About Zoom Room

The first Zoom Room opened in 2007, providing group and private training classes with an emphasis on dog agility, as well as a dedicated canine event center for birthday parties and Doggy Disco fundraisers for rescue organizations. The Zoom Room began franchising in 2009. It has since expanded to nine U.S. locations and also maintains its own product line of dog training gear.
