STEP 3: The appointment

  • Select date and times.

  • If you want, you can select the employee or groomer who will do the service

    note: You can add more employees in Settings > Employees

  • You can add notes or comments if you want

  •      
  • If you offer this service: check if the service includes pick up and / or delivery at home

        
  • You can assign a color flag to the appointment if you wish to identify it more quickly



Color Flag:

You can assign a color to quickly identify a booking/check-in/service/... or a customer/animal/...
You choose the colors and how to use the color flags.

For example:

  • In my business there are special customers and I apply then different rates/prices. I use colors to identify them: friends, VIPs, partners, regular customers, ...

  • In my business, bookings must be paid in advance and I use a color to identify paid and pending bookings.

  • I use a color to identify problematic customers , who always cancel appointments or unpaid bills.

  • Some animals have a behavior or requirement and I want to identify them with a special color. For example to females in heat, to aggressive animals, to puppies, to animals that they need medication/surveillance.

  • In my hotel, I have few spare rooms and I am going to move animals to other rooms. I identify those check-in with another color.

  • In my pet grooming , we offer special services that require specific material and I identify them with a special color: for example the relaxation treatments are carried out in the "Spa" room. Or to determine the duration, difficulty or any other parameter I use special colors.

  • Or any other parameter that you consider interesting. It's up to you.




STEP 4: Rates or services

          

    You don't need to fill out more information to record an appointment.

        

    But if you want, you can fill in the information related to the services (course, behavior correction, show training, transport ...)

    • By clicking the Add button, you can include more services

    • The price or fee is automatically filled in.


      (You can configure the services and prices in the Configuration > Services option

    • Includes discounts of money in the different services. Just type the amount and select if it's a % or a quantity of money. For example 10 % or $10 discount.

    • The discount is applied and at the end of each line, you will see the base price (without taxes) with the discount already applied.

    STEP 5: Money advances

    If the customer pays money, add it in the Advances section and you will see that in the lower part the total money appears, the advances paid and the pending payment.



    STEP 6: Print documents and contracts

    All the documents that you have configured appear so you can print them and deliver them to the customer.
    For example, booking conditions, legal terms, requirements, stay contract, ...

    software pet trainer contracts and documents



    To add new Appointment or booking documents, go to the Tools > Documents option and select the type "Booking"


    STEP 7: The automatic scheduled reminders

    You can add automatic reminders so that on the selected day, the customers receives an email reminder of their appointment. These reminders are sent automatically, you don't have to send them yourself.

    send auto reminder customer pet school


    You can choose the day you want the notice to be sent, writing a custom date or using the date calculator. If you select 15 days before, the software calculates 15 before the date of the appointment and writes it in the date field. The same if you select 7, 3, 5 ... days before.

    (If you select, for example, to send the automatic reminder 7 days before, but there are 5 days until the appointment, logically it can only be scheduled to be sent 4 days before the appointment.)

    You can also select the time you want it to be sent from the Time dropdown. If the customer has several email addresses, you can choose which one you want to send it to.

    If you select the option "Send me a copy", you will receive a copy in your email.

    When you Save, these reminders will be scheduled to be sent on the selected date and time. They will appear here and in the option View> Automatic reminders.

    Reminders cannot be modified, but you can cancel the reminder and create a new one.

    If you change the date/time of the service, the reminders will not be deleted automatically . You can keep the reminders that you had scheduled or cancel them and create new reminders, as you prefer.

    For example:

    • The appointment was scheduled for day 23 at 10:00 and you scheduled an automatic reminder.

    • Now you change the appointment for day 23 at 12:00 (2 hours later)

    • The automatic reminder will not be modified because it was already programmed. In the email that the customer will receive, it will continue showing that the appointment is for day 23 at 10:00.

    If you want, you can delete that reminder and schedule a new one.

    dog trainer evaluation sessions and evolution


    For example, if you consider that 1 is the minimum and 10 is the maximum, if today Roko has evolved a lot, you would give her a 10 rating, while if she has done a job or average evolution, you could give her a 5 rating, for example. Similar to scoring on an exam.




    You can access this option:

    • From the option New > Session and evolution > Selecting the animal

    • From the option View > Courses > Selecting the course

    This option is perfect for selling a combination of multiple sessions (for example a package of 5 classes) or a course consisting of multiple sessions.

    On the other hand, if you are going to sell a single "class", education or training session, you have the option NEW > SERVICE.

    Before selling a course, you must configure it in the Settings > Services option. If you select Course: yes, when you save it, the Configure course option will appear.

    To sell a new course:

    • Select the customer and animals or add them if they are new

    • Select the course that you are going to sell (at least you must select one) and if you want to add any complement (for example pet transport service)

    • If the client pays a cash advance, for example to make a course reservation, you can write it down.

    • Click Save to finish

    • You can leave the course "unpaid" or Charge and invoice it.


    By selling the course, since you have a series of classes or sessions configured, you will be able to plan or schedule those sessions quickly and create automatic reminders for the customer. As many as you want, so they don't forget their appointments.


    You can also check this option from the animal's file, by clicking on the right menu > Courses option.
