Dog training software FAQs

Is Gingr a good scheduling platform for dog training businesses?

Yes, Gingr is built to handle the unique scheduling needs dog training businesses have. With Gingr, you can easily manage multi-week group classes, private lessons, and board and train programs. Our robust, flexible tools can also be configured to fit more niche class structures as needed.

Can Gingr’s dog training business software handle multi-week classes?

Yes, Gingr allows you to schedule Group Classes as a fixed series of individual sessions. Clients only have to enroll once to secure their spot for the entire course, and the system will automatically reserve their space for all dates in the series. This simplifies bookings on your end while providing enhanced customer experiences.

What if I require a deposit to hold a spot in a class?

To prevent no-shows and ensure commitment, you can configure your online portal to automatically require a deposit at the time of booking. You can customize the deposit amount and set required deposits for specific sessions or date ranges.

Can I create a waitlist for full classes?

Yes! If a popular class reaches capacity, clients can join a waitlist. Alternatively, you can configure Gingr so that only one of your team members can add reservations to the waitlist. Waitlisted clients will then be notified if an opening becomes available, helping you maximize attendance and revenue for every course.

What software do dog trainers use?

Professional dog trainers use dog training software like Gingr to run classes and lessons: a scheduling calendar for private lessons and group classes, online enrollment with deposits and waitlists, recurring sessions, progress notes on each dog’s profile, automated reminders, and integrated payments — all in one system.
