Ep. 7 - Tom Rose on Imprinting, Competition, and the Art of Dog Training

In this Episode, I sit down with legendary dog trainer Tom Rose, a pioneer in modern dog training and founder of The Tom Rose School.

Tom’s accomplishments in the dog world are unmatched. He’s won countless competitions with dogs he personally raised and trained, became the first American to score a perfect on an FH track, and developed the now-famous Puppy Imprinting Program — even coining the term “imprinting” as it applies to dogs.

Tom was also the first to import the Belgian Malinois into the United States and has authored three major dog training books. His school has produced some of the most successful professional trainers in the world, thanks to its rigorous, results-driven curriculum.

In this episode, we talk about:

• 🐾 The origins of puppy imprinting and its impact

• 🧠 What it takes to build elite-level obedience and protection dogs

• 🏆 The mindset behind championship-level competition

• 🛠️ Why so many of today’s best trainers come from The Tom Rose School

Whether you're considering a career in dog training or simply want to understand what sets elite trainers apart, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
