We had a very hard time taking our new best friend out on walks around the neighborhood. We went through two other trainers before we found Bar and just couldn't get the help we needed. Then we found bar and working with him has genuinely been the best decision we made as new dog owners. We did Bar's board and train program. After that month, Benny came home with so much improvement and skills. His engagement with us and responsiveness to us was night and day, making all things easier for us and Benny. Bar is very patient and compassionate with both dogs and people. The one thing that really sold it to us was just how much Benny loves working with Bar. Benny is always excited to see him again for training sessions and boarding when we are out of town. We recommend Bar to anyone that needs help with their K9 family members.

He's communicative and provides guidance to the owners as well to be successful on reinforcing the training as well! Thank you Bar!

Unfortunately, the current Zoom Room ownership is atrocious and I would strongly suggest finding…read moreanother place to train your dog. I had been going to Zoom Room for over 2 years and had experienced some different trainers, some of whom were good, some bad. Finally, there was some consistency with an excellent trainer, Cari, and so I purchased an annual membership. Over the past year I had worked with Cari, who was fantastic. She had an amazing talent for knowing what you and your dog could handle and needed and she prioritized safety and the overall experience. Unfortunately, Cari left recently, and I have to imagine the owner had something to do with it, as clearly this location is horrendously mismanaged. There was a period of time where there were no classes available, and we were never told why. Then randomly they announced "new management" and brought in a trainer who had been shadowing Cari for just a few weeks as the new Manager and solo trainer. I had briefly worked with this trainer and I was not very impressed with his training skills. I did not feel like I would be making progress with my dog any more at this location, so I contacted the owner Diego asking for a partial refund. He talked disrespectfully about his previous employees, ranted about me not giving people a try, and raised his voice, berating me about "what if you signed up for a membership at a yoga studio and your favorite instructor left" among other things. During this rant he also shared that the trainers they get are untrained and uncertified and they go through some basic training before coming on board which does NOT inspire confidence in the future of this location. I have NEVER been spoken to in such a disrespectful, aggressive way as a customer. This franchise is clearly not well run. While they might find gems of trainers like Cari from time to time, you might also get stuck with untrained people.. or possibly even NO instructors. As another review mentions, consistency in trainer is absolutely critical to progress with your dog, and while I understand there is some employee turnover expected over time, this location has experienced too much turnover to be acceptable. I truly did love my experience with Zoom Room while Cari was there but now I highly recommend you save your money. It's not worth spending that much money to potentially have to keep working with different, random, possibly untrained employees and be talked down to by the franchise owner who really needs to hone his business and customer service skills.

I chose Zoom Room because they advertise a sanitized environment suitable for puppies who aren't…read morefully vaccinated. Before enrolling, I asked if I could attend one session to see if it was a good fit, especially since I was concerned my puppy might experience car sickness. I was told I had to purchase a package. Although it was $499, I enrolled because I'm committed to training my dog as early as possible. On our first day, we were informed that because only three puppies were present, the full 50-minute session (which I had already paid for) could not be conducted due to "corporate rules," and class was reduced to 30 minutes. That was disappointing, but I chose to give it a chance. Unfortunately, my puppy did get car sick on the drive despite not eating beforehand. After the 40-mile round trip, it became clear she cannot tolerate the commute. Given that reality, I contacted Zoom Room a few days later to withdraw and request a refund. I was again told "corporate rules" prohibit refunds. The suggestion was to suspend my account and resume later if my puppy outgrows the car sickness. However, I need training now, while she is young and manageable -- not months from now when she's much larger. This wasn't a case of changing my mind or being dissatisfied with the trainer or facility. It was simply an inability to physically use the service. I was disappointed that there was no flexibility for extenuating circumstances. If you're considering enrolling, I strongly recommend reading the refund policy carefully before committing.

I can't say enough good things about Jennifer and her 3-week training program! Our border collie…read moreMaverick had an issue with pulling on walks, and thanks to Jennifer, he now walks perfectly in heel--it's like night and day. She also worked on his place command, and now he stays calmly on his bed until released, which has made having guests over so much easier. One of the things that really stood out was how Jennifer took the time to get to know us as well as our dog. She found out we have a horse background and used that to our advantage--explaining training techniques in ways that made total sense to us. She gave examples that tied into the horse world, which made the process so much more intuitive and familiar. She also helped address Maverick's excitement around other dogs, which stems from his strong herding instincts. With Jennifer's guidance, he's now calm and focused on us. Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about setting both the dog and owner up for long-term success. We're so thankful for the transformation she helped us achieve with Maverick!

We worked with Charlie and Hudson when she was first a puppy and learned a lot of basics, we returned to help create a system where our dog has an expectation of what happens when people come over, so she doesn't have to feel so anxious all the time. K9 University helps train us for our dog, and honestly helped me understand her so much better. We are leaving for an extended period of time and I was so nervous about what to do with our dog, but then I found out that K9 University ALSO does board and train! This eased my mind so so much. I couldn't think of anyone better or more skilled to watch and train our dog while we are away. I can't wait to see her updates and just know that she will be mentally and physically occupied in a productive manner! We love k9 University!!!!
