Dog Trainers face unique challenges: Managing session packages (6-week programs, board-and-train timelines). Clients not doing homework between sessions — slowing progress and creating frustration. Tracking behavioral notes and progress per dog across weeks of training. Scheduling private sessions, group classes, and board-and-train simultaneously. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median dog trainer earns $40,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Training leashes, long lines, and slip leads is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Square is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
