Helping UK dog trainers and UK dog owners

K9PN works both sides of UK dog training. We build the websites, CRM and software that keep a trainer's business running, and we help UK dog owners find a professional trainer near them.

For UK dog owners

Tell us where you are and what your dog needs, and we pass your request to a professional dog trainer near you. It is free to ask. K9PN is a referral service, so we do not train dogs ourselves.

What we can build

Start with the bottleneck. Build the application around it.

These are examples, not rigid packages. Each application can combine the features your business needs and leave out what it does not.

AI

AI Training Companion + Virtual Programme

Use your videos, lessons and training philosophy to give current clients useful answers at home. If the question needs a person, it moves to your trainer. The same system can power a paid online-only programme where remote clients send questions, photos and videos for team feedback.

Example: A client uploads a recall video. The app points them to the right lesson, then places the video in a trainer's review queue.

CP

Client + Trainer Communication Portal

Give every dog one organised record for goals, homework, session notes, wins, questions and uploaded media. Trainers work from one queue while the owner keeps visibility across every conversation.

Example: See which clients have not received feedback, which trainer owns the next action and what was promised.

OC

Owner Command Centre

Bring the lead pipeline, client roster, revenue, trainer activity, programme progress and renewal risk into one business view. The goal is a daily operating screen, not another monthly report.

Example: Open one dashboard and see today's sessions, overdue client replies, open capacity and clients nearing renewal.

BK

Smart Booking + Live Availability

Show clients open boarding dates, private lessons, day-training spots or group-class seats from inside their portal. They choose, pay a deposit and receive confirmation without phone tag.

Example: A boarding spot opens. Qualified clients see the dates in their app and can book before that inventory goes unused.

UP

In-App Offers, Upsells + Promotions

Place relevant next-step offers where active clients already log in: advanced training, boarding, refresher sessions, seminars, gear or seasonal promotions. You control what appears and when.

Example: A client finishing foundations sees the correct advanced programme and can purchase it without waiting for a sales call.

ST

Staff Operations + Quality Control

Create one place for trainer assignments, due-outs, SOPs, case notes, approvals and owner review. Standardise the customer experience without requiring the owner to chase every update.

Example: The owner sees every task that is blocked, every client awaiting a response and the history behind the work.

LG

Local Lead Delivery + Sales Pipeline

K9PN can use its own system to find potential dog-training opportunities in your area and pass them to your business for a fee. Your application can organise those leads, ownership, contact status and results without exposing how the lead system works.

Example: New opportunities appear in your private pipeline, ready for your team to accept, contact and move through follow-up.

Client portal software

Dog training client portal software

A client portal gives every dog one organised record, so clients know what to do next without searching through texts, email and old videos.

One record per dog

Goals, homework, session notes, wins, questions and uploaded media in one place.

Ask and upload

Clients ask questions from your approved training library and send photos and videos for feedback.

Book and pay

Clients see open boarding dates, private lessons and class seats, then book and pay a deposit without phone tag.

One trainer queue

Trainers work from a single queue instead of scattered messages, and the owner can see every conversation.

CRM for dog trainers

CRM for dog trainers: keep GoHighLevel or add to it

You don't have to give up the CRM you already use. A K9PN application sits alongside GoHighLevel and uses your contacts, calendars, forms and follow-up.

Lead pipeline

Track every lead by owner and contact status, from first inquiry through follow-up.

Client roster

See every active client with progress, homework and renewal risk in one view.

Open capacity

See open spots across boarding, private lessons and classes, and fill them with the right clients.

Follow-up that fits

Keep using the contacts, calendars, forms and follow-up you already have in GoHighLevel.

GoHighLevel setup, optimisation and automation →

Automate your dog training business operations

If a task repeats, gets lost or needs someone to chase it, it can usually be automated. Start with the one workflow that costs you the most time, then expand once it works.

Intake + programme matching

Collect the dog's history and goals, then prepare discovery questions and service options for staff review.

Homework + follow-up

Remind clients about homework and flag missed sessions before the relationship drifts.

Renewals + openings

Alert you to clients nearing renewal and announce open boarding dates to the right clients.

Staff SOP library

Give new staff searchable access to your SOPs, standards and approved answers.

One application, three sides

Better for the client. Clearer for the trainer. Visible to the owner.

The strongest application does not replace the trainer. It removes repetitive work, organises handoffs and gives the right person the right view.

01 / CLIENT

A better training experience at home

Clients know what to do next and where to get help without searching through texts, email and old videos.

  • Ask from your approved library
  • Upload questions, photos and videos
  • See homework and progress
  • Book and buy inside the portal
02 / TRAINER

One queue instead of scattered messages

Trainers can focus on the situations that need their judgement while routine guidance stays organised.

  • Review AI escalations
  • Reply to media submissions
  • Update goals and session notes
  • See assigned client actions
03 / OWNER

Full visibility without micromanaging

Owners can see service quality, capacity, sales opportunities and risk before a problem becomes a cancellation.

  • Monitor every client and trainer
  • Publish openings and promotions
  • Track pipeline and renewals
  • See what needs attention today
More applications to consider

If it repeats, gets lost or needs visibility, it may belong in the system.

A custom build can start small and expand after the first workflow is working. These are additional use cases dog training companies may need.

AI intake + programme matching

Collect the dog's history, goals and constraints, then prepare the right discovery questions and service options for staff review.

Progress assessments

Structured trainer scoring, milestone history and branded progress reports clients can understand and share.

Renewal + retention alerts

Flag inactive clients, missed homework, unused sessions and upcoming expirations before the relationship drifts.

Staff training assistant

Give employees searchable access to your SOPs, standards and approved answers with owner-controlled updates.

Seminar + event portal

Registration, prerequisites, digital waivers, schedules, media, attendance and post-event offers in one place.

Testing + certificates

Lessons, quizzes, practical submissions, pass/fail review and downloadable completion records.

Multi-location reporting

Compare leads, capacity, service delivery and client outcomes across branches without combining every user's view.

Client media library

Organise approved lesson videos, homework clips and feedback by dog, programme and training stage.

How a custom build starts

One useful workflow first. Then expand from proof.

The first version should solve a real operating problem, not try to become every piece of software in the company at once.

STEP 01

Choose the bottleneck

Where are clients, staff time or revenue falling through the cracks?

STEP 02

Map each user

Define exactly what the client, trainer and owner should see and do.

STEP 03

Build + test

Create the core workflow and test the handoffs before adding more features.

STEP 04

Connect + improve

Link the systems you keep, train the team and expand only where it helps.

Already use GoHighLevel?

Your application can sit alongside your existing CRM and use the right contacts, calendars, forms and follow-up instead of forcing a complete rebuild.

FAQ

Questions dog trainers ask about custom software

Straight answers about what we build and how it works with the tools you already use.

What is custom software for a dog training business?

An application built around how your company works: your clients, trainers, programmes and offers. Typical pieces are a client portal, booking, a trainer queue, an owner dashboard and follow-up, in one system instead of several disconnected tools.

What does a dog training client portal include?

One record per dog with goals, homework, session notes and progress, plus uploads for questions, photos and videos, booking with deposits, and offers for the next programme. Trainers see a single queue of what needs a reply.

Do I have to replace GoHighLevel or my current CRM?

No. The application can sit alongside your existing CRM and use its contacts, calendars, forms and follow-up, so you keep the tools you already use.

How can I automate my dog training business?

Start with the work that repeats or gets lost: intake, client follow-up, homework reminders, renewal alerts and publishing open boarding dates. Automate that one workflow first, test the handoffs, then add more.

Does AI replace the trainer?

No. When a client's question needs a person, it goes to a trainer's review queue. The software handles repetitive work and organises handoffs so trainers spend their time on judgement calls.

Who builds it?

Mike Leal, an Army Ranger veteran and NePoPo® Gold graduate who built North Shore Paws into a 5.0-star dog training business.

What should your business be able to do that it cannot do today?

Bring the bottleneck. K9PN will map the smallest useful application that can solve it first.
