About Royvon

At Royvon Dog Training & Hotels, we specialise in helping dogs and their owners overcome behavioural challenges through modern, welfare-focused, force free only training methods.

Our Merthyr Tydfil site provides residential training, behaviour modification programmes, daycare, boarding, and private training services. We work with a wide range of dogs, including those experiencing reactivity, anxiety, fear-based behaviours, and other behavioural concerns.

We are looking for an experienced and passionate Behaviour Dog Trainer to join our team on a 12-month maternity cover contract.

This is a hands-on role that combines behaviour training with supporting the wider care team when required, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both training and practical dog care.

About the Role

As a Behaviour Dog Trainer, you will work directly with dogs enrolled on residential training and behaviour programmes, implementing training plans and supporting their progress throughout their stay.

In addition to residential training, you will deliver 1:1 training and behaviour sessions with owners and their dogs, helping clients develop the skills and confidence needed to continue their dog's progress at home.

You will be responsible for delivering training sessions, monitoring behavioural development, communicating with clients, and ensuring the highest standards of welfare and care.

As part of a collaborative team, you will also support general dog care duties when required, including feeding, cleaning, enrichment activities, and maintaining safe kennel environments.

Key Responsibilities

Deliver behaviour-focused training sessions for dogs on residential training programmes.
Deliver 1:1 training and behaviour sessions with clients and their dogs.
Coach owners on training techniques, management strategies, and behaviour modification plans.
Provide clear guidance and ongoing support to help owners achieve their training goals.
Conduct client handovers and follow-up sessions where required.
Work with dogs displaying behavioural challenges such as reactivity, anxiety, fear-related behaviours, and confidence issues.
Implement training plans developed in line with Royvon's training philosophy and welfare standards.
Monitor progress and maintain accurate training records.
Provide updates and feedback to clients regarding their dog's development.
Support boarding, daycare, and residential training dogs with enrichment and welfare activities.
Assist with feeding, kennel cleaning, and general husbandry duties when required.
Observe dog behaviour and report any welfare or health concerns.
Maintain a safe and professional working environment at all times.

What We're Looking For:

Essential

Previous professional dog training experience.
Strong understanding of canine behaviour and behaviour modification techniques.
Confidence handling dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments.
Excellent observation, communication, and customer service skills.
Ability to explain training concepts clearly and confidently to clients.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
A positive, proactive attitude and commitment to high welfare standards.

Desirable

Experience working with reactive, anxious, fearful, or behaviourally complex dogs.
Relevant qualifications in dog training, behaviour, or animal care.
Experience delivering owner coaching or client consultations.
Previous experience within boarding kennels, daycare, residential training, or similar environments.

Why Join Royvon?

Work with a wide variety of dogs and behavioural cases.
Be part of an experienced and supportive team.
Opportunity to develop your practical behaviour and training skills.
Employee discounts.
On-site parking.
Staff development opportunities.

Pay: From £13.00 per hour

Benefits:

Employee discount
Free parking
On-site parking
