Welcome to your future as a world class dog trainer! As a student of the Tom Rose School, you will receive the most comprehensive education in dog training in the world. As a graduate you will be in high demand around the country and the world with prospective employers. 

Through lectures, demonstrations, and extensive supervised hands-on training, you will learn a variety of dog training theories/techniques and how to apply them. Our programs challenge you to develop unique training methods and problem solving techniques and you will gain experience working with a wide range of dog personalities and temperaments. 

The Tom Rose Staff truly cares about the success of their students. Students do not graduate simply because they attend the school. The students and their dogs must pass all requirements and demonstrate their ability to train in order to graduate. 

Graduation requirements are based on nationally recognized tests. These tests are based on the exact rules of performance generated by AKC, UKC, DVG, NNDDA (National Narcotic Detector Dog Association), and other national and international kennel clubs. Employers in the dog care and training industry recognize our high standards and know how valuable a Tom Rose School graduate will be for their company.
