Zoom Room Dog Training

I really enjoy the classes at the Zoomroom. It has helped me in obedience, attention and agility. It has also helped me in several other ways of understanding better communication with my dog Kiya. Staff is really helpful. AJ has been a great teacher!

I have been taking Sydney there since a bought a Groupon around 6 months or so ago. The Groupon had an expiration date which I totally understand. Therefore since it is hard for me to come in multiple times a month, when I bought my 4 pack of classes on my own the only thing I asked was would there be an expiration date. I was assured that there would be no expiration before I purchased them. I have gone back and forth with emails and basically they said sorry for giving you the wrong information. i just wanted to use the 2 remaining classes that I had paid for. I asked for the Manager but no one has responded as far as Management goes.
The training has been fun for Sydney and I but I do not feel comfortable buying more classes from this facility after this poor example of customer service.

Our dog, Lucy has been going to Zoom Room on and off for about two years. She LOVES the agility classes! She also enjoyed the Tricks class with Lisa. The facility is clean and organized and the trainers and desk people are all friendly and helpful. It’s a good vibe!
What I am most happy about now that we are back, is the trainer, AJ. Wow, he is awesome! He has such a calm demeanor and playful attitude combined. Lucy tends to be shy and a bit afraid and he seems to know just how to help her along. He is really caring and very skilled and seems to love what he does. Woof, from Lucy!

Updated review!!! The new owner is awesome. I left the review below not expecting anything to come from it, just sharing my experience. And was immediately messaged from the owner who offered up an amazing deal. The man is classy! Thanks again!!!
Paid for playgroup classes and was told they had them a few times a week. Made plans to take my pup to the Monday class at 12 which is what it says on their schedule. But for the second time in a row the day of I go to sign her up and the class is no longer on the schedule! What kind of business is this? Leaving messages has been pointless as they have NEVER called back. I believe there has been a change in management. What a bummer cuz I loved this place when my dog was younger. Get it together zoom room!!!

I took my doggie here when she started climbing trees at the park. I figured she could use some guided gymnastics (agility) and since she’s an Aussie I expected her to be a little Nadia Comaneci.
She was very good at running the course and she is definitely an attention-​whore and likes to see people clap after she finishes the course, but she also barks and hops the wall and runs the full circuit when it isn’t her turn.
Basically, I now know how those parents feel when their kid freaks out in the toy section at target and they have to drag them out of there kicking and screaming.
Fortunately, zoom room also offers obedience training and they’ve been so patient and nice towards everyone in our class (my dog included) that I’m gonna be doing the full obedience circuit and also I’ll sign up for use of the gym on our own (a nice option for social nightmares) until we get it together and then she can go back to gymnastics.
I think the trainers are all good and equally kind to humans as they are to dogs (I have a vet who definitely prefers dogs-​so this is nice since they’re training both of us) and I love that I can make my appointments with a click on their website as well as through their app.
Love that they sell all of the training kits and treats there, and they have good prices. Because she is a herding/​working breed it is amazing to see how tired she is after only 30 minutes there because she’s having to think, versus how wound up she still is after several hours of hiking where she eventually decides I’m lost and starts trying to nudge me back to the car.

This place is magical. Love the fact I can go when I want to go to take a class, and not adhere to a rigid weekly schedule.
Lisa and AJ are the best. They’re excellent at coaching me to train my pup the right way. And when I mess up or mistime a command, they’re pretty nice about not making me feel like an idiot. They do a good job of creating a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. And they’re very patient.
With their help, my dog will be a national agility champion one day. Okay, I’m dreaming, but stranger things have happened. :-)

A great big thank you to AJ, Rebecca and the Zoom Room Staff for throwing a great Halloween party. Our puppy, Scout, said that it was the BEST TIME OF HER LIFE! She particularly loved the bobbing for hot dogs game. Thanks again for all of your hard work. We really appreciate it.

Sapphire enjoyed her tricks class with AJ tonight, he worked with her on a trick that she was struggling with and she made a break through. she loves Zoomroom and all that they have to offer, her mom enjoys it too.
Just attended the Zoom room Halloween party and AJ and Rebecca did a fantastic job… They are the best and great with people and dogs a great time was had by all.

My dog Maya was a rescue that had not received any training before being adopted. Thanks to the Zoom Room and AJ she is now behaving and is invited to go to friends homes with me. Because of AJ and his loving way of teaching she will drop food she finds in the street the moment she hears the command. Tonight she dropped a piece of chocolate she found on the side walk and that was the moment that I knew that this has been money very well spent.

Tonight will be Collins’ 3^rd Obedience class and its amazing how much she had already learned! She has made huge improvements in such a short time! AJ is awesome and does a great job of understanding each dog and their different needs. Its great to get the special one-​on-​one tips even in a group setting!
Collins (and her humans!) love Zoom Room!

This place was recommended to me by a friend who said they were amazing, but I have been trying to talk with someone for months to no avail. I’ve left voicemail messages and sent emails, and no one has gotten back to me. I have 2 dogs and need to discuss the options with someone before signing up for something and paying, but no dice. I’m sure if you just sign up and give them money they will get back to you no problem, but it’s not that cut and dry for me, and it seems they don’t care to help potential clients figure out what’s right for them.

I am currently taking the Loose Leash Workshop with AJ. After the first class, Bliss was transformed! I think it also helped that AJ recommended the Easy Walk Harness, which has been fantastic. I am so pleased with his results, and my husband is amazed. I had been trying to reduce Bliss’ pulling for a year, and in one day he was walking next to me (mostly) and he is not barking and lunging at people walking, biking and skateboarding by as much at all! Wow! Thank you, AJ!
Bliss has also been in Obedience and Agility, and I am so proud of him! I do miss Meghan and Dave though…

We just signed up for classes here. The staff is very patient and they seem VERY knowledgeable. We can’t wait to see some progress.

So, we’ve now been taking our dogs for about 4 months and WOW, are these really MY dogs!!! Love, love, love my trainers (AJ — you’re amazing) and Lisa and Krista — we’re excited to get to work with you more often :-) …I do miss Kara though.
Tricks class is fun! My dog (and I) have learned how to bow, spin, sit pretty, play dead, ride a skateboard, wave, shake, high five, etc. Not only do you learn the tricks, but they teach you to make up your own. My dog now knows how to lick his lips and find his leash.
I’m also a big fan of Agility. The physical and MENTAL stimulation it gives my dogs has created some of the best dogs in the world (yeah, I’m biased). But seriously, who knew that rescue dogs that were mistreated could be so amazing — well, Zoom Room did :-)

I went to the zooms for private gym time. This was my first time and I enjoyed it. The room is not that big, but big enough to run a few obstacles in a row. A good place to train on specific things. I was pretty disappointed they don’t allow use of teeter totter unless your in a class. I train my dog in agility at another place and this is not really the same thing. More like the «light» version, but still fun. I will go back.

I am the owner of the Corgi named Cooper in the previous reviews you see below,
Let me start off by saying that Cooper has never bitten any dog or puppy and many fellow zoom roomers can attest to that. Cooper has been exposed to different types of temperament dogs, and he is able to adapt to different dogs play styles. Instructors and the owners during classes monitor their dogs very closely, so when play escalates, they step in to mitigate right away.
I didn’t realize this back then, but after coming to zoom room regularly, I have gained knowledge and experience that allow me to be confident when at a dog park. Zoom Room in a sense helps to educate you on how to manage your dog and other dogs during playtime. You are also educating yourself about how your dog likes to play, what his or her motivators are. The Zoom Room instructors create an environment that helps you foster a stronger personal bond with your dog.
The $ 150 Unlimited class package is going to be the best bang for your buck here. If you come for 3 – 4 classes a week it averages to about less than $ 10 a class. I’ve searched the Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys area and it doesn’t get any better than this. They offer obedience, agility and tricks classes throughout the day to better accompany your busy schedule. They staff feels like family, if you become a regular you will quickly become very familiar with Ryan the man behind the scenes, who is always there to address any concerns or issues with scheduling and dog care related questions (seriously one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet).
For those of you who are worried about aggressive dogs hurting your dog, DON’T, both Meghan and Kara have been working with dogs for over 10+ years and are strict with monitoring appropriate interactions among dogs. A trait you will pick up as you go. There are some rescues that don’t play well with other dogs, some dogs that are fearful, some dogs that have separation anxiety. I have met several of these dogs in my past few months here and am amazed at the turnaround these dogs have made with the help of Zoom Room.
If you are looking for a place to help young dogs have fun and socialize and learn basic tricks or if you have an rescue or older dog with issues like fear, aggression or separation anxiety, the Zoom Room offers a way for dogs to overcome their fears of the world and live happier confident lives.
I have been bring Cooper to ZoomRoom since he was (3 & a half) months old to Now (7 & a half) months old. He now knows at the snap of a hat his (sit, down, stay, wait & leave it) commands. He also does great in Agility classes and I am super proud of him and his puppy accomplishments. But I’m most proud of the relationship I’ve built with my dog. Thank you Zoom Room for the knowledge and keeping the experience fun.

My dog and I have had so much fun here. We did Obedience and Agility Classes. The trainers are so great. Really positive. They really tailor the training to your dogs needs/​breed behavior even in a group environment
We will be back for another round of classes!

After having my English Bulldog for a week, my husband and I decided we needed some classes to properly train our puppy so he could become a social, lovable, and well mannered pup. (which he is, the classes absolutely do help)…
The first two months of classes were fantastic. $ 150 a month seemed very well spent, as our boy was learning to socialize, play nicely, sit, stay, touch, lay, and conquer obstacles. The classes seemed a little stagnant at times, but improvement was being made).
We highly recommended this location to all our pups on our block!
Now on to the reason why we left…
My bully grew up really fast, he went from 12 pounds to 30 pounds in a matter of 8 weeks. and had a little fight with a Corgi named Cooper. Cooper actually had bit two puppies before taunting my dog (something that was mentioned to me by an employee during class)…
Even after this behavior, we were the ones asked on three separate occasions to step out of class for recess.
An agreement had been made with the teacher that Cooper would also be asked to step out, «rotated».however he wasn’t. And this really frustrated me. It felt like we were being ostracized.
Now, I am very passive-​aggressive, but when there is a verbal agreement in place, I expect it to be respected, or I will walk away. Which is exactly what I did.
I do not believe that our pup was the one who caused the drama, but I agreed to step out as I know that his size is intimidating, but when everyone is paying $ 150 for the class, I hope that pays for equal treatment.
I still recommend this location to all the puppy owners on my block, however, I do think the classes are more «compatible» with those with smaller breeds.

My and my boyfriend have been bringing out dog sully here for about a month now to the agility classes and we absolute love them! It’s such a great way to get out and do something that tires him out. He even sits and waits by the door when he knows it’s time for his agility class! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have some fun with their dog!

So I discovered this place through a groupon gift and was given the choice between some dog lessons at level one or dog gym time in which my dog could practice all the doggy obstacle course stuff she had learned at a different place. It was great all you have to do is make a reservation online or call up.
Over time we have seen this place as a dog social spot as well as they will through doggy meetups or themed parties for dog and dog owner.
Its nice, parking in back leave a note on your window if you have to block someone in.
