What if your local dog park wasn’t just a place to play—but a thriving community built for both pets and people?
In this episode, I talk with Ramy Saleh, CEO of Zoomies Dog Park, about how he’s reshaping the dog park experience from the ground up. From behavior assessments and vaccination requirements to play zones and social events, Zoomies is setting a new standard for safe, enriching spaces where dogs and humans connect.
Ramy shares his personal journey from Cairo to Houston and explains how his love for dogs inspired a bigger mission—to build a true community hub that’s as much for people as it is for pets.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why Zoomies’ behavior assessments and members-only system create a safer park experience
• The thoughtful design elements that support canine instincts and human comfort
• How dog parks can become powerful community spaces that go beyond fetch and frisbees

From workshops to partnerships with rescues, Zoomies is on a mission to make dog ownership easier, more connected, and more joyful for everyone involved.
