What 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 went through The Tom Rose School back in 2012 and it been the best decision I've ever made. I learned all the fundamentals and ground work it takes to work with dogs there. Since then I've worked with hunting dogs in Texas, rehabbed rescue dogs and worked with pet dogs in the north east, competed in dog sports all over the US and now I'm working with police and military K9. I can not express how grateful I am for the time i spent and knowledge I gained going through the professional and master program.

I graduated the Professional course and completed all but a couple task in the Masters course. I'm amazed at the amount of information I gained while attending. I'm now working on finding out what task I have to complete to finish my Masters this coming Spring.

school owner didn't report an incident where a student had two dogs die in a car left unattended for two hours. Not the kind of trainer I'll look for. Since this is the only place that I can respond the answer is, YES I would report Starbucks IF like you the manager knew the dogs were left in the car. Doesn't matter if it was after the fact that the poor dogs die, you still knew about wrong doing on your property and failed to report it.

I found Tom Rose and his instructional techniques and methodologies through a close friend of mine, Nate Schoemer. Nate is a graduate from the Tom Rose School and also served as an instructor for some time at the school upon graduation. I found my interest in dog training when I received my service dog which was initially trained by Nate. After completing a handler’s course offered by Nate I fell in love with dog training and I have been studying the art and science of it since then. I have watched Tom’s instructions and I have learned so much from them! His approach to dog training is caring, structured, and based on science. I hope to one day be a graduate from his school, until then I will continue to study his online content.

I graduated from the Tom Rose School in 2007 and it was, by far, the best educational experience of my life.(I also have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science). After graduating, I was able to meld my absolute love for dogs and (most) people into a successful career. Not only did I learn the beginnings of how to train dogs but was given the confidence I had always lacked in going out on my own. It was one of the most challenging 6 months of my 58 years and definitely the most important and rewarding.
