OBEDIENCE TRAINING

Obedience 1
Obedience classes at the Zoom Room are designed to get you and your dog working on practical, effective behaviors immediately. You will learn all the basics for getting – and keeping – your dog’s attention, even in distracting environments. Our classes emphasize fun and positive motivation, not only for your dog, but for you as well! We incorporate games and challenges to help make obedience less of a chore and way more fun.

Obedience 2
Advanced obedience skills including extra control around distractions and beginning off-leash work. This class prepares your dog to take the Canine Good Citizen test.

Therapy Dog
You’ve got the basics down. Now learn how to prepare for the Pet Partners temperament test for therapy dogs. This group class is designed to help you and your dog fine-tune your basic obedience skills by focusing special attention on good manners, control around distractions, introduction to hospital equipment, and therapy dog tricks.

Shy Dog
Is your dog a wallflower? If your dog is nervous meeting new people or new dogs, we’ll show how to help your dog overcome his fear and anxiety in a controlled environment. Perfect for rescue dogs.

Calm Down

Designed for the dog with basic obedience training but no agility experience, you and your dog will learn the basics of obstacle management, development of control and confidence.

This intermediate agility training series will help your dog develop more control and fluidity and begin to learn agility coursework and footwork. We’ll also troubleshoot some of the more pesky agility obstacles to develop speed.

Agility 3
Advanced agility training emphasizes footwork and off-leash control to get you ready for agility competition. In this class, agility coursework and precision are emphasized.

Agility 4
Advanced handling and coursework encompassing all obstacles. Speed, attention to detail, and smooth progression through transitions will be emphasized.

Agility League

You can sign up for Agility League on the EVENTS tab.

PUPPY TRAINING

Puppy Preschool
Someday they’ll grow up. Just not yet. In the meantime, you’ll learn how to address housebreaking, nipping, chewing, and jumping problems, all while commiserating with other hapless puppy owners. Includes an introduction to basic obedience, as well as socialization and group play time for the little ones.

Puppy Agility
A special class for puppies ages two to eight months, designed to be easy on growing joints and bones. This class emphasizes confidence-building for your puppy, and builds upon the foundation of great communication learned in Puppy Preschool, while also whetting his appetite for Agility.

Puppy Obedience
Get your puppy off to the right start with our puppy manners class. We introduce and focus on getting your pup’s attention, sit, down, stay, and polite greetings. We tackle common problem puppy behaviors like jumping, nipping, and mouthing, as well as begin teaching loose-leash walking and coming when called. Our puppy obedience class focuses on age-appropriate behaviors in a fun, relaxed environment, designed to introduce your puppy to basic skills that will set the foundation for later learning. We focus on a set of core skills that every puppy needs to be a happier, more well-behaved dog.

ENRICHMENT CLASSES

Tricks 1
Every dog needs a few tricks, and some dogs need even more! This class covers the classic tricks like roll over, play dead, and sit up, but also covers more advanced behaviors. This class is great for teaching focus around other dogs.

Tricks 2
In this class you’ll learn how to string together basic behaviors that you learned in Tricks 1 to really impress your friends. A great class for the busy dog or the future therapy dog. Your dog will learn how to skateboard, put away his toys, play basketball and more!

Scent Discrimination
You and your dog will learn fun scent games that you can play to engage your dog AND burn off some energy! We’ll teach your dog how to sniff out objects hidden around the house, like your cell phone. Perfect for dogs that are high-energy or home alone all day, we’ll get your dog thinking and using his sniffer.

Urban Herding
Urban Herding (also known as Treibball) is the newest sport for the Zoom Room – think of it as herding without the sheep. Instead, dogs herd large exercise balls into a goal, using their noses to push the balls in the right direction. Any dog can do it and it’s tons of fun! It also develops an incredible bond between you and your dog and develops off-leash obedience and self-control. We’ll teach the basics of urban herding including distance control commands to get you started in this fabulous new dog sport.

Canine Cross-Training®
Going for a jog with your dog is a walk in the park compared to the workout we have in store for you and your dog. While your dog races and jumps, you will work in tandem in a wide array of physical fitness games, combining aerobic, anaerobic and plyometric exercises. Be prepared to sweat… a lot!

Senior Stretch & Agility
Using equipment you’d find in a human gym, your dog will learn core control and develop athleticism, balance, and strength. Perfect for dogs recovering from injuries, senior dogs, or those dogs that could stand to lose a few pounds.

Hollywood Dog
Teach your dog to be a star! This class teaches advanced set work with an emphasis on distance control and hand signals. At the end of class, we will help your dog develop his or her portfolio, with photographs and a YouTube video. Your dog might be the next great Internet sensation!
