Run, Jump, Beg, Shimmy At Zoom Room Dog Agility Training, every mutt learns a trick or two. And so do their owners.

Maybe you've seen them on TV: Dogs jumping over hurdles, weaving around poles and running through tunnels at lightning speed, all at their owners' commands. And maybe you've looked over at your dog and thought, 'We could never do that."

Jaime and Mark Van Wye beg to differ. At Zoom Room Dog Agility Training, they teach people and dogs of all ages, sizes and backgrounds to blaze through doggy obstacle courses. The idea isn't necessarily to get the dogs into national competitions--though, indeed, some do--but to make obedience training fun instead of a chore.

Jaime, a professional dog trainer, and Mark, a marketing expert, opened their first Zoom Room in 2006 in Culver City, Calif. After just a year, they had more than 500 canine clients. 'It becomes a big part of people's lives," Jaime says. 'We've actually had to invent new classes because people keep asking, 'What's next?'" So far, there are sessions on dog acting, scent tracking, therapy dog training and a four-legged version of pilates, 'pup-lates," for core-strengthening. Of course.
