We don't train dogs. We train the people who love them. Zoom Room is an indoor dog gym built around one idea: socialization builds confidence. Not just obedience , the kind of real-world calm that lets you take your dog anywhere. Cafes, travel, work, crowds. Small group classes in obedience, agility, puppy training, scent work, tricks, and more. Supervised playgroups. Private gym sessions. Birthday parties. Positive reinforcement only. You're in every class, learning alongside your dog. More like a gym membership than a course , come on your schedule, train at your pace.

We love all the staff at the zoom room - we’ve done classes with all the trainers - Carter, Kayla, Reilly, Nicole, Emily and Jared - and everyone is excellent. They do a great job tailoring the class activities to the needs of each dog. Noticeable improvement in the dogs each time! We love the variety of classes offered. Pup-lates and agility are favorites for our active dog and have helped her with basic obedience and confidence when traditional obedience class was a harder environment for her.

I love the West Des Moines Zoom Room! They have an amazing team of staff. My dogs love Emily and Carter so much! But really all of the staff have been fantastic and all the classes are quality. I love that we can schedule classes when we have time and it doesn’t have to be the same time every week. But yet we never feel like we repeated old stuff or are behind in classes!

Rue, had the pleasure of going to obedience class taught by Rielly at Zoom Room dog training in West Des Moines. Rue and I are learning so much with techniques to be a good team. We love this place and Rielly!

I’ve searched for months for some training for my stubborn Chocolate Lab and adopted puppy with bad habits. Found Zoom Room and went in and talked to Andrea who explained in great detail what they do and I was immediately interested. Many different options at a reasonable price. Signed up for 10 sessions and after the first puppy training class with Jared I decided to bring Turk to have him evaluated. It was a thorough evaluation and Jared knew my dog as well as I did. We’ll be attending an obedience class and will eventually move on to Agility.
So happy with how this training started I upped my package to 20 classes. They are so friendly and knowledgeable I’m excited to get this going. Also commend Rielly who goes out of her way to accommodate us while we’re there and whenever I call and need something. Always has a smile for us
I’ll update later but for now I’m very happy and so are my dogs. Thanks Zoom Room
Update:
In 3rd month and both dogs are doing great. I have Jules in the Scent class and Obedience 2 and Turk is in Agility 2 and Obedience 2. Had a private lesson with Kayla to get Jules focused on agility and at the end she suggested I put her in Scent class which is what she does during agility. She loves it and is great at it. Thanks Kayla. Had trainer Emily tonight with Jules in Obedience 2 and Emily is awesome. She doesn’t treat each dog the same which is great because they are all in different stages of the class that they’re in. I’m learning a lot from her about training my different dogs in different ways. What works for one doesn’t necessarily work for the other one. I can’t wait each day to work on different skills for my dogs. Love this place and so do Turk and Jules. Your money will be spent wisely here. Check them out you won’t be sorry. 🐕🐕
Update 5/1/25
What are you waiting for? Go see Jared Andrea or Emily and get an evaluation on your dog. I’m in my 8th month and both dogs have passed their CGC Canine Good Citizen test and Turk has added it to his AKC title. Turk also finished his Therapy Dog prep course (8 weeks) of 8 classes and now Jules started her training yesterday and was incredible in it. My goal is to have them become therapy dogs and work with several groups. I couldn’t have thought this was possible 8 months ago but now the skies the limit. There isn’t an issue they can’t resolve or if you’re looking for obedience or something like constant barking, getting them house broken or any of the dozens of advanced skills they have you covered.
Many different options of training plans to suit your budget and the schedule is as flexible, well more flexible than any I’ve ever seen. Take my advice and you can thank me when you see in class. Your dog deserves it
Update Lab has passed his Therapy Test and now a certified Therapy Dog
He is CGC certified and recently passed his CGC Urban and Advanced tests.
Went in today to get him some energy release in the Pup Lattes class (strength and balance training and was the only one signed up on a slow Saturday afternoon. Basically got a private lesson from Nicole Miller and she gave me so many tips on how to help with his excessive energy.
Also preparing my little rescue for the same certification as my Lab. She is only 19 months and will probably be certified before she is 2. Incredible trainers that care so much about you and your dogs.
Get down there and check them out.
Update 11/11/25
Been here a year and I never want to leave
They are simply the best. Ask for Emily the Best of the Best and tell her Turk and Jules sent ya.
Update 3/31/26
I’m working with Emily and my foster dogs. Getting them trained before they’re adopted. On our 5th foster and 4 in homes because of all the work they’ve done with them. They are the best of the best.

Emily is the sweetest and absolute best! She's knowledgeable and has such a good connection with the pups and people. I couldn't rave about her more, I'm so excited to have my pup be trained by her after seeing her great work. You're in the best hands with her 💗 we love the zoom room and would highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have a safe place for their pup to learn, explore, and play 😊
