This is not a traditional hourly or salaried job. This is an apprenticeship-to-ownership opportunity for a qualified person who wants to train directly with the current owner and potentially acquire an established Denver-area dog behavior training business.
Are you a dog trainer, animal-care professional, vet tech, groomer, rescue/shelter worker, boarding/daycare employee, or serious dog enthusiast who wants to own a real dog training business?
This is an immediate opportunity to train directly with the current owner of an established Denver-area dog behavior training business and transition into ownership. Potential first-year owner-operator income may be approximately $70,000–$80,000+ after estimated seller-financing payments.
The current owner operates the business on an estimated 20-hour-per-week basis. The business currently generates approximately $10,000 per month in gross revenue and approximately $100,000 per year in profit, according to Seller.
The owner is motivated to find the right successor and is willing to provide hands-on training, transition support, and seller financing to a qualified buyer.
This opportunity may be a strong fit for someone with a background such as:
Do you love working with dogs?
Are you confident, teachable, good with people, and interested in turning dog training into a real business ownership opportunity?
This opportunity may be a strong fit for someone with a background such as:
Dog trainer
Dog walker
Veterinary technician or veterinary staff
Groomer
Boarding/daycare employee or owner
Rescue/shelter volunteer or worker
Animal-care professional
Pet-services operator
Serious dog enthusiast with strong people skills
Professional dog training experience is helpful, but the current owner believes the right person can be trained. More important qualities include confidence, reliability, communication skills, patience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to work with both dogs and their owners.
The business is simple and low overhead:
No lease
No employees
No inventory
Established online inquiry flow
Customers pay upfront
Written customer contracts
Training and transition included
Seller financing available to qualified buyer
The right person will be trained on:
How to speak with prospective customers
How to evaluate dogs and owners
How to present the training program
How to conduct training sessions
How to manage scheduling
How to handle customer expectations
How to operate the business
This is best suited for someone who wants to own and operate a business, not simply collect a paycheck. A qualified candidate will need to have some financial ability for a down payment and must be acceptable to the Seller for financing and transition.
For the right person, this could be a rare opportunity to step into an established dog behavior training business, receive direct training from the current owner, and build a meaningful career working with dogs and their owners.
