Our story
Built for one dog trainer.Now built for yours.
PupManager started as a fix for one person’s impossible week — my wife’s. One tool that knows you’re a dog trainer, not a duct-tape stack of five that don’t.
Karl & Brooke · a two-person team, one very involved dog
Why this exists
My wife Brooke is a brilliant dog trainer — the kind clients drive across the country to book. Running the business was the hard part: a booking app, Stripe, a Notion doc per client, a spreadsheet, and Mailchimp, all held together with text reminders.
The worst part wasn’t the lost hours. It was watching her come home stressed about the admin — not the dogs.
The dogs were doing brilliantly. She was stressed because the admin ate the time she needed for the people — the video she meant to send Tuesday, the mid-week check-in, the progress summary the client deserved. None of it was getting done.
So I built PupManager. One place for:
- The schedule, recurring sessions, and reminders
- Homework and the video she shot on the spot
- A client app themed to her business — her clients actually open it
- Progress every owner can see for themselves
Follow-up now takes ten minutes, not an hour. It worked for her — then her trainer friends asked when they could use it too. We’re a small team: we ship fast, answer our own email, and stay out of the training-method arguments. Have a look at everything it does or how it’s priced.
