I had my first group training session at Zoom room this week. I was impressed with how they manage the classes, accommodating dogs with different needs, and humans with different skill sets! Georgie made everybody comfortable and able to get the most out of the class. I left the class feeling like all of us had a "win" that day. My dog is about three years old and a recent adoption. She did great and I think it was the format they provided. I'm looking forward to our next session. Ultimately, I'd like to get my dog into their agility classes, but for now we have to get through the basics. I'm a new fan of Zoom Room. read more

Such a nice spot to take classes or even just rent out the gym to let my pup run around in a safe enclosed area. They also have agility equipment so she's been having fun and enjoying learning. Highly recommend! I wish they had another location in the city as I commute all the from SF for it. That's how good it is. read more

We took our puppy, Daisy, to the Zoom Room for puppy preschool when she was three months old. Every time we came back, we were amazed by how much Daisy managed to learn so fast. I liked how they made the dogs play first to help them get comfortable with each other before the actual training, and all the dogs got along really well. Daisy had a great time, and now that she's graduated puppy preschool, we can't wait to move on to puppy training. read more

we've done 3 classes so far and are very impressed. We'd previously done PetSmart classes, which were good, but these are more structured and focuses on more specific behaviors to learn (settle, wait, stay, watch me) as well as working on learning these things without needing treats. Kozmo enjoys his time there and he seems to be making a lot of progress quickly. He can't wait for his next session! read more

We love Zoom Room! I started with my first puppy when she was just 11 weeks old and they set us up for success. My dog learned the basic foundations of training and so did i! Now i am bringing in my second puppy for the basics, and noticing how much i already know, thanks to the expert teaching at zoom room. read more

Very disappointing. I had high hopes for zoom room training for my puppy. I was disappointed at every turn. When I visited their store, I was told by the employees that their brochure was "uninformative." The woman who conducted my "orientation" phone call was brusque and rude. She obviously just wanted to get it over with. I tried for three days to sign on to their website to book classes. No success. When I contacted them about this problem, they said that they had lots of complaints and that the responsibility laid with "corporate." I got to observe classes during my two visits to their store. In the several minutes that I was present, I did not see dogs doing anything. Everyone was just sitting or standing and talking. read more

Our family loves taking our new puppy to Zoom room for puppy training classes. The trainers are very knowledgeable and my little pup is learning to take commands as taught and play well with other pups. It has been an amazing experience to watch the pups blossom over time as they learn to respect each others boundaries. I also like to buy treats and toys there as they are well vetted and in line with puppy needs. It's great to also learn from other pup parents and share our experiences! Louie goes 4 days a week and it has been very effective. Plus, he always feels great afterwards and takes long naps afterwards which can be a relief at times! read more

We have been bringing our dog to Zoom Room for about two months now. We love it! We practice his skills all the time at home. It's an easy to follow format with high support and structure. Instructors are so kind, friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly - you can tell how much they move dogs we are Zoomers for life read more

Zoom room is great! My puppy is very shy and starting at 6 months, became a bit reactive. Nervous around other dogs, and basically, just couldn't speak "dog" very well. She couldn't tell when other dogs were being friendly. The playgroups have been great for that. I like that it's indoors, there are instructors around to be watchful and all other dogs in the group have been checked for vaccinations. The obedience classes are very useful. I found the instructor quality to be very good, and all the teachers are friendly. Luna still has not mastered many commands, but has become a more in-tune with me and is trying hard to be self-controlled, which is actually the root of everything. I like how the space is pretty clean and making appointments is pretty easy online. I wish I had known about zoom room earlier, I think with a shy pup starting earlier would have been better. read more

I love Zoom Room! The classes have been such a fun bonding experience for my pup and me. Not only is she developing into a well-mannered dog, but she is confident, happy, and excited to train, too. The trainers do a great job of teaching ME how to train her, which helps with training at home and in the real world. I especially appreciate their focus on positive reinforcement. My puppy has no signs of anxiety or stress, just a wagging tail and a bright attitude every time we walk through the door. The playgroups have helped her become more social and comfortable around other dogs, and the agility classes are a good physical and mental challenge for her. If you're looking for a place that builds your dog's skills while strengthening your relationship, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

My dog Yeti met with Meg and we signed up for private agility training classes. He has done very well and learned quickly with the right motivation. He's excited for each class thus far. Highly recommend to boost your dogs confidence read more

I love Zoom Room. I love the range of classes, I love the folks who run the Belmont location, I love that the classes are small enough to feel like your dog gets the attention he needs to grow and learn. I've been bringing my puppy Mo to agility classes mostly, and it's been fun and rewarding as he learns the apparatuses (apparati?) and the "rules of the road" for being in class. You can tell that the people all love dogs and they know what they're doing when it comes to training. Highly recommended! read more

Without Zoom Room, Bagel would probably be more of a dinosaur than he is now. The guidance of their curriculum has provided the direction we need to know what his gaps are to become Canine Good Citizen certified. Of course, the most important part about training is the trainer, & the best trainer is the one that not only answers your question, provides context, best practices, considerations, but also answers questions you didn't know you had to prevent future disasters. read more

Tessa Belle and I LOVE Zoom Room Belmont! We've been attending classes for nearly 4 years. Zoom Room has helped Tessa and I become a great team and even our veterinarian and her staff have all commented on what a sweet and well trained girl Tessa is. We especially love the agility classes that we've been taking for 3+ years now. Meg is an amazing trainer and makes every class interesting, challenging and especially fun. It's something we both look forward to each and every week! (Side bonus...we've made lots of new friends along the way!). Signed, Julie & Tessa read more

We are having a great time at zoom room Belmont. And all the trainers we have been working with are great. We're attending with our puppy-our 10 year old's first dog. We attended and graduated from puppy preschool, where our puppy got to learn how to socialize and play with other puppies. Now we're in puppy training plus, which has been great teaching us important basic skills and how to train our puppy. We love that they allow our 10 year old to participate in the classes, and he is gaining confidence with our puppy. The staff makes sure everyone feels safe and comfortable to get the best training experience. I highly recommend. read more

Zoom Room Dog Training - Zoom Room puppy agility - Pet Training Near Me - Belmont, California

One star is generous. Avoid Zoom Room Belmont. First, you're required to attend a 30-minute orientation before signing your dog up for anything -- half of which is spent listening to staff complain about how terrible their own website and booking system is. Their advice? Call or show up in person because the online system is unreliable at best. Despite that red flag, I signed up online for a puppy playgroup. While there was some brief socialization (about 15-20 minutes), the rest of the hour was filled with two disinterested "trainers" -- who seemed to be competing for who was more hungover -- giving painfully basic puppy advice that any first-time dog owner would already know. Still, my dog enjoyed the little bit of playtime, so I decided to give it one more shot. I personally went to the front desk after class, paid $65, and asked to be signed up for the following Saturday. I was charged -- but apparently never registered. When I showed up for the class a week later, the young and clearly undertrained staff told me I wasn't in the system and there was "nothing they could do." No refund, no spot for my dog, no solution. Just a smug demand for proof I'd been signed up -- despite me showing a receipt timestamped directly after my last visit. 1 hour spent in the car to/from with a puppy in tow led to me asking for a manager to drop me a line. When they finally called, their response? "Yeah, our system sucks." If this were my franchise, I'd be embarrassed. Terrible systems, zero accountability, and absolutely no understanding of customer service. You're better off anywhere else. If you're looking for actual help: Try the Baxter & Bella Puppy Training Podcast: https://www.baxterandbella.com Watch their YouTube videos For socialization, go to Peninsula Humane Society's playgroups -- $20 (less than 1/3 the price), twice a week, well-run, and worth it: https://furchandise.wixsite.com/behavior/playgroups Don't waste your time or money here. read more

The trainers were originally very experienced and help - Courtney. Now, the trainers are very new and lack experience. As a dog owner of 2 puppies, I thought I had a great place to train my dogs. But at the last training session, the new trainer just put us thru the motions of obedience. He tried to explain the reasoning but it fell short due to lack of experience. I have asked for my money back since their trainers lack experience and knowledge. I should have joined my friends who requested for their money back when Courtney left! I was trying to give the business a chance but it has turned out to be at my lost. Now, they are refusing to refund my money of the remainder of the package. If you are brand new to dog training, then maybe this place will work for you. I would NOT RECOMMEND it. Find someone else who can really help train you to train your dog. read more

The customer service was disappointing to say the least, as my family was so excited to treat our dogs to some playtime. The facility itself is fine / clean and they have a wide range of toys and treats for sale. However, when we first got there, the staff did not explain what was on and off limits. Nothing was set up and we had to ask multiple times what we can or cannot use. Most of the obstacle courses were not available, and they did not seem very invested in helping us set up for our session -- almost annoyed. We still purchased a toy to help support them because we love dogs, but we were disappointed by the unenthusiastic behavior we received from the staff. Unfortunately, we will not be recommending this to fellow dog lovers as we don't want to subject our friends to the same disappointing experience read more

Our puppy is as so shy and scared of everything so we set him up for puppy preschool. It was the best thing for him. He is more confident and has started to learn basic training during class. We will definitely be signing him up for the next round of training classes. read more

Zoom room is the best! The trainers are knowledgeable and patient. It's a great low key environment. Clean and professional. My very timid rescue just completed the Obedience 1 and we are now attending Agility which has been great for her confidence. Love this place! read more

We have attended the puppy preschool and have been very happy with Zoom Room. Our puppy loves it and always sleeps well afterwards. It's a great opportunity to develop his socialization skills and to meet other puppies that are different sizes and personalities. The trainers have all been very friendly. Zoom Room also has a good selection of treats, toys and equipment for purchase. Parking has always been easy. read more

This review is strictly for the birthday party we had there for our pup's 1st birthday. We reserved the gym for two hours on a Saturday night. Zoom Room closes the gym two hours early on the day of reserved parties so that you have the gym all to yourself. From the start, Stevie was super responsive and helpful with helping us book the gym and was there along with another employee to help with hosting the party. The price for two hours is $300 which includes up to 10 pups, bottled water, sparkling water and coffee, full use of the gym , an agility course for the pups and doggy donuts. I think the price has increased since we booked, so checked their website for the most current pricing. We were able to bring in food and additional drinks for the humans. Everyone had a great time! The party tired the pups (and the humans) out! read more

Started our puppy at 10 months in Obedience 1. It's been helpful to learn a positive reward system to train her. Our pup loves going to Zoom Room - and getting lots of treats. She's picked up commands pretty quickly. Hoping to graduate soon to the next level and do agility training with her. read more

We have been going to their puppy pre-school for a month now, and have been super happy with our experience. It is a great combination of puppy play time and socialization, along with some elementary training and exposure to novel items that your puppy might encounter out in the world, such as people in a wheelchair or on a skateboard. We plan to continue on, going to the next level of puppy classes and groups. In addition to their classes and playgroups, they also have a fantastic selection of toys and treats. I highly recommend the Zoom Room to other dog owners. read more

Not easy to get into a class - not for reactive puppies. It seems puppy class isn't for puppies that have not been socialized (I thought these classes teach socialization?) . I mean most of these puppies are straight out of vaccine quarantine. So not much socialization if any. After feeling shamed in puppy class -they even put up a curtain to stop her from seeing the other dogs. No suggestions were made until I asked - and the answer was one on one. So I tried to get a one on one session for my 6mo old gsd- the trainer was booked out for two months or the next day (couldn't make bc of my work schedule). I also talked to another zoom room patron who had the same observation. However, if your puppy is well behaved from the get go then I the classes are informative and fast paced. Most available classes are during work hours (makes sense)- so if you're remote or wfh - you're good. But getting into a later class or weekends is very difficult. read more

Zoom Room Puppy Preschool has turned out to be the perfect, safe place to socialize my 8 week old small puppy. The trainers are great at encouraging the new pups to have the courage to engage with all of the others. They also have great tips about common issues facing new puppy parents. I love their approach to introducing 'scarey' things (wheel chairs, skateboards, firecrackers). They even throw in a little early obedience training! read more

If you want to pay $699 for a pack of 20 50 minutes classes only to be trained by someone that has three months on the job training or a 22 year old trainer that thinks her greatest super power is having no empathy then this is the place for you. However, if you want professional and superior training we were able to find it outside of Zoom Room. read more

Was rejected from making appointments even though I already bought a package which was weird

I have been coming to Zoom Room for almost two months now with my 6 mo. old Aussie and we LOVE it! We are both learning so much and having fun, but more importantly it's strengthening our bond. While you do review some commands frequently and due to their class offerings/schedules sometimes hear repeat information, I've really appreciated the repetition and found it incredibly helpful in the training process. There is so much to learn when training a dog and easy to forget that doing something once doesn't make you an expert! Additionally, their emphasis on behavioral development has been a true lifesaver for our typical smart, willful and energetic Aussie! We've had great experiences with so many of the trainers but Courtney is a definite fav. She never lets you feel bad, alone or incapable when you're struggling with a new command or dealing with behavioral issues. We will definitely be coming here far beyond our basic puppy courses! read more

We have partnered with the Zoom Room to help train us and our hounds, and the experience is always excellent. Depending on your goals, you may opt for either group or private sessions. Either way, you'll get the information you need, the in session practice it takes to get it right, and the confidence that progress is happening onsite and when you're back home. Both Meg and Courtney are outstanding trainers who go the distance to ensure you're getting what you pay for. Happy hounds. Happy humans. That's been the Zoom Room Belmont experience for our family. read more

Zoom Room Dog Training - Our hound had difficulty getting in/out of vehicles. After just one agility session, Bella now leaps into cars like a champ!!! - Pet Training Near Me - Belmont, California

I checked out Zoom Room over a year ago. The set up and classes looked interesting, especially Agility. They also have a variety of interesting treats and toys available. We did their Doom Room Halloween event last October. That was really fun. In the last few weeks, we've been attending Agility 1 with Caleb. The classes are organized and well structured. He gives clear direction and outlines what each pup needs to work on to graduate. Additionally, he tells you (as the owner) what you need to do while instructing your dog (such as standing on the correct side when doing a certain activity). :D. "Train the owner, train the dog" right? He's also given some good suggestions on the best dog toys which I found informative and helpful. His dog Nebula is very sweet and playful. Suggestion: If you're serious about getting your pup to the next level / graduating, I think it's helpful to do practice on your own at home or at the local agility park in addition to class. Cheers and enjoy! Looking forward to having my pup advance and attend more social events there. read more

We went there for training sessions and playgroups. This specific review is for the playgroup. My dog is a vocal dog - when he plays, he makes noises (not every time). But when other dogs don't chase him, he barks at them. I was bringing him to the playgroup to learn how to play with other puppies :) Well, he did not. Even if we were picking him up when he was getting vocal, he continued. Instead of trying to help us, folks at zoom room said to leave. Went we asked how are we going to teach him, they said "go to dog parks" Wtf? I'm paying to come here since it is a more controlled environment. Worst advice ever! At the dog park you don't know the other dogs, you don't know if their owners invest in training. One star for a training facility that recommend us to "go to a dog park" to train our dog how to play with other dogs. The other training classes were ok (puppy preschool and puppy training). But we lost our trust in them unfortu read more

My 3.5 year old Shiba Inu and I have been going to Zoom Room for over a year now and we have absolutely loved their classes. We completed the obedience track, and are now doing agility courses. We have also done the small dogs playgroup which was fantastic for rainy days. The staff and trainers are super accommodating and clearly value their clients satisfaction. I only have good things to say about this facility. My dog has grown so much through the group classes of all these different varieties! read more

This review is for our experience when we were looking to train our newly adopted rescue. We came in for an evaluation which cost around $30. We didn't learn anything, only that we had to buy the package to continue our training. Okay... we decided to continue despite having an underwhelming first impression. On our first training session, the trainer completely forgot who we were and what we talked about and spent the rest of the session explaining why he couldn't train our dog. Uh what? We asked for a refund immediately. Unfortunately we were still out for our initial consultation fee. What a waste of time. read more

I decided to come here for my dog since she has a reactive issue towards small dogs and the trainers here have been very helpful. They quickly told me the reason behind her reactivity which my dog's previous trainer could nit figure out. She improved a lot from just 3 private sessions and I will definitely keep returning read more

we just started a couple of months ago with our very shy sheepdog puppy, Sugabugga. We signed up for a series of puppy training classes and we've seen some amazing improvement in her shyness as well as starting her on the road with training. We also just signed up for a series of puppy play dates which have been so much fun watching her come out of her shell and play with other dogs. Suga had a blast and was one worn out dog afterwards. The trainers and staff at Zoom Room have been very supportive and helpful with our training and has addressed our issues with her shyness with kindness. They are always focused on everyone's dogs while offering individual helpful tips. Thank you Zoom Room! read more

I've been attending puppy preschool for almost a month, it was super easy to sign up & after the orientation, you can view the classes online & easily sign up. Courtney has been super helpful with the training & we've been learning something new every time we go.

Definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Let's just start here: I hate writing bad reviews. I tried to understand and then remedy an awkward and frustrating series of events. There was only one staff member who spoke to me like an adult. He was the only friendly one (over the phone). And, because the owner decided not to ask for my perspective while being treated like a child from one specific staff member (obviously, name withheld) over four times, without any remorse for being a jerk I am left with being a jerk, also. I've been to ZR before; I thought it would be a great place to go for my 10 month old, who is a very friendly and trainable dog. Thrice over the phone this woman would not listen and was condescending and rude. I did everything I was advised to do. Finally, in person, same thing. There wasn't even a proper greeting (no hello) followed by assumption. I was dumbfounded. But, alas, we have many choices in our society and I just happened to find a perfect match and some serious training for us. My boy is doing amazing things like Parkour and the treadmill. And, all I wanted was an evaluation and whether my boy and ZR would be a good fit. All I got was frustration and my dog is left wondering, "what happened, papa?!" :-( read more
