# AI Receptionist for Dog Trainers: Book Consults Source: https://insertchat.com/industries/dog-training > Explain classes and private lessons, book evaluations, and send bite and aggression cases to a trainer. An AI receptionist for dog trainers answers calls, texts, website chat, and email while you’re teaching, using your programs, prices, and policies. InsertChat’s assistant explains puppy classes, group obedience, private lessons, and board-and-train, records each dog’s age, breed, and behavior goals, books evaluations, and sends aggression and bite cases to a trainer. ## Turn a leash-pulling call into a booked evaluation Example workflow: Phone call. Illustrative scenario. Answers depend on your sources; actions depend on your connected tools and permissions. This is not a customer testimonial or measured result. An owner calls on a weekday evening while you’re teaching a group class in the yard. > Our eight-month-old lab, Cooper, pulls so hard I can’t walk him, and he jumps on everyone. Do you do group classes, or does he need private lessons? ## Explain the programs Describe your group obedience course and private lessons as you wrote them, with prices, class length, and the vaccines you require. ## Record the dog’s details Note Cooper’s age, breed, and goals, and ask whether he has ever growled, snapped, or bitten, as your intake asks. ## Book an evaluation Offer evaluation times from your schedule and book the one the owner picks, so you can place Cooper in the right program. ## Your team sets the boundaries Dogs with a bite history, aggression toward people or dogs, or severe fear go to a trainer for a call back. The assistant never gives behavior advice beyond the guidance you publish. ## What it handles for dog trainers Handled by your assistant: - Puppy, obedience, and advanced class questions with dates and prices - Private lessons, day training, and board-and-train programs you offer - Vaccine, age, and equipment requirements for class - Evaluations and consults booked on your calendar - Class makeup, cancellation, and package policies - Location, parking, and what to bring to the first session Sent straight to your team: - Dogs with a bite history or aggression toward people - Dog fights or injuries during class or board-and-train - A dog that is sick or hurt while in your care - Complaints and refund requests - Sudden behavior changes or signs of pain that belong with a veterinarian ## What it asks and what it needs to know Details it collects: - Owner’s name, phone number, and email - Dog’s name, breed, age, and weight - Behavior goals, from leash pulling to recall - Any growling, snapping, or bite history - Vaccination status your classes require - Preferred format: group, private, or board-and-train - Days and times that work for training What to add to its knowledge: - Each program with its length, price, and age range - Upcoming class start dates and schedules - Vaccine and spay or neuter requirements - Equipment rules, such as which leashes and collars you allow - Package, makeup class, and refund policies - Your training approach in plain words ## Can an AI receptionist book dog training evaluations? Yes. Set up an evaluation or consult as an event type in Calendly or Cal.com, or as an appointment on InsertChat’s calendar, with the length and buffers you need. The assistant asks your intake questions first, then offers open times and books the one the owner picks. Evaluations it books can get a reminder by text or email 72 and 24 hours before. ## What does it do with aggression and bite cases? It records the history and puts the case in front of a trainer. The assistant asks what happened, how often, and whether anyone was hurt, then tells the owner a trainer will call back and reads the interim safety guidance you wrote, such as keeping the dog away from visitors. It never diagnoses behavior or suggests a plan, because that call belongs to you. ## Can it enroll owners in group classes? It answers class dates, prices, and requirements, then records the enrollment request with the dog’s details for your team to confirm. Class rosters and payments stay in your own system. When a class is full, add a line saying so and the assistant offers the next start date or a waitlist request instead. ## How much does an AI receptionist for dog trainers cost? Pro is $98 a month, about $3.27 a day, for one phone number, monthly credits, three team seats, and three AI assistants. A solo trainer can run one assistant across classes, private lessons, and board-and-train. Calls round up to whole minutes. New customers can try Pro free for 7 days with 500 credits, card required. ## Will it give training advice over the phone? Only what you publish. If you add tip sheets, such as puppy biting basics or crate training steps, the assistant shares them. Anything about a specific dog’s behavior is saved for a trainer, who calls the owner back with advice for that dog. ## Can it answer while I’m training at a client’s home? Yes. Have your phone ring for 5 to 60 seconds first, and the assistant picks up when you don’t. You can also send every call to the assistant during class hours and have it ring you after. ## Does it connect to dog training software? No. InsertChat doesn’t connect to training or kennel software. Evaluations and lessons can go on InsertChat’s calendar, Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, or Cal.com, and anything else is collected for you in the shared inbox. ## Can owners send vaccine records or photos of their dog? Yes. Owners can attach a vaccine certificate or a photo in your website chat, and it stays with the conversation on their contact. Pictures sent by text go to a person on your team, so you can check the paperwork before the first class. ## Can I keep my training business number? Trainers in the US and Canada keep their number and forward calls to InsertChat, confirmed with a verification call. Elsewhere, use a local or toll-free InsertChat number where available. Number porting is not offered. ## Related features - [Scheduling](https://insertchat.com/product/scheduling) - [AI receptionist](https://insertchat.com/product/phone) - [Knowledge & answers](https://insertchat.com/product/knowledge) ## Broader industry - [Pet services](https://insertchat.com/industries/pet-services): Book grooms, evaluations, and stays, answer pet store questions, and send hurt or sick pets to staff.
