Makes running my dog training business easy
Great Customer Service and best option for dog trainers
Pros
Love the dog profiles, the ease of adding notes, scheduling, and adding dog birthdays!
Cons
Can't integrate with square invoicing, can't integrate course with thrivecart and my evergreen funnel so still am paying for a separate program for that.

Busy Paws has been an absolute game-changer for us!
We honestly couldn’t be happier with Busy Paws. They’ve transformed the way we manage things, and we’re so thankful for their excellent service and support!
Pros
First, their customer service is unmatched. Even at my most daft, the Busy Paws team is always there to help. I appreciate their willingness to schedule meetings to troubleshoot any issues, and their staff is incredibly kind and patient. Our entire team is so grateful for [sensitive content hidden]— they’ve made everything so much smoother for us!
Their plans are not only affordable but also incredibly robust. Busy Paws covers all of our needs — from scheduling and vaccines to contracts and so much more — and the value for the price is unbeatable.
Another standout feature is the ease of use. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, and if you do get stuck, helpful articles and videos guide you through. It’s made our whole process so much more efficient.
Busy Paws is also consistent — we’ve never experienced outages or communication issues. And they genuinely care. We’ve had a few minor emergencies, and they’ve been right there with advice and support, walking us through our mistakes to ensure our clients are impacted as little as possible.
Cons
We just want an app. The interface it too small on our phones in browser. We hear there may be an app coming!

BEWARE: LMS (online course creator) is incredibly misrepresented.
My overall experience with the CMS was good. The software has a lot of functions that save time and help me stay organized.However, the misrepresentation of the LMS is so disappointing that I would not recommend Busy Paws.
Pros
I like being able to create templates and automatic messages based on an event. They offer document management, so I can send multiple docs with one click.
Cons
Busy Paws advertises that the Learning Management System is comparable to "Kajabi or Teachable, built for dog trainers." This is misleading and FALSE. The LMS is nothing like Kajabi or Teachable.If you plan to use the LMS, look elsewhere. Pricing for Busy Paw's CMS and LMS is equal to or greater than Acuity tiers with any LMS (Teachable, Kajabi, Ruzuku, LearnWorlds, etc.), but they do not offer the same feature list. Instead, they offer a bare-bones WYSIWYG without the ability to add templates or columns, in-line images, or any formatting aside from text. No embedding or ability to open links in a new window.No ability to resize images. Images size to fit, so they are huge and grainy. No assessment features, quizzes, or surveys.There is no way to track courses. 'Courses Completed' is not accurate. I have to log in to the client to see the progress.No landing page or ability to preview courses. I must build a page from the ground up to showcase my courses. Then maintain it.The client must go through the onboarding process to sign up for a course. While the Client Management System features are great, the Learning Management System is seriously lacking and should not even be called an LMS.

Is Busy Paws the GOAT of training software? You decide -- I already have. YES!
My experience was and continues to be a good one. I am happy I found them early for my business and also early in their start as I have been a proud Busy Paws member since they were small, unique and wonderful. (Did I mention patient??) They remain wonderful, kind and patient as they grow.
Pros
the depth of the product and the thoughtful updates, and I have to stress the strength of their support for even the most repetitive and mundane questions.
Cons
The depth of the product..Ha ha. Meaning only that I love the depth and had to concentrate to learn how to navigate it, mostly because I wasn't as tech savvy as I imagined I was (key [sensitive content hidden] and then me doing a cartwheel with an awesome landing...). Most people who helped me got it quickly as I know you will! It's me, not you.

The monthly subscription made it possible for me to switch to BusyPaws!
I am very happy with my investment in BusyPaws. Once you get past loading and setting up all your packages and lessons, this software pays for itself by saving you so much time and money on multiple software subscriptions. Unlike other competitors that charge a lot more, BusyPaws' monthly subscription and affordable rates made it possible for my small training business to switch. I highly recommend BusyPaws for any small business looking to grow!
Pros
What I appreciated the most about BusyPaws is that their customer service is always willing to jump in when the chatbot is having problems answering your questions! I also love that they provide a very affordable monthly subscription.
Cons
The process of organizing my training sessions and packages. Although BusyPaws software is primarily intended for kennels and groomers, as a trainer, it took me some time to figure out how to utilize it for my business. However, the customer service has been incredibly helpful in assisting with troubleshooting!
