DO YOU LOVE DOGS? WE DO!

The Zoom Room Dog Training Center and Canine Social Club is the first of its kind, and we are looking for friendly, certified, outgoing, dog trainers or qualified candidates who desire a long term career in dog training. We are a positive ONLY reinforcement training center.

Professional dog training experience is not required, but a plus. You must have had experience training your own dog, using force-free, positive reinforcement training methods. If you meet the criteria, with previous dog training certification and/or education we will provide your training to receive a Zoom Room Dog Training Certification.

Our motto at the Zoom Room is “We don’t train dogs. We train the people who love them.”
Therefore, you must be able to communicate effectively to people of all ages and backgrounds in both a group and private setting.

Private Lessons for any of the above, as well as behavioral problems such as leash reactivity, potty training, crate training, and other nuisance behaviors (jumping, biting, barking, etc) are also part of the duties of a Zoom Room Dog Trainer.
