Now Hiring

General Manager / Lead Trainer / Future Growth Partner

Exceptional Canines is growing, and we are looking for the right person to help lead the next chapter.

This is not a “show up, clock in, pet a Labrador, and call it leadership” kind of role. This is for someone who believes in dogs, people, systems, growth, service, and building something that actually matters.

The Opportunity

What We’re Really Looking For

We are looking for a high-character, high-output human who can help lead training, support clients, build relationships, strengthen systems, and contribute to the marketing side of a growing dog-training company.

You do not need to be perfect. But you do need to be driven, coachable, emotionally intelligent, professional, and able to think beyond “I like dogs” as your entire business strategy.

Why This Role Matters

This Is Bigger Than Dog Training

We help dogs and humans create calmer, safer, happier lives together. That means leadership matters. Systems matter. Communication matters. Marketing matters. Integrity matters.

The Bigger Opportunity

This Isn’t Just a Job. It Could Become a Legacy.

Four years ago, I opened Exceptional Canines here in Phoenix knowing almost no one.

No big network. No built-in audience. No magic list of clients waiting at the door. Just experience, belief, a willingness to work, and a deep conviction that dogs and their humans deserved something better.

Since then, this has become much more than one person training dogs. The relationships have been built. The systems have been built. The website has been built. The training materials, learning centers, structure, client trust, veterinary relationships, past clients, current clients, and future opportunities are all there.

Quite honestly, the website and training infrastructure alone represent an enormous amount of work and value. This is not just a logo and a leash. This is years of hands-on experience, tested systems, educational content, and real-world trust that somebody else would have the chance to step into and help grow.

I am probably good for another ten years of doing this work well, maybe more, but I am also realistic enough to know that the next five years matter. It is time to think bigger than just me.

For the right person, this could become far more than employment. It could become leadership. Territory. Ownership. Profit sharing. Legacy. A chance to continue building something meaningful for dogs, for families, and for the future of this business.

So if you love dogs, respect the people attached to them, believe in growth, and want to become part of something that already has real roots, real value, and real momentum, this may be the opportunity you have been waiting for.
