Built only for dog trainers

Generic software has to be taught your business. HQ already knows it.

Most CRMs were built for every kind of business, so you spend weeks bending them around evaluations, programs and owner updates. HQ starts where you already work: an inquiry, an eval, a training plan, a signed agreement and a happy owner.

Generic software

Has to be taught:

  • “What's an evaluation?”
  • “What's a board-and-train?”
  • “Where does the training agreement go?”
  • “How do I send the owner an update?”

Bark Buddy HQ

Already has:

  • Eval Proposals
  • Board-and-train and training agreements
  • Session tracking
  • Pupdates for owners

The real problem

You don't have a training problem.

An inquiry comes in while you're working with a dog. You mean to reply. Then the next client pulls up, a leash needs adjusting, and the message sits.

Contracts, follow-ups and owner updates wait until night. By the time you get to them, some of those leads have gone quiet, and next month starts to look thin.

The gap isn't your training. It's everything between the inquiry and the booked evaluation.

The missing middle

  3. 3Book the eval

Where leads slip when you're busy with dogs.

One place, end to end

From first inquiry to happy owner, in one place.

01

Know which inquiries need your attention

Every lead lands in one pipeline with its stage, so you can see at a glance who's new, who's waiting on you and who's booked.

02

Keep follow-up moving while you're working with dogs

Automated texts and emails, and missed-call text-back on Growth, reply for you so leads don't go cold mid-session.

03

Spend less of your evening writing training plans

Eval Proposals, agreements and Pupdates start from templates built for dog training, so the paperwork takes minutes, not your night.

  1. Inquiry
  2. Instant follow-up
  3. Booked evaluation
  4. Eval Proposal
  5. Contract + payment
  6. Pupdates

See it in action

Watch HQ run a lead from inquiry to Pupdate.

Agency power, fraction of the cost

The power of an agency, in your hands.

Three ways to get leads booked. Only one is built for dog trainers and leaves you owning everything.

Hiring an agency

Done for you, at a cost.

  • Retainers that are often thousands a month
  • Your ads and data often live in their accounts
  • Changes wait on their schedule
  • Someone else runs the campaigns

Patching tools together

Cheap, until it isn't.

  • Lower cost per tool
  • Nothing talks to anything else
  • You set up and run everything yourself
  • Generic, so you teach it your business

Bark Buddy

Who built HQ

Built from running dog-trainer marketing every day.

Bark Buddy has spent years doing one thing: marketing for dog trainers. We've managed $700K+ in ad spend and helped generate $5M+ in revenue for 50+ dog trainers, and we've watched where leads get lost between the ad and the booked evaluation.

HQ is the system we built to close that gap: the same follow-up, booking, proposals and owner updates we run for our clients every day, now in your hands.

Our Growth guarantee

Your first ads, live in 7 days.

We help you launch your first campaign within 7 days of connecting your ad account, or your next month of HQ Growth is free.

FAQ

Straight answers.

I'm not good with technology.

You don't need to be. Growth includes guided setup: we set up your site, booking page, business number and follow-up with you. Day to day, HQ is one screen built around the things you already do, like answering inquiries, booking evals, sending proposals and updating owners. Starter and Growth also include weekly group office hours if you get stuck.

I already have software.

HQ is meant to replace the pile: lead tracking, scheduling, contracts and e-sign, payment requests, business texting and email, and owner updates. Your Facebook and Google ad accounts stay yours and connect to HQ's Ad Manager. If there's a tool you rely on, ask us before you switch and we'll tell you straight whether HQ covers it.

I tried marketing before and it didn't work.

With HQ you see every lead and what happened to it: when it came in, who replied, whether the eval got booked. On Growth we help you launch your first ads, with realistic expectations. Results depend on your market, offer and budget, and we don't guarantee revenue.

Can I start free?

Yes, for a limited time. Free gives you HQ's core tools with 5 uses each, one time with no reset: 5 Eval Proposals, 5 Pupdates, 5 contracts on the Bark Buddy default agreement, and 5 uses of every AI tool (lead replies, social posts and the Sales Call Simulator), plus 3 ads with the Ad Generator. Lead pipeline, clients and dogs, PawPad and e-sign are included. Custom contract templates aren't. Texting and Inbox, a business number, booking calendar, automated follow-up, your website and Ad Manager come with HQ Growth.

What does Growth cost?

HQ Growth is $497/month plus a one-time $497 setup, so your first payment is $994. If you run ads, ad spend is paid directly to Facebook and Google and is separate.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: on HQ Growth, we help you launch your first campaign within 7 days of connecting your ad account, or your next month of HQ Growth is free (see guarantee terms).

Do I own my accounts?

Yes. Your ad accounts stay in your own Facebook and Google business accounts, and your leads and client records belong to your business.
