About Zoom Room

Zoom Room is the only indoor dog training gym in the U.S. We focus on strengthening the bond between dogs and their owners. Socialization and community at the heart of everything we do. Our philosophy is simple: We don't train dogs. We train the people who love them. Every class is built on positive reinforcement with 100% owner involvement. Zoom Room is not a daycare, nor a boarding facility and most definitely not a commodity service. Owners are with their dogs the entire time and actively participating in the training and ongoing enrichment of their pet. That creates a stickier, more engaged and loyal customer base. Our average retention rate is: 87%. Our system-wide average Google Review rating is 4.86 stars. Zoom Room is about education, enrichment and community.

At its core, AAPR is a relationship-driven business built around recurring, behavior-based revenue. This isn?t a one-time transaction model. Daycare creates weekly routines, boarding drives higher-ticket stays, and grooming plus add-ons expand customer spend, resulting in strong frequency, high lifetime value, and predictable revenue streams. What really separates AAPR is the emotional stickiness of the model. Pet parents aren?t just buying a service, they?re trusting someone with a family member. That trust is built visit by visit, and once established, it creates long-term loyalty, repeat usage, and referral-driven growth. From an investment standpoint, this is a premium, brick-and-mortar asset play. Facilities are typically 7,500 to 12,000 square feet in high-income suburban trade areas, designed for efficiency, capacity, and scalability. At maturity, locations have averaged around $1.7M in annual revenue, with performance driven by utilization, ticket size, and visit frequency. Operationally, it?s a structured, team-based model with manager-run potential. Owners don?t need pet industry experience, we provide comprehensive support across site selection, buildout, training, hiring, marketing, and ongoing performance coaching. This fits well with candidates who are semi-absentee or executive owners, value systems and process, and are looking for a scalable platform they can grow into multiple units over time. Bottom line, this is a premium brand in a high-demand category, with recurring revenue, strong unit economics, and a business model built on relationships that keep customers coming back week after week. Corporate Values: Respect • Practice the "Golden Rule"; • First, listen to understand • Provide a safe environment • Treat all pets as if they are our own • Have honest communication always • Promote education and responsible pet ownership Integrity • Only make agreements we intend to keep • Look to the System to correct problems/issues • Always look for the best but be prepared for the worst Customer Focus • Deliver the Brand Promise • Strive to maximize both internal & external customer loyalty • Respond correctly, in a timely manner considering customer service first and foremost Revenue Streams: • Pet Boarding • Pet Grooming • Pet Daycare • Up/Cross Sell, treat, extra 1:1 play time etc Brand Highlights • High-Margin Dog Boarding/Daycare • 24-hour, 365 Day On-site Staff • Pet Health & Wellness Focus • 24-Hour Webcams • "Best of the Best" Rankings • Scalable business model • Odorless, high-end HVAC • Online Reservations • Ongoing R&D

Always Faithful Dog Training

Independent

Always Faithful is a dog training franchise that was founded by a former Marine. During his service, Abraham became a certified K-9 handler, taught marksmanship at the rifle range and operated a Repairable Issue Point. Abraham is also a service-connected disabled veteran. After he was honorably discharged in 2003, Abraham started his own dog training company and has since trained over six thousand dogs. Abraham is one of the most experienced dog trainers in the country. A UNIQUE differentiator about our model is that we do not use any treats, shock collars, or clickers to train dogs. We use proven leadership techniques. We offer franchise opportunities that can not only be profitable, but incredibly fun and rewarding as well! In addition to basic obedience, we offer: • Puppy training : Basic and Advanced • Obedience Training : Basic, Advanced and High Distraction • Behavior Modification • Therapy • Service • Tracking All training sessions are either done at the client's home or through board and train (which is another optional revenue stream). We are also one of the fastest growing dog training franchises in the United States for the following reasons: • Over 85% growth for 5 years in a row • Veteran friendly franchise • Low investment • The most experienced dog training franchise team ever assembled
