Dog Training Business Booking and Invoicing App (2026)
For a solo dog trainer, ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) sells the way training should be sold — a multi-session package invoiced up front or split into installments, with board-and-train and in-home sessions priced separately and a card on file for ongoing clients.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page. Tools were judged on the solo trainer's real workflow — package sales, installment plans, and card-on-file clients — not on class rosters or multi-trainer facility scheduling.
| Software | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| ShowTheReceipts That's us | $15/mo | Solo trainers: package sales up front or in installments, card on file, board-and-train priced separately |
| Wave | Free | Manual invoicing with no packages or automation |
| Jobber | $29/mo (Core) | Teams scheduling multiple trainers |
| Pet Sitter Plus | $30/mo | Recurring billing across a large client roster |
| Time To Pet | $40/mo | Pet businesses wanting client portals and session reports |
The solo trainer’s real workflow
Training is sold in programs, not appointments. Six-session obedience packages, board-and-train programs, in-home consults. Billing session by session is both more admin and worse outcomes.
Skip the facility software — class rosters and kennel management solve a building’s problems, not a trainer’s.

What to charge
Frequently asked questions
What does a solo dog trainer need from an invoicing app?
The ability to sell a package up front rather than session by session, an installment option for bigger board-and-train programs, and a card on file for clients who continue. Class rosters matter to a facility, not to a trainer working in people's homes.
What do I get with ShowTheReceipts for $15/month?
Quoting, invoicing, deposits, card payment, and one tax-ready ledger. Installment scheduling, card-on-file charging, and automated reminders are Pro-plan features at $39/month.
Why sell packages instead of single sessions?
Two reasons, and the money is only one. Paid-up-front packages stabilize your cash flow, and clients who've prepaid six sessions actually show up for six sessions — which is what makes the training work and generates the referral.
