To build a thriving pet franchise, Zoom Room® has redefined the indoor dog training experience. We’re not just training dogs—we’re empowering the people who love them. Our innovative approach focuses on socialization, creating a positive environment where dogs and their owners can grow together. Appealing especially to millennials and educated, active individuals—particularly women—Zoom Room has tapped into a loyal, passionate market that values the well-being of their pets. Our revenue model is diverse, with steady streams from dog training classes, socialization events, and retail products. What sets us apart? The low initial investment. With a small footprint of 3,000 square feet, minimal staffing requirements (just two people), and zoning flexibility, the barriers to entry are much lower than typical franchises. Plus, with owners accompanying their dogs throughout each session, liability remains minimal. Zoom Room’s model delivers six-figure profitability driven by extraordinary customer loyalty. Our clients stay with us for years, and lifetime spending can be up to 100 times the cost of acquisition. We consistently outshine competitors, with more 5-star reviews than any other dog training business in America and a customer recommendation score that rivals that of tech giants like Apple and Amazon. Beyond business, Zoom Room fosters a strong sense of community by partnering with animal rescues and charitable organizations.
