Dog training

Check-in software for dog training schools

Puppy preschool, basic obedience, advanced training, and private consults — all on one kiosk. Built for trainers running weekly cohorts who want to stop chasing payments on a Wednesday.

What keeps dog training schools up on a Tuesday

  • Vaccination records required before first class — currently chased via email.
  • Cohorts of 8 dogs per class that have to stay together through 6 weeks.
  • Private consults for reactive dogs priced way above group class.
  • Spreadsheet payment tracking on top of Facebook-messaged bookings.

How SessionHQ fits dog training schools

Vaccination gating

Required field at enrolment. No first check-in until vacc records uploaded.

Cohort-stable enrolments

A 6-week puppy preschool is a fixed cohort. Same dogs, same weeks, one pass.

Private consults

1:1 session with its own pricing and duration, separate from group pass.

Built around how you already talk

  • "Preschool" is the puppy intro course, usually 4–6 weeks.
  • "Reactive" dog classes or consults need separate scoping.

Typical passes for dog training schools

  • 6-week puppy preschool
  • 8-week obedience course
  • 1:1 private consult
