & techniques. This coupled with experience in high end human & dog reactive dogs, anxious and stimuli phobic dogs, general obedience and of course, all of the fun and unique areas of development in educating incredibly bored dogs in the modern urban environment.

Now, we don't expect field leading expertise in all of these areas. Being strong in one or two areas is highly regarded. However, if this is your very first professional role as a dog trainer, our Student Teacher role is probably better suited.
