OUR INSTRUCTORS

Jaime Van Wye, Top Dog & Training Director

Jaime conceptualized The Zoom Room after trying to refer dog training clients to local agility classes – and finding that there were none!  Frustrated by long drives and outdoor puddles, she decided to offer her training clients something more, and opened LA’s first indoor dog agility center, concentrating exclusively on providing a much-needed social outlet for the discriminating urban pooch owner.

A graduate of U.C. Berkeley with a degree in philosophy, Jaime has trained dogs in search and rescue, bomb and drug detection, criminal apprehension, and tracking, as well as how not to bite the mailman.  Her greatest training accomplishment to date was teaching a Labrador how to pee in a urinal – and flush.  She also works as a kennel consultant and has written extensively on dog daycare and kennel management (www.kennelstart.com), and is also the author of the satirical self-help book, How to Have an Ill-Behaved Dog (Knock Knock). 

Jaime is a Certified Master Dog Trainer, a graduate of the North State K9 Academy, and a Professional Level Member of the International Association of Canine Professionals. She shares her home with a very shaggy sheepdog.
