Heather Gillihan, franchise owner of Zoom Room Dog Training, in Trophy Club, Texas, a national indoor dog gym and training facility, was recently profiled on Forbes discussing her entrepreneurial journey from rocket scientist to Zoom Room franchisee. Written by author and founder of Jill Griffin Executive Learning, Jill Griffin, Gillihan’s story is included in her series of dynamic and ambitious female leader profiles.
Throughout this piece titled, “If You Want to Be Successful, Believe in Yourself and Shoot for The Moon,” Gillihan discusses her interesting career path and journey from childhood, to rocket scientist, to business ownership of a pet franchise. Gillihan’s path has taken her all over the world from working for the U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command, to living abroad in Israel with her Husband.
“My husband began prompting me to consider what I wanted to do when we moved back to the states. He said, ‘This time, do what you're passionate about... dog training!’” states Gillihan.
Coincidentally while Gillihan was at a standstill in her career, she saw a TV segment with the founder of Zoom Room discussing their brand and unique method of positive-reinforcement training. After finding out there were franchise opportunities, Gillihan took a leap of faith and has never looked back. Gillihan is coming on four years of successfully owning and operating Zoom Room Dog Training in Trophy Club, Texas, a bedroom community of Dallas.
