Five Delivery Models, One Training Core: When to Use Each

One Facility, Five Products

Operators sell immersive stays, weekly classes, drop-off day training, hourly privates, and async virtual coaching. Buyers evaluate each independently; your software should not fragment into five apps.

Model Guide

Board-and-train — weeks-long, kennel occupancy, go-home transfer, follow-ups.

Group class — cohort capacity, portal registration, weekly attendance.

Day training — weekday drop-off without overnight; station ops reuse.

Private lesson — scheduled sessions, staff-approved portal requests, rate cards.

Virtual coaching — practice upload loop, minimal facility surfaces.

Architectural Rule

Skill progress hangs off enrollment and pet — never kennel run state. Home trainer with two dogs/month uses same core as fifty-dog facility minus facility module.

Choosing What to Sell First

Facilities with boarding often add B&T then class. Class-heavy force-free practices may enter at puppy cohort and add privates later. Software should not force order.

Scenario

Org runs B&T, Puppy Foundations, and remote tune-ups. One skill library; three delivery models; owner sees one portal per pet.

Dog training facility software for overview; dog training class software for cohorts; boarding and training software for mixed facility ops.
