Dog trainer booking software for private lessons and 1:1 training

A dog training reservation app clients use from any phone

Owners book between walks and work, often on their phone. Twizzlo's booking page works like a dog training reservation app without the download: it opens in any phone browser, shows your sessions and open times, and lets an owner reserve a slot in a few taps.

Each booking sends a confirmation, and reminders go out by email, and by SMS on Business Pro, so the session stays on the owner's radar. When plans change, owners reschedule themselves from the booking link within the booking rules you set, instead of texting you in the evening.

You get the same access: open the calendar in a phone or tablet browser between sessions to see who is next and read the notes on that dog before you arrive.

Dog trainer booking software pricing: Free or $29.99 a month

Twizzlo Free is $0 a month for up to 150 bookings, with no SMS. It is a free plan, not a trial, and it includes the booking page, calendars, client profiles, staff scheduling, insights and online payments with tips, with email reminders. A solo trainer building a client list can start free and upgrade only when bookings or SMS reminders call for it.

Business Pro is $29.99 a month per business for unlimited bookings and 50 SMS a month, then $0.03 each, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Both plans include unlimited trainers and locations, so adding a trainer never raises the price. Online payments carry your Stripe processing rate plus a 1.5% Twizzlo platform fee.

Dog training scheduling software for one trainer or a team

Dog training scheduling software has to handle more than one kind of day: sessions at your training space, home visits across town, and a second trainer with different hours. In Twizzlo each trainer gets a staff profile, an individual schedule and a calendar view of their own, and you assign each session type to the trainers who teach it.

Buffer times hold drive time between home visits on each trainer's calendar, and time off and availability management keep holidays off the booking page. When you train at more than one location, Employee Shifts plan who works where, and role-based access decides what each trainer can see and change.

Locations are unlimited, each with its own booking link and working hours. Adding a trainer or a location never changes the Business Pro price.

A dog trainer CRM with notes on every dog and owner

Training builds from one session to the next, so the notes matter as much as the calendar. Twizzlo works as a dog trainer CRM: every owner has a client profile, and that profile holds what you need to know about each of their dogs.

If you are looking for a CRM for dog trainers, check that notes and history sit next to the booking itself, so nothing has to be copied between apps. As canine software, Twizzlo keeps it simple: one profile per owner, shared with the trainers you choose through role-based access. Each profile holds:

• Notes, preferences and allergies for each dog on the owner's client profile
• Visit history, so every trainer with access sees what was covered last time
• Total spend per client, including tips
• Repeat client tracking to see which owners keep booking
• Client search and filtering to find any owner

Prepaid sessions and no-show fees for training slots

A missed private lesson is an hour you cannot sell again, and a missed home visit also costs you the drive. Turn on prepaid bookings for any session type: the owner pays the full session price online through Stripe when they book, so the slot is only held once it is paid. No-show fees are supported, so your policy can put a price on a missed session, and when an owner misses a prepaid session, you decide whether to keep or refund the payment.

Cancellation handling and custom booking rules support the terms you set. Write the policy down and share it with owners before the first session. For policy wording, see how to set a no-show charge.

Dog training business software: payments, tips and insights

Dog training business software should show you whether the business is working, not only who is booked. Clients pay online through Stripe when they book and can add a tip, and you can record manual payments for sessions paid another way, so each owner's total spend stays accurate.

The dashboard shows booking volume, revenue, next-hour insights and trainer availability and utilization, in daily, weekly and monthly views, with new customers tracking and forecasts. Use them to plan the week and to see when a second trainer would pay off.
