Ever wondered how you could set your human clients up to be more successful?

When I was first starting out as a trainer…

I basically created things – handouts, forms, contracts – as I needed them.

It was a bit crazy and it took a ton of time. AND it felt like I was doing it for ever single new client.

It wasn’t efficient. I wasted sooooo much time reinventing the wheel each time. And even worse…

My clients were confused about what the next steps were. Do they call? Do they email? When was I available for lessons? How do they schedule? I still cringe just thinking about it.

And I was a great trainer, but the disorganization and inconsistent experiences meant that I didn’t gather very many referrals or testimonials and my business didn’t grow as quickly as I had hoped.

So… needless to say… I GET IT. 

Fortunately, creating a consistent, organized, and SMOOTH client experience is possible and I’ve helped hundreds of trainers achieve it. 

The level of professionalism varies far and wide in this industry. As a dog trainer for over 10 years, I’ve seen many different parts of the spectrum and believe that one of the best ways you can differentiate your business from others is by being extremely professional and prepared.

Having the right forms, emails, and processes will demonstrate your professionalism and set your (human) clients up for success, but getting all the right paperwork together can be tedious and extremely time-consuming!

As a professional dog trainer, I know the kinds of questions you should ask all new clients, clients with aggressive or reactive dogs, what policies are important to a successful training plan, and how to welcome new clients by setting expectations immediately.

How would it feel to automate your new client emails so you can spend more time with your own pups? 

How would it feel to impress your clients with your process and gain new referrals and testimonials?

How would it feel to get more 5-star reviews from your favorite clients on Google and Facebook?

Isn’t it super frustrating when a client wants to schedule a lesson your only day “off”?

Don’t you hate it when you email a potential client and then never hear back until they are about to give the dog up?

It’s a pain wondering if the potential client ended up getting training somewhere else that you wouldn’t recommend…

A great new client onboarding process will set yourself up to be a better trainer and can lead to more referrals, better results, and happier clients!

I’ve been using your client forms that I purchased when I first started my business.  I really like them.  I’m grateful for all the time saved!! – Gina Zwieg

“I saw these a while back actually and at the time I had the crazy idea that I would actually have time to do all of this myself. Now that I’ve wasted tons of time throwing this stuff together for my clients and am down to just one day a week, I figured it was time to spend the money, and it was SO worth it! These are absolutely fantastic! Very well written and thorough! Other than putting in my business info, I didn’t have to change a word! They’re actually much better than anything I would have written anyway!? Thank you so much!”

FAQ About These Templates

Do I need these templates? 

Of course, you can make these yourself. However, are you willing to waste dozens of hours creating forms? It took me, a professional dog trainer of 10 years, over 50 hours to put this bundle together. You’d have to scour the internet, ask colleagues and wait for responses, and even then you may be forgetting a section with relevant questions.

I’ve worked with puppies all the way to aggression cases so you can trust that I’ve included all the most important questions in these templates and that the emails and welcome packet come with critical reminders for your clients.

What would happen if I didn’t write the forms correctly?

If you’re not asking the right questions on your intake forms or setting the right expectations, you could be leaving yourself vulnerable to a bite. With this bundle, you can be confident you’re providing the right information up front and asking the right questions by using proven templates.

How will these templates save me time?

Again, even with my 10+ years of experience as a dog trainer, it still took over 50 hours to put this together for you. No one was there to provide these templates to me when I was starting out so I’m doing it for other dog trainers that are starting out because I want to see more modern dog trainers become successful!

Do these templates include all the possible questions I would ask a client?

Truthfully, I’m sure you can come up with more questions, but these include the most relevant and important questions that top professionals in our industry use all the time.

For example, the New Client Intake Form being 7 pages long and the Reactivity Intake Form being 6 pages, each asking different questions. These questionnaires are already jam packed full of questions that are critical to know.

If you think of even more questions you’d like new clients to answer, you can easily edit and add to them since these are MS Word documents.

Can I customize them to my branding or add to them as I like?

These MS Word templates are easy to edit and customize. Every template comes with minimal styling to make it easy for you to edit for your needs and your brand.

Save hours of your time by only spending it on some more important parts of getting your business started.

Why can’t I just make them as I go? 

If you’re not prepared when a new client calls you, you risk losing them as a client. The time it could take you to write these forms, emails, and welcome packet could be long enough for them to find another trainer to work with or decide now just isn’t the right time for dog training. Timely follow up is critical to getting new clients.

With this bundle, you’ll provide your new client with important information up front which will reduce the amount of time you’ll spend answering frequently asked questions and make you look like a true professional

This added professionalism to client interactions will lead to more satisfied clients. More satisfied clients can lead to more referrals.
