Board-and-Train Software Built for Real Training Facilities
Pet Ops is built for board-and-train — the most demanding training workflow there is — combining training documentation, staff workflows, and client updates in one system that runs private lessons, virtual coaching, and group classes just as well.
Why This Breaks in Most Kennel Software
Generic kennel software treats training as an afterthought. Board-and-train requires structured documentation, progress timelines, and owner communication that standard booking systems cannot support.
Without purpose-built tools, training notes scatter across spreadsheets, notebooks, and memory. Owners ask for updates staff cannot easily provide. Progress becomes invisible.
Board-and-train is not boarding. It requires software built for long-stay training workflows.
How Pet Ops Supports This Workflow
- —100 GB included video storage: Upload full-session recordings, tag skill clips, and share owner updates without a separate video hosting bill
- —Long-stay tracking: Manage stays lasting weeks or months with structured timelines
- —Structured training sessions: Document individual sessions with goals, outcomes, and observations
- —Internal vs owner-visible notes: Keep trainer notes separate from what owners see
- —Daily or weekly summaries: Generate progress updates automatically from session data
- —Mobile-first staff workflow: Trainers log sessions from their phone during or immediately after work
Skill stages and homework assignments give owners a clear, structured view of progress.
Training Documentation That Shows Progress
Board-and-train is not day care. It requires visible, structured documentation that shows measurable progress over weeks.
Pet Ops builds timelines from training sessions. Owners see before-and-after narratives. Graduation summaries document what the dog learned and what the owner needs to maintain.
Documentation is not overhead. It is the product owners are paying for.
Built-In Client Updates Without Extra Work
Owners do not want generic status messages. They want photos, specific observations, and reassurance their dog is thriving.
Pet Ops makes updates part of the daily workflow. Add photos during sessions. Write short notes. Owners see everything in their timeline without staff making separate posts.
Fewer "how is my dog?" calls. More trust. Better reviews.
