\nCompany Description

Zoom Room Dog Training – Colorado Springs is a positive-reinforcement dog training facility where our goal is to help dogs and their people build better communication, confidence, and stronger relationships.

We’re a busy, growing business with a 5,700-square-foot facility, two indoor training gyms, and programs ranging from Puppy Preschool and obedience to agility, tricks, scent work, and private training. Our classes are intentionally small, which allows our trainers to actually coach people rather than simply manage a room full of dogs.

Working here is about much more than loving dogs. We are educators first. Our trainers teach humans how to understand and work with their dogs using humane, science-based, positive-reinforcement methods. That means strong communication skills, patience, empathy, reliability, and the ability to connect with people are just as important as dog-training experience.

We’re looking for people who want to learn, improve their skills, contribute to a team, and take pride in helping clients succeed. If you enjoy dogs, enjoy people, and want work where you can see the impact you make every day, Zoom Room Colorado Springs can be a very rewarding place to work.
