Main Areas of Responsibility:
Paws and Stripes is a nonprofit organization providing animal assisted therapy to military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, military sexual trauma, and traumatic brain injury. It is our vision for every military veteran and their dog to live without isolation. We have an immediate opening for a Team Trainer to join in this rewarding work.
Additional Areas of Responsibility:
Team Trainers utilize dog training skills and case management to assist enrolled veterans in training dogs to be their own service dog or canine companion. Trainers conduct weekly private training sessions, lead group classes, screen potential dogs for the program, attend staff meetings, other program meetings and training events. Trainers also track Veteran/Service Dog Team progress, serve as points of contact for enrolled veterans, complete progress reports, and fulfill other Programs Department duties.
