Pet Trainer

Pet Trainer Role Overview

As a Pet Trainer at PetSmart, you will be responsible for leading engaging classes to pet parents for all stages of their pet's lives. You will take part in our Pet Training Instructor Accreditation Program to learn proven techniques developed by leading dog trainers.

About the Role

As a PetSmart Pet Trainer, you will be hands-on with pets and leading our Pet Training Programs. Your responsibilities will include:

• Teaching classes to a variety of dog breeds, sizes, and ages
• Leading each class with an emphasis on the safety and comfort for pets and pet parents
• Guiding pets through our Pet Therapy Training Program
• Building strong bonds with all two-legged and four-legged members of your class

About Your Career

While 'sit' and 'stay' are common words in our classes, they do not describe your career. With PetSmart, you will have opportunities to gain experience in a different business unit, develop your leadership skills, and transfer to any one of our 1600 stores nationwide.

The Warm and Fuzzies

We've highlighted job responsibilities as best as we could above, but the best parts of working at PetSmart can't be fully described in the job description. It's the excitement you feel when you help a little one pick out his very first fish, the relief Rosie feels when you help her mom select the best food for her upset tummy, and the pride of giving Mickey a makeover in our salons.

Working at PetSmart is not a job, it's a community of those who work together for the love of pets.
