First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Suburban K9.
Trainer
The whole process took about a month, which felt like a total waste of time. They kept asking the exact same questions in every interview. The final round was really long, like 5 hours. I was really made to feel like I was gonna get the job, and then just got an automated rejection email. When I asked for some feedback to help me out in the future, they said they couldn't give me any. It was pretty disrespectful considering they wasted a month of my time. I was definitely overqualified for this role too.
- If you were a dog, which breed would you be?
Dog Trainer Apprentice
It's a month-long process with 3 interviews. First, a phone call, then a video call with 3-4 people, and finally an in-person interview, also with 3-4 people. They ask the same questions in each of the last two interviews. After the second interview, you'll do a background check, take a personality quiz (MBTI), and give them at least 3 references. The third interview is super long, like several hours. You'll do a fake go-home session with a trainer, have to guide someone blindfolded to copy a setup you make with cups, string, and napkins, do a roleplay (which I didn't get to do), and then have a formal interview.
- What makes you a good fit for this role?
- What type of residence do you live in?
- Can you tell me about a key strength you possess?
Dog Trainer
This interview process is long, taking months. It starts with HR, then a phone call. After that, there's a video interview with several people. Then, an in-person interview that lasts 5 hours and requires taking time off work. They repeat questions frequently. When I asked questions, the answers felt indirect. The in-person part includes working with a dog and a 'skill building activity' where one person is blindfolded, and you guide them to copy a floor pattern. It's an odd experience. Ultimately, it ends with a rejection email.
- What's your stress management like?
- How do you maintain a good work-life balance?
Trainer
Because you'll be going to clients' houses and have dogs at your own place, the process is pretty in-depth. You and your home need to be top-notch so people feel comfy leaving their pets with you.
- Can you tell me about your dog training experience?
