Zoom Room sales jump ahead in Q3

Dog training franchise Zoom Room is reporting solid sales growth in 2026.

Franchisees have demonstrated two consecutive quarters of double-digit sales gains, according to Zoom Room Dog Training. Sales in the second quarter of this year increased 12% on a year-over-year basis while sales in the third quarter jumped more than 18% compared to the same period a year ago.

Zoom Room notes that its momentum in 2026 follows a reset launched last year. That’s when the company decided to pause new unit development and place a focus on strengthening its foundation. The brand says it has more than 45 locations currently open.

“In all my years in small-unit operations and franchising, I’ve rarely seen this kind of momentum in same-store sales across an entire system. I’m incredibly excited by what we’re seeing at Zoom Room, and the credit belongs to our franchisees and Support Center team,” said Don Allen, COO of Zoom Room

Other recent movies from Zoom Room included adding former Petco CEO and Zoom Room investor Ron Coughlin as chairman along with brining on board Darris Cooper, one of the industry’s preeminent training leaders; and accomplished franchise development executive Jackie Mendes.

“2025 was a year of making smart, sometimes difficult choices about where we wanted to take Zoom Room,” said Mark Van Wye, founder and CEO of Zoom Room. “We chose to pause development and invest in the fundamentals of the business: people, technology, operating efficiency, real estate strategy, and the customer experience. Seeing that effort now translate into two consecutive quarters of double-digit same-store sales growth is incredibly encouraging.”

Zoom Room says it offers positive-reinforcement training, structured socialization, enrichment, and community. The brand provides a “Socialization-as-a-Service” model through small group classes in an indoor gym environment where owners actively participate alongside their dogs.

“Training gives dogs and their families a shared language, and socialization helps them use that language everywhere else,” said Coughlin. “Zoom Room has transformed dog training from a one-time transaction into an ongoing experience that brings pet parents and their dogs back again and again to learn, socialize and grow.

Zoom Room is resuming franchise development and indicated it has completed recent franchise sales in Florida and Virginia.
