BookWhen Calendly is enough
A free call, and nothing else. If people only book a chat and you sort the rest out by message, Calendly’s free plan does that.
One kind of booking. The free plan has one event type. If you offer one thing, that’s all you need.
Your own questions. Calendly can ask your questions as people book, so you can hear about the dog first.

Built around the dog
What DogDesk does around the booking, made for dog training.
Meet the dog first. Switch on New dogs, and a dog you haven’t met can book only your free call or consultation.
A record of every dog. Its sessions, your notes, its homework and its training plan, in one place.
Homework after. Your notes and the dog’s homework go to the owner’s phone, and you see the steps they tick off.
Your terms, signed. Signed by hand on their phone as they book. You both get a copy by email.
Packages and programmes. Bought by card on your booking page.
Home visits. Only the postcodes you cover can book.
Biscuit
Ticking a step lets your trainer see how you’re getting on.
Moving across from Calendly
Your page goes where Calendly’s was. Your DogDesk booking page sits in your website the same way, or you share it as a link.
Your free call comes too. Make it one of your services, switch on New dogs, and new clients book it first.
Your calendar stays in step. Google, Outlook and Apple calendars sync.
I’ll set it up for you. Send me your services, prices and hours and I’ll add them.

Questions
You can, but you don’t need to: a free call can be one of your DogDesk services, and new dogs can be made to book it first.
No. They book from a link, and their homework opens on their phone without an app.
No. You keep everything less Stripe’s own fee, and you can take cash or bank transfer and mark it as paid.
Stored encrypted on servers in the UK, private to you, and never sold or used for ads. Card payments go through Stripe, so DogDesk never sees a card number.
One link, and everything after the booking.
