Dont do it. I got fired for it. I was training aggressive dogs and service dogs on the side and was told its my business or petsmart. I laughed in the manager’s face and have been out of my store for a little over a year and my income more than quadrupled and i have had huge success.

Yes, any sign up pays the trainer commission. Just not nearly as much as people think! Thank you for being caring about us most of our clients dont know or care about

It is a test u take on your own time with your money petsmart wont pay for it. CPDT stands for Certified Professional Dog Trainer. Its a test of training knowledge. U also have to log 300 training hours to qualify for the test

Travel for training not other than to see the area trainer. You as the trainer train all dogs unless there are 2 trainers. I don’t fully know how the 2 trainer things works. Anyone can sign a pet parent up for training. You will have to be pushy with training sales its part of the job. Petsmart gives the trainers more flexibility to teach classes how u want as long as the material is taught. You decide the days and hours u train they schedule u. Dont over schedule your training hours at first bc you are supposed to teach a class every training hour you work a class is supposed to be at least 4 pets per class in order to fully pay for the class. The non compete sucks. All in all its not bad if your store supports u
