Good morning:
We recently received a small grant to hire a part-time dog trainer (1-year contract position).
For those of you who have on-staff dog trainers, how did you go about the hiring process?
What guidelines, criteria and questions did you ask?
Experience? Certifications?
Did you do a working interview?
Our shelter is small 501c3 private intake.
We are located along the Gulf Coast Texas and the majority of trainers in our area utilize "balanced training" and more aversive training tools, which we are opposed to.
We utilize only positive training methods at our shelter.
( Please no debates or comments on R+ training vs Balanced training. I know it's a hot topic but it's our choice and we are committed to it. )
Thank you for all of your help & insight!
Ann
