KADEPAY FOR DOG TRAINERS
You can teach a reactive dog to settle in a busy parking lot, but chasing a client for session four is a different skill. KadePay sells lesson packages, takes board-and-train deposits and installments, sends waivers with vaccine uploads and keeps in-home sessions on one calendar with each client's address.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Trainers sell progress over weeks, and the money side often lags behind the dog. These are the payment and paperwork moments trainers raise in their communities, and how KadePay keeps them simple.
A client pays $95 after each session, skips two weeks when life gets busy, and the dog loses the progress you built together.
With KadePay
Sell lessons as dog training packages, such as six private sessions for $540, paid up front. Record each session as you teach it, and your package terms, signed as a form, cover expiry and missed sessions.
Packages and sessionsThe dog has lived with you for two weeks, the $2,800 balance is due at pickup, and the owner asks if they can pay half next month.
With KadePay
Collect a deposit when you confirm the dates, then agree a payment plan with a set number of installments from the client's saved card, finishing before pickup day. Pickup stays about the handoff lesson, not the money.
Payment plansYou need a signed liability waiver and current vaccines before a dog joins a group, and half the paperwork shows up at the first class.
With KadePay
Send your dog training waiver and intake questions with a vaccine record upload. Clients complete and sign them on their own phone, and everything stays with their profile before the first session.
Forms and signaturesTuesday is three different neighborhoods, and the address, the gate code and the dog's triggers live in four different places.
With KadePay
Each appointment can carry its own address, and private notes hold the gate code and what sets the dog off. Clients never see those notes, so you can write them plainly.
Appointment bookingA client forgets the 6 PM session, you already drove twenty minutes, and that hour cannot be sold again.
With KadePay
Automatic appointment reminders go out before every lesson. With a card the client authorized and a signed cancellation policy, you can charge the fee that policy describes, or deduct the session from the package as your terms say.
Card on fileHow it fits your week
A dog owner requests a behavior consult or evaluation from your website link. You confirm it, and the visit is set at their home or your training field.
They sign your waiver, answer your intake questions about the dog, upload vaccines and buy a lesson package or pay the board-and-train deposit.
Each session is booked on its own and recorded against the package. Homework videos and handouts go into a shared Gallery folder for the family.
For a two-week stay, installments come from the client's saved card on the dates you agreed, so the balance is settled before graduation.
Sell a follow-up package for continued lessons, or share a link for a weekend workshop with ticketed QR check-in at the door.
Every way your clients pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same client record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for dog trainers
Most trainers sell outcomes, not hours, which is why dog training packages work so well. A client who prepays for six lessons tends to show up for six lessons, and you can plan your week around them. A dog trainer invoice after each session invites the gaps that set training back.
Board-and-train is the biggest ticket in most programs. A dog training deposit when the dates are confirmed and a board and train payment plan that finishes before pickup keep the handoff about the dog. Puppy class payments work the same way, sold as a package of weekly sessions.
Paperwork matters because dogs meet other dogs. A dog training waiver, a dog training intake form with behavior history and a vaccine upload belong with the client record before the first session, signed on a phone rather than a clipboard on a windy field.
If you mostly do in-home dog training, a dog trainer booking app needs addresses on every appointment and notes only you can see. KadePay gives you both, with requests you confirm rather than surprises on your calendar. Tap to Pay on a compatible phone covers the client who wants to pay in the driveway after the lesson.
CLEAR ANSWERS
The best fit sells packages, handles board-and-train deposits and installments and keeps waivers with each client. KadePay does those, plus in-home appointments with their own addresses, Gallery folders for homework and Tap to Pay on compatible phones for payment at a session.
Confirm the dates, collect the deposit by link, then agree a set number of installments with the client, collected from their saved card or bank account. A $3,000 two-week program might be a $500 deposit and two payments of $1,250, finishing before pickup.
Packages tend to keep clients consistent because the lessons are already paid for. In KadePay, sell a package of six or ten lessons, record each session as you teach it, and book each lesson separately. Put expiry and missed-session rules in a signed form so they are clear from day one.
Yes. Build a form with your waiver, intake questions and a vaccine record upload. The client completes and signs it on their own phone after signing in, and the responses stay on their profile, ready before the first lesson.
Create a ticket link for the workshop, set the price, and share it in your bio or newsletter. Each attendee gets a ticket with a QR code that you check in at the door. KadePay does not assign seats, so plan your room and dog spacing the usual way.
Pay-As-You-Go starts a training business at $0 per month, with payment and usage fees on each payment. Assistant trainer logins, recurring billing and vanishing bills are part of Team at $10 per month and Pro at $35 per month. The pricing page lays out each plan.
