Dog Training Software
Training programs, session notes, and report cards in one place.
Chartling runs your training business: private programs, play-and-train drop-offs, and board-and-train, and shares the dog's record with boarding, grooming, and (if you're a clinic) the medical chart.
Built for how trainers actually work
Program enrollment
Puppy, obedience, reactive dog, agility, board-and-train. Each program sets its session count, length, level, and price; enrolling puts every session on the calendar.
Session notes & homework
Skills worked on, a progress rating, mood, and homework per session, with an AI-drafted recap. Homework goes to the owner by email when you mark the session complete, and is kept in their portal while they are enrolled.
Report cards
Completing a session drafts a branded report card for you to review and add photos and video to. Owners see nothing until you publish it, and you can turn the drafts off.
Group classes
Set up a class with a capacity, a weekly schedule, and a roster. When it is full, the next dog goes on a waitlist and is offered the seat with a claim link when one opens. Take attendance once: every dog that came has its session completed, and the rest are marked no-shows.
Curriculum
Plan the lessons for each program once. Each session shows its lesson, and the homework is prefilled for you to edit before it goes to the owner.
Makeups & deposits
Choose whether a missed session earns a makeup, how many a client can use per enrollment, and by when. Collect a flat or percentage deposit on enrollment requests.
Play-and-train & packages
Schedule a program as weekday drop-offs or as a package every few weeks. Every session lands on the calendar in one step.
Owner portal & messaging
Owners see upcoming sessions, the lesson plan, homework and goals in the client portal and message you there, not on your personal phone.
Online enrollment requests
Owners request a program from your public page. Confirm from the requests inbox and enroll in one click.
Board-and-train
One enrollment creates the boarding stay too, on one combined invoice, with vaccines checked at intake and meds logged on the stay.
Flat price, unlimited staff
Trainers, assistants, and front desk all use it. No per-seat math.
Why trainers pick Chartling
- Recaps owners actually open. Homework lands in their inbox after every session you assign it; send a photo and video report card when there is something to show.
- No more spreadsheets for enrollments. Every dog's sessions, progress, and homework on one program page.
- Board-and-train without double entry. Training program and boarding stay share the same dog record.
- One subscription. If you add daycare or grooming later, no second software.
Frequently asked questions
What does dog training software do?
Dog training software handles program enrollment (puppy, obedience, reactive dog, board-and-train), session scheduling, progress notes, client billing, and owner communication. Chartling adds AI-drafted session recaps, branded report cards with photos and video, and integrated boarding for board-and-train clients.
Can I run private sessions and drop-off programs in the same system?
Yes. Each program has its own session count, length, level, and price. When a dog enrolls, the sessions land on the calendar in one step: on your default cadence, as play-and-train weekday drop-offs, or as a package every few weeks. Group classes run alongside private programs: a class has a capacity, a weekly schedule, and a roster with a waitlist.
Does it work for board-and-train?
Board-and-train is where Chartling stands out. The same dog has one record across training program, boarding stay, vaccine history, and report cards. No double entry.
