Make-Up Sessions Across Cohorts: Capacity-Checked Booking Rules

Make-Ups Are a Capacity Problem

"Come to any class" sounds generous until Saturday has twelve puppies and one trainer.

Policy First

Define: which sessions qualify, same program only, advance notice, max make-ups per series, extra fee or free.

Software enforces capacity; policy enforces fairness.

Cross-Cohort Booking

Make-up into another published cohort session decrements that session's effective capacity or uses parallel attendance rules — without double-counting the dog on two rosters same night.

Documentation

Attendance row shows makeup flag and source session. Owner portal shows updated plan.

Scenario

Owner misses week two illness. Desk books week three content in parallel Thursday cohort with open seat. Trainer sees makeup badge; ratio stays legal.

Platform

Dog training class software connects attendance to booking rules — not a side calendar.
