A Program That's Right for You.
As a student of the Tom Rose School, you receive the most comprehensive dog-training education in the world. As a graduate you are in high demand domestically and internationally with prospective employers. If you choose to open your own business, you now have the skills and tools that put you above the competition.
Through lectures, demonstrations, and extensive supervised hands-on training, you learn a variety of dog training theories and techniques, and how to apply them. Our programs challenge you to develop unique training methods and problem-solving techniques, and you gain experience working with a wide range of dog personalities and temperaments.
Students do not graduate simply because they attend the school. Students and their dogs must pass all requirements and demonstrate their ability to train in order to graduate. We base our Graduation requirements on nationally recognized tests. We score these tests on the same 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 recognize the value of TRS graduates for their company.
