Others are meant to change their lives.
Karma Dog Training™ is expanding throughout Orange County, and we are searching for compassionate, dependable, emotionally intelligent people who want to build meaningful work around helping dogs and the families who love them.
You may already be an experienced professional.
You may be a dog walker, pet sitter, veterinary assistant, rescue volunteer, teacher, caregiver, psychology student, or lifelong dog lover who has always felt that working with animals was part of your purpose.
Wherever you are beginning, we would love to learn more about you.

WHY PEOPLE JOIN KARMA DOG TRAINING™
Working with dogs can be more than a side job.
It can become a meaningful profession, a flexible source of income, a way to expand an existing pet-care business, or the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
Depending on your experience and interests, opportunities may include:
• Receiving private training cases
• Working with puppies and newly adopted dogs
• Helping families build calmer, happier homes
• Assisting with obedience and behavior cases
• Learning positive reinforcement training methods
• Observing experienced trainers
• Developing professional client communication skills
• Building practical dog-training experience
• Expanding an existing walking, sitting, or boarding business
• Progressing toward independent training opportunities
• Selecting cases that fit your experience, schedule, and location
We believe the right trainer should be matched with the right dog, family, and goals.
You are not expected to accept every case.
ABOUT KARMA DOG TRAINING™

Our philosophy is based on compassion, communication, patience, behavioral science, and relationship-building.
We never use fear, intimidation, physical punishment, or harsh training techniques.
