Zoom Room Dog Training is part of a franchise that began in 2007 and has since expanded to more than 60 locations nationwide. According to their site, the company authored a puppy training book they describe as the best-selling dog training book in America for five consecutive years.
Their Long Beach location operates out of an indoor, climate-controlled facility that they say is regularly sanitized and restricted to vaccinated, screened dogs. This setup, they explain, allows puppies as young as eight weeks to begin socializing safely before completing their full vaccination series.
The program structure emphasizes owner participation, clients attend every class alongside their dog rather than dropping them off. They describe their approach as focused on training people as much as dogs, with socialization and confidence-building prioritized over rote obedience. Classes use a flexible skill-based levels system rather than fixed weekly sessions, so owners progress at their own pace. The curriculum covers group obedience, puppy foundations, agility, and supervised playgroups. For dogs with mild reactivity or shyness, they offer private training and dedicated shy dog classes, though they note that dogs with serious aggression are referred to veterinary behaviorists. All training relies exclusively on positive reinforcement, with no corrections or aversive tools.
