Free online booking and reservations for dog trainers
What you see. A sample dashboard, shown with a cleaning business's bookings.
What your clients see. The dog trainer starter page, before you change anything.
Pet-business platforms add invoicing, contracts and portals for teams. If you train one dog at a time, 1MinuteBooking books and sells your sessions, free.
Owners give the dog's breed, age, vaccinations and bite history as they book a phone consult, a session or day training. See the booking page
A 4-session package books the first session, and owners book the rest from their own link once it's paid for. How packages work
Board and train, longer rehab programs and service-dog work come in as quote requests with the dog's history and goals. How quote requests work
No add-ons to buy and no per-feature upgrades. Pro, at $10 a month, only adds your branding, your own domain, Excel export and analytics.
Clients pay a deposit or the full price by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay as they book, straight into your own Stripe account. How it works
Set a fee and drive time for each distance. The fee goes on the client's total, and the drive blocks your calendar. How it works
Clients get the date, time and address by email 24 hours before, or when you choose. How it works
A Manage booking button lets clients move or cancel up to a cutoff you set. You get an email for every change. How it works
When you mark a booking Completed, the client gets a Book again button with their last booking filled in. How it works
Every booking shows up in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar, and moves and cancellations update by themselves. How it works
Paste one line of code, and clients book or request a quote right on your site.

Trainers looking for software usually compare PocketSuite, HoneyBook and pet-business platforms. They add invoicing, contracts and client portals, which is useful if you run classes with staff, and more than you need if you train one dog at a time.
If you run group classes with several trainers, a pet-business platform fits better. For private training, 1MinuteBooking books your sessions and packages with the dog's details in hand. It's free, with no time limit.
Your booking page with 5 photos of your work, client reviews, bookings and quote requests.
Your logo, your own photos and colors, your own domain, Excel export and analytics, and no "Made with 1MinuteBooking" line.
Trainers running group classes with staff usually want a platform with rosters and contracts. A private trainer mainly needs intake questions about the dog, sessions and packages - 1MinuteBooking does that for free.
Yes. The 4-Session Training Package books the first session, and with Stripe Payments on, the package price can be charged before the request is sent, into your own Stripe account. Owners then book the remaining sessions from the link in their confirmation email, already paid for. How prepaid packages work.
Yes. Every booking asks the dog's breed and age and whether vaccinations are up to date, and park sessions ask which park. The quote form adds what they need help with, the number of dogs and whether the dog has ever bitten a person or another animal.
Yes - with location options. The Dog Trainer preset starts with "Our facility" (no charge), "Your home or a park - within 20 miles (30 km) of us" (no charge), "Your home or a park - 20-40 miles (30-65 km) away" (+$20) and "Your home or a park - more than 40 miles (65 km) away, we confirm first" (+$40). Change the names, prices and travel times, or add your own, under Settings > Locations. The drive time blocks your calendar but is never shown to the client.
Yes - Additional Dog (Same Household) adds $25 per dog to private sessions, puppy sessions, behavior consultations and the 4-session package, without adding time. On Day Training it's $25 a dog for every day booked.
Yes. Day Training (Drop-Off, Per Day) is on the starter menu at $75 a day: the owner drops their dog off at your facility, picks one day or up to 10 in a row, and every day uses the same drop-off time with pick-up by 5 PM. Each day holds its drop-off on your calendar and counts toward the 4 dogs you take a day, and the booking reads "Mon, Nov 16 - Fri, Nov 20 (5 days) - drop-off 8:30 AM, pick-up by 5:00 PM each day". Board-and-train stays need nights, which come with the pet sitting setup.
Yes - every booking asks "Has your dog ever bitten a person or another animal?" and the owner must answer: No, Yes - a person, Yes - another animal, or Yes - both. You see the answer before you confirm the time.
