The Tom Rose School L.L.C. Associate Dog Trainers Program prepares students for future employment as dog trainers or for starting their own training business. Experience gained in over thirty years of preparing students to enter the profession of dog training, suggests that some students aren’t going to achieve the Professional Trainer Certificate, yet they achieve enough knowledge and experience to enter the work force and compete in dog shows. For those students, we offer the Associate Trainer Certificate.
This program is a mirror image of the Professional Dog Trainers Program but with less demanding requirements. Both the Professional Dog Trainer students and the Associate Dog Trainer Students begin their programs at the same time, and may participate in all classes.
The Associate Dog Trainers Program is an intensive course focused on hands-on training. The Associate Dog Trainers Program provides students with experience working a wide range of existing dog personalities and training issues. We focus on Skills recognized by employers in the field. Testing is based on Nationally recognized dog contest events including those governed by the American Kennel Club (AKC), Schutzhund (DVG, USA, WDA), National Narcotic Detector Dog Association (NNDDA), United Kennel Club (UKC), and other major national and international kennel clubs.
Our Associate Dog Trainer Certificate is awarded to those students who complete all graduation requirements. The program is 16 weeks long, however some students need more time. Contingent upon approval by TRS faculty, students may be permitted to stay up to an additional 4 weeks in order to complete all requirements for no additional tuition. All requirements must be completed by dogs acquired after starting the program.
