Job Description
Karma Dog Training, founded in 2004, is currently working with families on Maui and is seeking a kind, reliable dog lover who would like to join our team as an independent contractor dog trainer. We use only positive-reinforcement methods and are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping both dogs and their humans build healthy habits in a supportive, encouraging way.
This position offers complete scheduling flexibility. You decide when you want to work. We provide clients throughout Maui, with a primary focus on South and Central Maui, including Kihei, Wailea, Makena, Wailuku, Kahului, and surrounding communities. You do not need to be a certified trainer. What matters most is your temperament, reliability, compassion, and willingness to learn and follow our proven approach.
The work is meaningful, heart-centered, and deeply rewarding. You will help families with early puppy development, basic obedience, leash manners, polite greeting behaviors, recall training, confidence-building, and creating calmer, more balanced behavior in real-world situations. Many families on Maui especially appreciate a calm, respectful teaching style paired with practical guidance they can use immediately.
Applicants with any dog-related experience are encouraged to apply, including daycare, rescue work, fostering, boarding, walking, grooming, vet clinics, or previous training experience. You should be dependable, comfortable working independently, and able to communicate clearly and kindly with clients. A positive-reinforcement mindset and reliable transportation are essential.
Pay typically ranges from $35 to $75 per hour depending on experience, skill level, and the types of programs you take on. Your income will vary based on how many clients you choose to work with and the hours you want to dedicate.
Karma Dog Training is a well-established national company, and we provide support, guidance, and consistent client referrals. Many of our trainers stay with us long term because the work is meaningful, the culture is supportive, and the impact they make is significant.
If you are interested, please reply with your name, the area of Maui you live in, a brief description of your dog-related experience, your availability, and your phone number. We look forward to connecting with you and possibly welcoming you into the Karma Dog Training family.
