Tom Rose School was an intense but through program that helped shape and broaden my experiences as professional dog trainer. Not for everyone, but if your looking for a rounded training experience, positive/balanced/compulsive(optional) you will learn a little of everything.

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Does the school provide a dog for you to use in the class and if they do, do you get to keep it?
You have to acquire two dogs, they do work with a program for Veterans for service dogs that they can provide you with a dog but if you get provided a veteran dog you have to give it back at the end of graduation.

I attended the Tom Rose School in July of 2014, and graduated in November of that year. The experience was unforgettable and inspiring. I don’t think I will ever experience the same at another school. The program was well in-depth and had education on how to use +R only methods and balanced training - something that is essential to understand in this industry. We learned how to raise/train pets, sport, and working dogs. My love for IGP and other sports started here at the school. Since attending, I have trialed in IGP and AKC events often taking first place. The Tom Rose School also helped give me the confidence to serve pet clients and start a successful business. I have learned several important habits and techniques that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I will be forever thankful for the knowledge I have attained for the excellent staff members. The instructors were big on ethical treatment to the animals involved in instruction. Many of the bad reviews you may see on other websites are not the school’s fault just the individual’s poor choice. I was never instructed to do a technique that I found unethical to a dog during my time at the school. One important aspect that was stressed at the school was learning does not end there, the journey of a dog trainer is limitless and this program gives you a great start an foundation .
This schools sets the foundation for many dog training businesses worldwide. The education and training experience learned here is unmatched.

I attended the prestigious Tom Rose School Of Dog Trainers in January 2017, This was the best choice for me, although I was nervous, the school pulled the better person and once I could get past my stubbornness, They turned me into a great trainer, showing me how much food and toys are the best motivators for dogs, If you are looking to become a Dog Trainer, look no further this is the place to be!
I really enjoyed attending Tom Rose Training school! Tony
