What we built. When we built it.

August 28, 2026

Plenty of trainers run a daycare alongside the training and were keeping it in a separate diary. Now you split the day into parts people can book, take rolling bookings, and run the day off a live week board — check in, check out, print the roll. There are reports on the back of it, and a page you can put on your own site. Kennels, boarding and grooming are still deliberately not here.

August 28, 2026

Three things a daycare has to get right and a calendar cannot hold. A list of who is allowed to collect each dog, with how you know them, so it can be read out at the door. Care instructions with the real wording — “Apoquel 16mg, with lunch” — rather than a tidy field nobody fills in. And an incident record, for the day something goes wrong.

August 14, 2026

Sell an ongoing membership rather than only selling sessions. Set your tiers, choose what each one reaches, and clients join, move up, move down or leave. Products, homework and offerings can each be members-only, or left open to everyone — nothing is behind a door until you put it there.

August 25, 2026

A package bundles what you already sell into one thing someone buys in one go — three 1:1 sessions, a spot at an event, a couple of things out of your library. It gets its own card on your storefront and its own welcome email.

August 18, 2026

Put your terms or a waiver on a form and people sign it properly: a drawn signature, their typed name, and the wording exactly as it stood on the day. Until now those signatures existed but there was no screen that listed them — you had to know the id. Now there is a list, and every one of them downloads as a PDF.

August 28, 2026

Your classes, prices, hours and team are already in PupManager. Now they can be your website too — pages you build from blocks, on your own address, in your colours, with a blog and a checkout. Change a price in the app and the page changes with it. It is still bedding in; say the word if you want a look.

August 17, 2026

A casual class is a single session of a course, sold on its own — for the people who cannot commit to the whole six weeks, and the regulars filling a gap. It is its own switch, so you can sell casual sessions without running a fixed course at all.

August 5, 2026

Take a card payment by having someone tap it on your phone. No reader, no dongle, nothing to carry. We're switching it on business by business — say the word if you want it early.

August 5, 2026

A harness comes in Small, Medium and Large — each with its own stock, price and photo, instead of one line pretending to be three. Every change to a number is recorded with a reason, so when the count looks wrong you can see what happened to it rather than guess.

August 5, 2026

A client can put a class and a bag of treats in the same basket and pay once. And a sale over the counter is a real sale now — the stock moves and it lands in your figures, exactly like an online one.

August 5, 2026

Message a whole class at once, or any group you pick. Nobody has to be in a WhatsApp group with twelve strangers to find out the Tuesday class is cancelled.

August 5, 2026

Set up a run of casual sessions by picking a month instead of ticking 180 boxes. Skip one week without disturbing the other fifteen. And build next term whenever suits you, choosing the date clients start seeing it — so getting organised early no longer means putting it live early.

August 5, 2026

Some homework is preparation — bring a hungry dog and some chicken. Mark it as before-the-session and it reaches your client while it is still useful, instead of the evening after.

August 5, 2026

One word — puppy, reactive, agility — that reaches what you teach and what you sell, and groups any of your lists by it.

August 5, 2026

Someone fills in your enquiry form and goes straight through to becoming a client, without typing everything a second time. The help centre grew from 61 guides to 153 while we were at it.

August 5, 2026

Taking someone out of a class, or calling the class off, could leave the invoice behind — so it still read as owing for something that was not happening. Those now go together, and anyone who had already paid is left alone for you to handle. We also fixed two timing bugs that affected anyone outside UTC: homework could show a day early, and the weekly summary's “next week” could be a day out.

July 26, 2026

A one-off thing people buy a ticket for, with a capacity and a guest list. Not a course, not a 1:1 — the Saturday workshop that never quite fitted anywhere before.

July 4, 2026

Connect your Stripe account and send a payment link or an invoice straight from a session or a package. Clients pay on their own card, we never store the details, and every payment lands against the right invoice on its own.

July 4, 2026

Invoices you send and payments you take in PupManager now flow straight into Xero. No CSV exports, no double-entry, no Sunday-night reconciliation.

July 4, 2026

Sessions you book in PupManager show in Google Calendar, and what's on your Google Calendar shows in PupManager, so you never double-book yourself across two calendars.

May 9, 2026

Rebuilt /features around the real product: five categories, a card on the home page for each, and an honest /roadmap kanban. Added a 6-currency pricing page and a comparison post at /blog/duct-tape-stack. Privacy-conscious analytics and a cookie notice in place too.

May 8, 2026

Per-client threads now sit beside the dog's history, last session, and tonight's homework. Stop digging through three apps to find what Riley's mum told you.

May 8, 2026

Drag-and-drop form builder, embed on your site or share a link. New leads land in a triage inbox you can convert to a client in one click.

May 8, 2026

Auto-awarded milestones for first recall on cue, first month of consistency, graduation from a 6-week series, no extra admin from you.
