For dog training

Dog training business software, built by someone who runs one.

Most training businesses run on a patchwork — a booking tool, notes in a notebook, leads in a spreadsheet, follow-up in someone's head. BarkWhiz pulls scheduling, client and dog records, session logging, and your lead pipeline into one place — built by an operator who runs two training franchises and needed exactly this.

Your training business in BarkWhiz

The same capabilities that run boarding and daycare facilities — framed for how a training business books, tracks progress, and follows up. All live today.

Schedule sessions & packages

Book sessions, classes, and evals on the same engine that runs busy boarding floors — sell a six-session package and schedule against it, client and dog already on screen.

Client & dog records that hold the history

Every dog carries the whole story — temperament, what you're working on, what's working — so a new trainer picks up a client with the context right there, not in last week's trainer's head.

One-tap session logging

Log what you covered, how the dog did, and what's next in a single tap from the floor — captured while it's fresh, not from memory at day's end.

Build your own training program

Set up your curriculum the way you teach it — your phases, your skills, your success criteria — then enroll each dog and track progress from introduced to practicing to mastered. Your program, not a stock template you have to work around.

AI-drafted session recaps

BarkWhiz turns the session you logged into a first-draft recap for the owner; your trainer adjusts the homework and sends. The AI writes; a human decides what goes out.

A pipeline workspace for leads & follow-up

Inquiries, evals, quotes, and follow-ups owed live in one staff workspace — so the lead from Tuesday and the client who hasn't rebooked don't slip between a notebook and three inboxes.

Built for more than one location

Run multiple locations with role-based access — five roles, tenant isolation — so a trainer sees their clients, a manager their site, you the whole operation. Billing on Stripe; QuickBooks syncs the books.

The lead you forgot to call back is the one that hurts.

In training, the money rarely leaks on the floor — it leaks in the gaps between a first inquiry and a booked program: the eval that never got a follow-up, the quote that went cold, the package that quietly lapsed.

Where leads go to die

A call mid-session, a DM you meant to answer, an eval that needed one more touch — scattered across your phone, a notebook, and your memory. The ones that slip are the good ones you never got back to.

One pipeline your team actually works

Leads, evals, quotes, and follow-ups in one workspace — live today — so you see what's owed and who's next at a glance. A place your team works the pipeline, not a blaster firing texts on its own.

From the founder

This is my own world.

"I run two Sit Means Sit training franchises — Dallas and College Station. So when I talk about a lead that never got called back or a recap that didn't get written because the day got away, I'm not guessing. The tools I could buy recorded bookings; they didn't help my trainers move a client through a program or keep my pipeline from leaking.

So I started building the system I actually wanted to run my own locations on. If you train dogs for a living, we're solving the same problems — and I'd rather get it right with a handful of training businesses than ship something that demos well and falls apart on a packed Saturday."

Ryan Leach, MBA Founder & Operator — Sit Means Sit Dallas & College Station

Questions trainers ask

Yes. You sell a package and schedule sessions against it on the same reservations engine that runs full boarding and daycare facilities. The client and dog ride along into each booking, so there's no re-entering who you're working with every time.

It's yours to shape. Build a training program out of your own phases and skills, each with the success criteria you use to call it done. Enroll a dog and your trainers log where they are on every skill — introduced, practicing, proofing, mastered — so progress is tracked against your method, not a generic template. Progress tracking is a staff tool today; a client-facing progress view isn't live yet, and we'll say so until it is.

No — and that's deliberate. The AI drafts the recap from the session you logged; a human on your team reads it, adjusts it, and decides whether and when to send. Nothing reaches an owner without someone on your team saying yes. The AI does the writing, not the deciding.

It's a workspace, not a campaign blaster. Leads, evaluations, quotes, tasks, and follow-ups live in one place so your team can see what's owed and work it. It keeps your pipeline organized and visible — it doesn't fire off automated email or text blasts on its own.

That's how it's built — by someone running two locations himself. Role-based access (five roles, with tenant isolation) lets a trainer see their clients, a manager see their site, and you see the whole operation across locations.

Scheduling, client and dog records, one-tap session logging, AI-drafted recaps for your team to review and send, the staff pipeline workspace, Stripe-powered subscription billing, and role-based multi-location access all work today. Your branded client portal is live too — clients book online, upload their dog's vaccine records, and pay their balance, all under your brand — in real use with our first facilities now. The QuickBooks integration is live. Automatic outbound reminders (system-sent email and text — appointment and vaccine reminders, not marketing blasts) now send straight from BarkWhiz, with AI-drafted recaps still reviewed by your team first; more integrations are still in active development. We'd rather be upfront than oversell — ask us anything on your call.

Founding facilities receive Ops + CRM for $249/month, locked for 24 months. After that, they retain a permanent 15% discount from the then-current list price.

The cost of doing nothing

What is the status quo quietly costing your training business?

Open class slots, clients who finished a package and never came back, add-ons you never charged for — revenue leaks quietly. Plug in your rough numbers to estimate what's slipping through.

Estimate based on your inputs and the assumptions above — not a guarantee of revenue uplift. BarkWhiz helps you stop leaking hidden revenue.

Don't have these numbers handy?

That's the whole problem — and it's not on you. Legacy software records every session and payment, then never adds it up: which slots went unfilled, which clients quietly stopped booking. So these are an educated guess. BarkWhiz reads the data you already have and shows you the real number — with its work.
