My spazzamatic mutt has been a handful since she became my dog several years ago. I've met with various trainers over the years and read as much as possible about dog training but have never really been able to teach her how she needs to behave in certain situations. It's been frustrating for both of us and even the other dog in the house, Angel Dog, would roll her eyes at Spazz's antics.
I don't recall how I found Zoom Room but when checking them out on Yelp I saw they had a Yelp deal and decided to give them a shot. I enrolled in the leash walking class. Honestly, for a 3 session class my hopes weren't that high. I was wrong.
Julene has been our teacher for the leash walking class. She is patient and has a knack for explaining what to do so I understand. They use only positive reinforcement methods and make it fun for both the dogs and owners. You of course need to practice at home but I'm amazed at how quickly I have seen improvement. I really feel much more in control and Ms. Spazz seems more relaxed and happy. I've even tried a few of the methods with Angel Dog and it's improving her behavior also. I couldn't be happier I decided to check Zoom Room out. We'll definitely be signing up for another class.
The only negative is their location. Coming from the uptown area it's horrible to try to make at 6:30 on a workday. However, it's clearly a plus for many people if you live in that area. And, if I'm willing to drive from Plaza-Midwood out to this area, it's only for something really good!
