HeelHub is dog training in three spaces: Clients, for a trainer and their clients; Everyday training, for your own dog — with a trainer or on your own; and Sport, for dog sport with your team. No marketplace, no public feeds. FOR DOG OWNERS • Start on your own: daily practice and a diary for your dog. When you train with a trainer, enter their code and your dogs come along. • See your trainer's real availability and book a free slot — held until they confirm. Say where, move or cancel in a tap. • Know what's coming: the plan, what to bring, your "To discuss" list. • At the session: open it live from Home — the plan, your topics, a photo or video, a question by voice. One tap says how it went. • Read the lesson summary after each session — in your language, with photos and videos. • Short daily reads with videos, and quizzes built from what you've been taught. • Practise at home: today's tasks, repeating reminders and a streak. Film a try or note how it went — your trainer gets it as one report. • Chat with your trainer: photos, videos, voice messages, replies and reactions. • Group sessions, forms from your trainer, a dog journal and progress over time. • Every dog in the family on one profile — free for owners. FOR TRAINERS • Publish your usual week, change any date ahead; clients request only slots you offer. Approve, decline, move or cancel in a tap. • Your public page: one link with your profile, places, rates and open times, and a business card with its QR. New clients ask for a session there, no account needed. • Plan in points and share it in a tap, with a what-to-bring list. • Run the session live: tick the plan, write or record notes and home practice, take a photo or a clip, wrap up in one step. • Write the lesson summary after: notes, theories, photos and videos, one Publish — AI only if you want it. • Group classes: one session for several dogs — shared plan and summary, one credit per dog. • Your own library of daily reads in each client's language, and quizzes from what clients were taught. • One chat per client: photos, videos, voice messages. Write first, or draft with AI from your points and check it before you send. • Practice reports, forms your clients acknowledge, clients, dogs, sessions, places and journals in one place; invite with a code. • Fair pricing: first month free, then one-time credit packs — one credit per accepted session, refunded if cancelled. SPORT, WITH YOUR TEAM • Search and rescue (IRO), the utility dog (IGP) and Mondioring, under their official rules. • Join your team with a link. Trainings with who is going, organisers and what each of you works on. • On the field: log runs and finds, score each exercise with a note, film and tag a team-mate, keep private notes. A team chat. • Your dog's log with PDF and CSV export, readiness for the next exam, and exams with their judges and certificate. • The rules in plain words, every exercise with a to-scale drawing, and the official rulebook inside the app. • Report or block anything a team-mate shares. • Reading Sport is free. Logging, scoring and planning take the Sport subscription — monthly or yearly, first month free, through the App Store, renewing until you cancel. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no ad tracking, never sold. Between a trainer and a client, photos, videos and messages stay within the pair; in a group, owners see other dogs by name only. In Sport, what you share at a training is seen by your team, and private notes by you alone. A voice note or message exists only when you record one. ALSO NICE • iPhone and iPad, light and dark mode. • 15 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. • Notifications for requests, messages, plans, summaries, reports, trainings and reminders.
