Simplify booking and client management, so you can focus on training dogs.
TrainerTime is a cloud-based CRM and scheduling platform designed specifically for independent dog trainers. It eliminates tedious admin work by combining online booking, client management, and communication tools into one easy-to-use system. Trainers can manage multiple services like group classes, private sessions, and board-and-train programs, while tracking each dog's progress with custom fields for behavior notes and training milestones. Automated reminders reduce no-shows, and integrated invoicing simplifies payments. With a mobile-friendly interface and affordable subscription tiers, TrainerTime helps trainers look professional, stay organized, and grow their business. Built with direct input from dog training professionals, the platform addresses their unique pain points such as managing client expectations, tracking vaccination records, and scheduling make-up sessions.
The pet industry is booming, and independent trainers increasingly rely on digital tools to compete with larger franchises. Generic CRMs ignore niche needs, creating a gap for a specialized solution.
