Pups and their people celebrated the dog days of summer at the Zoom Room’s “Endless Summer” bash.

At the Zoom Room Austin our Open Gym and training classes are held in an indoor, air-conditioned setting to help you beat the Texas summer heat!

Competition heated up during the summer agility league, but Maggie held the competition at bay.

We are looking forward to a fun-filled Fall with new classes starting soon! Stop in for an evaluation and recommendations to find the best class for your dog!

Thank you Austin for making the Zoom Room grand opening a huge success! We were also featured on KEYE news and in the Austin Business Journal!

Construction of the Zoom Room Austin is underway. We are looking forward to bringing the Zoom Room to the Austin dog community!

We hope you’ll enjoy this new video we’ve just uploaded, which gives a great overview of what Zoom Room dog training is all about.

One of the great benefits of agility training is an increased bond between dog and owner and the development of deeper communication skills. At the Zoom Room, we every day witness this bonding between dogs of all ages and breeds and owners with no previous dog agility experience. A new research study from Italy – published this year in Behavioural Processes by Sarah Marshall-Pescini et al. – sheds new light on this phenomenon and confirms our own observations.

Your dog loves to lick your face. But does he see your face? A new study examines a dog’s ability at human face recognition.

A new research study has confirmed our observations that trained dogs are more likely to be adopted. Even a moderate amount of basic dog training can increase the chances of adoption.

Jumping is one of the most common behavior problems seen by dog trainers, and it can be an irritating habit to break. While cute – or at least seemingly innocuous when your dog is small – once your 80-pound Labrador leaps upon the house guests while you scream, “Don’t worry! He’s friendly!” things can get quickly out of hand.

Just what is clicker training? Many dogs owners are hearing about this “new” style of positive-reinforcement training, and it’s become the training style of choice for most puppy classes, but few really know what it’s all about.

Bringing home a new dog can be exciting for you, but your resident dog may have a differing view on the new arrival. Just as human babies can disrupt the balance at home and create behavioral issues for younger children dealing with a new sibling, a new puppy or dog can wreck havoc on your home’s serenity. Introducing a new dog into the household appropriately can go a long way toward making sure the transition is a smooth one.
