| - Last year our family adopted a sweet, smart, somewhat shy and anxious rescue dog. I read that agility training can be good for a shy dog and decided to try that with her to see if it would help. She was also not great at walking on a leash, and I wanted to find a class to help with that. I searched online and found good reviews for the Zoom Room, so I decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did.
First I met with Julene for the evaluation and was impressed with how carefully she worked with my dog--and pleased that my at-home teaching let her skip Obedience 1 and go right to Obedience 2. As I looked through the list of classes I realized that I wanted to try a lot of them, and that they fit well with my work schedule. I ended up signing up for a package of unlimited classes for a month.
Over the last few weeks my dog and I have gone to many Agility I, Obedience 2 and Tricks classes, and every one offered a lot of valuable information. It has been wonderful to see her blossom in the classes. At first she was scared to go into the Zoom Room and spent much of class time worrying about everything that was going on around her. Now she walks in happily, trusts the instructors, and is clearly much more relaxed. I've learned a great deal about how to work with her too, so she is better at sit-stay and down-stay, coming when called and walking on a loose leash, as well as working the obstacles in Agility class.
The staff is wonderful. Everyone who works there knows my dog's name and goes out of their way to give her reassurance and care when we come in. When my month of unlimited classes is up, I will be signing up for another set.
