Zoom Room Dog Training

I like how we took turns with the dogs on the agility gym. I did not get any direction as what was going to happen before the class started. Being my first time, I felt I was being scolded for some things I did not know. I will try again next class but felt a little uncomfortable with the staff. It got better towards the end. Since that first night, Sadiehas learned a lot and loves her agility classes!

TLDR; If you have a high energy dog, a super smart dog, a dog who needs socialization, a dog who needs stimulation....this is the place to go for training. The unlimited plans are the best value for your money since you can try all the classes and go as often as your dog needs. A little background: We adopted Ronald in the spring. He had lived in a shelter his entire 2 years of life and we knew he was going to need training. When we got him he had problems with barking, mouthing, jumping, grabbing treats aggressively...basically he had no manners. We knew he needed training but it turns out we needed as much training as he did. (No hate to our local shelters they did great with him while he was there- he was well cared for and loved until he came home to us! He's just a high energy dog who needs a lot.) When we started training at Zoom Room we were overwhelmed to say the least. While all the other dogs did the tricks or commands immediately we were repeating ourselves and fighting with Ronald to obey. Sometimes we left class early because it was too much for both of us. We were frustrated, defeated and really wondering if we had made a mistake adopting him. From the beginning the Zoom Room trainers were patient, supportive and encouraging. They learned about his needs, behaviors and triggers along with us and have helped us manage each new thing one at a time. They always celebrate his wins no matter how small and have been great at reminding us how far he's come when we're getting discouraged. We've been going for about 6 months a few times a week and the pictures I attached are from our most recent class. He absolutely loves class and is excited whenever he realizes where we are going and after class he naps (which is such a blessing!). He has learned to take treats gently, he has learned about 20 tricks, he can do the agility courses mostly on his own and has graduated to advanced obedience. He absolutely loves all the trainers and so do we. Most importantly though, WE have learned so much from our Zoom Room classes! We have learned how to understand him, his boundaries and how to help him be the best dog he can be. We have learned to advocate for him. We have gained confidence in our ability to train him because we have learned to be clear in our requests. Like I said in the tldr- if you have a dog who needs training, this is the place to come. For the quality of the trainers and for the value you get in having unlimited classes.
