6 Purpose-Built Components
Everything trainers need for group courses. Not retrofitted from 1-on-1 appointments.
Course Templates
Design multi-week programs once: 6-week Puppy Basics, 8-week Obedience, and more. Define lesson structure, duration, and capacity. Reuse templates endlessly.
Course Instances
Publish templates with real dates. "Friday Mornings starting May 31" becomes a bookable course with all lessons auto-scheduled.
Enrolment Management
Track capacity per course (12/15 puppies enrolled). Customers enrol and pay online. Waitlist management for full courses.
Lesson Scheduling
Lessons auto-schedule based on template recurrence. Weekly classes, bi-weekly sessions, or whatever your program needs.
Attendance Tracking
Mark which pets attended each lesson. Track completion rates. Identify at-risk students who miss multiple sessions.
Lifecycle Management
Courses progress through states: Upcoming → In Progress → Completed. Clear visibility of course status and progress.
Perfect for Group Training Programs
Whether you run puppy classes, obedience courses, or advanced training programs.
Puppy School
6-8 week programs with weekly lessons. Max 12 puppies per class. Attendance tracking for certification.
Group Obedience
Multiple skill levels running concurrently. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced, each with independent enrolment.
Specialty Programs
Agility, scent work, therapy dog prep. Flexible templates for any program structure.

Don't just take our word for it
“I am very excited and glad I went with them, the pricing structure makes sense and they are working very hard to make this the number one pet booking system in Australia. The customer service is out of this world, they focus on what animal businesses actually need and listen to their clients.”
Sacha
My Dogs Daycare, QLD
“Petboost has truly been a saving grace! As a platform that's actually all-in-one, it has streamlined so much, saving me time and reducing costs. One of the biggest time-savers has been the automated invoicing feature. I no longer have to chase clients for late payments or spend hours preparing invoices manually.”
Camille Hartnett
Trail Sniffers, NSW
“Just try it – you won't look back. The moment I turned Petboost on for my business, I never looked back. I haven't had a single missed payment or no-show. I no longer have to manually reconcile payments either. Now I can finally get time to do other things in my business instead of sitting in front of a screen for 'admin days'.”
