Our goal is to fill the world with happy, tired dogs enjoying an exceptional quality of life as loving companions.

About the Zoom Room

The Zoom Room, founded by top dog trainer Jaime Van Wye, opened its doors in 2007 to provide urban dogs with a dedicated indoor space to TRAIN, SOCIALIZE and SHOP.

We offer dog training classes both in small groups and private one-on-one sessions using only positive reinforcement dog training, the single most-effective and scientifically-based method for training dogs. If you’re interested in training, we recommend that you begin with our Overview page to learn how we roll.

Because we know there’s a human on the other end of that leash, we also provide all the comforts of a cool hangout: free direct trade coffee from Intelligentsia, cool tunes, and free WiFi. The Zoom Room is a great place for both you and your dog to socialize. Fundraising events for rescue organizations, birthday parties, Doggy Disco – we’re the perfect place for you and your pup to learn AND play!

We have a full indoor dog agility course for you and your dog to navigate either in our agility classes, weekly Agility League, or anytime you like during Private Gym when you can have the joint to yourself as the ideal, safe and sane alternative to the dog park.

We also stock the latest in eco-friendly solution-oriented training products, including all-natural treats, premium dog food, collars, leashes, the best dog toys on the planet, and a wide range of other great gear for your dog.

The Zoom Room is a nationwide franchise – the only brick-and-mortar dog training franchise in the U.S. We’re opening new locations all the time, so to find the Zoom Room nearest you, please check back regularly under LOCATIONS in the menu.

The Zoom Room is the only brick-and-mortar dog training franchise in the U.S. and the world’s first dog agility franchise. We’re dog business experts and have designed the Zoom Room to be like no other pet franchise on the market.

We are now also the fastest-growing pet franchise in the U.S. The pet services industry is booming; in the September 2011 issue of Pet Age Magazine, experts actually credit the Zoom Room as one of the chief bellwethers for the enormous increase in this sector. Over $1.3 billion was spent on dog training in 2010, with a projected annual growth rate of 6.7%. The article attributes this growth to “standalone franchise operations like Zoom Room… rather than smaller, local companies.”
