Class enrolment
Puppy school, obedience, reactive dog and tricks classes with terms, capacity, age limits and online payment.
Dog training software: class enrolments & homework
Dog trainers: classes booked, homework actually done. Train dogs, not inboxes.
Enrolments come in by email, vaccination certificates get forwarded at 10pm, homework handouts end up in the dog's mouth and private sessions take twelve text messages to arrange. We build enrolment, homework and client systems for dog trainers that all talk to each other, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for dog training software that handles enrolments, privates and homework?
A dog training business is a puppy school, a private consulting practice and a coaching service rolled into one ute full of treat pouches and long lines. Classes fill by email and Facebook messages. Vaccination certificates arrive as blurry photos. Behaviour cases start with a forty-minute phone call. Then the real work happens between sessions, when owners are meant to practise and mostly don't because the handout went through the wash.
Wollopit builds custom dog training software around how you actually train. Owners enrol and pay online, upload vaccinations and fill in a behaviour questionnaire before you ever meet them. Homework lands on their phone as short videos they can tick off. You see which dogs are practising and which owners need a nudge. We connect the tools you already like and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to the dogs.
01The problems
What we hear from dog trainers
Does your dog training business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most trainers we talk to are brilliant with dogs and run the business from their phone between sessions. It works until a new term opens and forty enquiries land at once.
- The problemEnrolments by email and MessengerSomeone asks about puppy school, you reply with dates, they ask about price, then they go quiet. Half the class is only confirmed in your head.How we fix itOnline class enrolment with term dates, live spots left, payment up front and an automatic welcome pack.
- The problemVaccination certificates chased by handBlurry photos arrive the night before week one. Some never arrive at all.How we fix itVaccination uploads at enrolment with expiry dates checked and a reminder sent before the dog is due.
- The problemHomework handouts get lostA printed sheet goes home, lands on the fridge and the owner forgets what 'place' was meant to look like.How we fix itShort homework videos and simple steps on the owner's phone for every week of the course.
- The problemNobody practises between sessionsOwners turn up to week three having done nothing since week one. You end up re-teaching the same thing.How we fix itPractice check-ins owners tick off, gentle nudges when they go quiet and a view of who's actually doing it.

- The problemProgress is a guessYou know Biscuit has nailed loose lead walking but the owner can't see it and nobody remembers what week one looked like.How we fix itSkill tracking per dog with your notes, owner videos and a graduation report at the end of the term.
- The problemWaitlists on a notepadPuppy school fills, more enquiries roll in and the next term starts with you scrolling back through old texts.How we fix itWaitlists that offer spots automatically when someone drops out or the next term opens.
- The problemPackages and payments all over the placeSomeone bought five privates, used three and nobody's quite sure. Cash, bank transfer and card all mixed in together.How we fix itSession packs with balances, online payments and invoices that land straight in Xero or MYOB.
- The problemRain and venue changesRain hits the oval and you're texting every owner one by one.How we fix itOne-tap class messages by SMS and email for cancellations, venue changes and make-up sessions.
- The problemReviews and referrals left to chanceHappy owners mean to leave a review. Local vets would refer more if they knew exactly what you do.How we fix itAutomatic review requests at graduation and a referral form vets and rescues can use to send you new clients.

These are the systems dog trainers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Class enrolments
Term opens. Classes fill. You don't touch a thing.

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your dog training business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We come along to a class and a private, sit in on the office side, then work out what's actually eating your time.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your classes, terms, privates, intake forms, homework, payments, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually enrolments first, so you get a win before your next term opens.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things dog trainers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can owners log their homework practice?
Yes. Owners tick off practice from their phone and can upload a short clip for feedback, so you see progress before the next class.
Can it check vaccinations before a dog joins class?
Yes. Owners upload their certificate at enrolment. We record the expiry date and the class roll flags any dog that isn't cleared.
Can clients fill in a behaviour questionnaire before booking a private?
Yes. You set the questions and the questionnaire can be required before they see your calendar. Serious cases can be flagged for a call first.
Does it work if we train at parks and in people's homes?
Yes. Classes can run at any venue and home visits get travel buffers so you're not racing across town between dogs.
Do we have to switch from our current booking system?
No. If Acuity, Square Appointments or something else is doing its job, we build around it. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a dog training system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like class enrolments or homework videos can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most dog trainers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
