Location: In Person, Boise, ID

Do you love dogs? Have a passion for people and dogs?

If so, Zoom Room - Boise wants YOU to join our energetic, fun-loving, dog-obsessed team!

We’re more than a dog training center — we’re a canine social club and community hub. Our group classes are upbeat, exciting, and packed with purpose — and we’re looking for dynamic dog training sales associates to lead the pack!

Our motto is “We don’t train dogs. We train the people who love them.” That's why our approach focuses on clear compassionate communication with people of all ages and backgrounds, whether in group classes or private sessions.

What You’ll Do:

• Evaluate incoming dogs and recommend appropriate type of training (private vs. group, beginner vs. advanced)

• Supervise social events and playgroups
• Promote and sell appropriate retail items and class packages during and after classes
• Conduct high-energy orientations with prospective clients, educate them on our programs, and close sales by enrolling them in the best-fit membership plan.
• Maximize your earning potential by making lead follow-up calls (don’t worry — no cold calling, just connecting with clients who want to hear from us as a way to increase your earning potential)

• Assist with day-to-day operations of the facility, including but not limited to stocking shelves, cleaning the gym, answering the phone and other client inquiries, and monitoring the front desk while providing superior customer service
• Keep the energy up and the tails wagging — every single shift!

• Available evenings & weekends

You’ll Need:

• Experience training your own dog(s) or professionally, using force -free positive reinforcement training methods.
• A genuine love for dogs and a commitment to positive reinforcement training
• Confidence speaking with people — you’re comfortable guiding conversations and leading groups
• A natural ability to match clients with the right membership or product to drive sales
• Reliable, upbeat energy — you help create a positive, supportive atmosphere
