As a successful dog trainer, you juggle a lot of responsibilities. You've got independent clients and dog training classes on the one hand and all the back-office business needs on the other.

If you're like many dog trainers, you see the value of reducing back and forth client communication and automating many of your marketing tasks like asking for reviews and posting to your Facebook and Instagram.

That's the value of dog training software.

The right pet industry software handles scheduling, invoicing, appointment reminders, and much more.  

Dog training software is your business manager on the go (with the app.)

● It schedules your appointments.

● Lets you offer group classes.

● Takes deposits and implements a waiting list.

● It also handles your invoicing, automates routine marketing tasks, and supports other pet care services like pet boarding or grooming.  

In fact, the best dog training software does all that, plus runs your website too!

The result is, you can focus on what you do best, train dogs.  

Here's a quick story about two dog trainers. Let's call them Trina and Sam. Trina and Sam have both trained dogs for about seven years professionally. They started out working for someone else, and each started their own dog training businesses about four years ago.

They each have three or more employees who also train dogs. So they have employee schedules to juggle too.  

Sam pieces together an invoicing app, Google calendar, a social media scheduling app.

Booking group classes and taking deposits requires a lot of back and forth messaging and manually sending invoices. It's a lot to juggle.  

In fact, in the past month, two of his trainers double-booked themselves TWICE. He knows there's got to be a better way to manage scheduling.

He bumps into Trina at the grocery store, where he stopped to grab a quick lunch in between dog training sessions.  

"Hey, Sam!"
"Hey, Trina. How's it going? It seems like I see you everywhere online. Business good?"

Trina laughs, "Yeah, it's great! I started using this amazing software that makes everything run so much smoother. It frees up so much mental energy, and I now have time to train dogs again! I even hired another trainer part-time!"

"Yeah? What're you using? Does it schedule group classes and employees and take deposits? Two of my trainers double-booked themselves recently, and I'm wondering how to prevent this from happening again."

"Ah, I hear you, Sam. That's happened to me too. But not anymore. Now I have a process, and this dog training software tool manages the schedule both for staff and customers. That way, everyone can see at a glance what's happening when. It also handles group classes and individual classes. PLUS, it automatically asks your clients for reviews right after your appointment while it's still fresh in their minds." 

"That sounds awesome, Trina. I know I need more reviews for the Google love, but I always forget to ask. Besides, it feels awkward."

"Yeah, I know. But when it happens automatically, you don't even think about it anymore. In fact, I've been able to ditch all my other software subscriptions for this one thing. It even runs my website! It's like having a fully-trained employee who knows exactly what you want!"  

"Sounds amazing. Can you send me the link?"

"Sure thing, Sam! I'll send it right now." Trina takes out her phone and pressed "send." "Enjoy your day!" Trina waves and dashes off to her car. Sam grabs a sandwich and thinks about what she said.  

Could there really be an all-in-one software tool that manages everything for his dog training business?

He wonders if this can be the missing ingredient in his overloaded schedule?  

● Will it take a deposit?
● Will it manage a waiting list?
● What about the pet boarding side of the business?

● Will it send automatic reminders to his clients?  

He starts calculating the time and money savings if he can cancel some of his pre-existing subscriptions and have everything in one place.

Could he cancel his invoicing software? What about that review management thing he'd recently signed up for. Could he get rid of that too?  

He knows he needs to streamline his workflow and have a way to keep track of every part of the business in one place.

Sam makes a mental note to check out Trina's link and heads to his training.  

Sam runs into Trina again at the store.

"Hey, Sam!"  

"Hey, Trina! Listen, thanks so much for your recommendation on that dog training software app. It's saved me so much time!"

"Great! It's been a lifesaver for me!"   

"Yeah, it even keeps all the client files together like vaccination records and preferences. Seriously, it's amazing."

"Wait, it even keeps client records handy?"  

"Yep!"

"Sounds like something I need to look into."  

"Awesome! Hey, we can all use a little help, right?" Trina says.

"Yep." Sam gives her a thumbs up.  

What would it mean to YOU if you had an automated personal assistant to run your dog training business? 

If you're like most dog trainers, you got into this because you love dogs. You understand the difference a well-trained dog can have on the life of the people it lives with. A good dog has a strong bond with its family and will make a loving impact.

As a seasoned dog trainer, you know it's so much more than showing up and teaching a dog how to heel, stay, and roll over. Even if you specialize in challenging cases like aggression, that's a much-needed service, but you still have to manage the business side.  

You need a mobile-friendly website. You need an up-to-date social media presence and plenty of positive reviews. You also need an easy way to digitize your programs and processes in a way that's easy for your clients and easy for you.

One way to make sure your people (and their dogs) keep their appointments and show up to dog training class is with reminders and paid deposits. But if you do that manually, that takes time. The time you could be spending marketing for new clients or running other aspects of your business.  

EasyBusyPets.com is the dog training software you didn't know you needed. In fact, a lot of dog trainers don't realize there's software designed to support their unique needs. From minimizing the back and forth communications with clients to an easy way to keep track of vaccination records, and service term agreements. Our pet industry software truly is an all-in-one business solution for growing dog training businesses.
