| Experience | Absolutely no prior dog training experience is necessary. However, it goes without saying that candidates MUST LOVE DOGS! Candidates should have impeccable professional appearance, charm and charisma, as this is a customer-service-oriented business. Excellent spoken and written communication skills, great attention to detail, basic computer skills, enthusiasm, passion, ambition, warmth and compassion are necessities. Having run your own business, or past experience in sales, marketing, and teaching or coaching groups of people are all great assets to bring to the table. You should have $75K of liquid capital available for this business and a net worth of at least $150K. | |

| Training | On-The-Job Training: 172 hours Classroom Training: 17.25 hours | The Zoom Room's proprietary online classroom is like a grad school course in dog behavior, providing a comprehensive educational background. After completing this course at your own pace, completing all assignments, and performing volunteer work at local shelters, you will attend three weeks of hands-on training in Los Angeles learning the curriculum, training methods and dog handling, as well as our state-of-the-art software system for managing enrollments, inventory, sales, accounting and client management, as well as all other topics germane to running your business successfully. You will also receive richly-detailed curriculum guides for all classes. |
| Support | Meetings/Conventions Security/Safety Procedures | All of the worlds best teachers know that learning never ends. We have been training dogs forever, and yet not a day goes by that we do not pick up some new insight, technique, or modification. Recognizing this, we make sure that all of our franchisees receive ongoing training. If there is a better way to get a dog to stop counter-surfing, or to bring you a latte, we want to make sure you know all about it, so you can share it with your clients and their eager-to-learn dogs. |
