Your own app

Your dog school gets its own app

Your logo, your colours, your subdomain. The app is created automatically with your account, and your customers get in via a single link – no download, no app store search, and no need for you to have anything developed.

  • One link is enough – no download, no Apple or Google account
  • Optionally on the home screen with one tap, with your logo
  • Runs on phone, tablet and reception PC at the same address
  • Push notifications still possible

Why the app runs in the browser and not in an app store

For you, it comes down to a single number: how many of your customers actually end up using the app. Every additional step before the first booking loses some of them.

App from the store: your customers' journey

  • Open the store, find the right name, confirm the download
  • Apple ID or Google account needed – the password is rarely to hand
  • Needs storage space; installation fails on full or older phones
  • Some get stuck on an old version because updates are left pending
  • Not usable at all on the PC at reception

PfotenCard: your customers' journey

  • Tap the link – the app is open, even the first time on the training ground
  • No Apple or Google account, no password, no download
  • No storage problems, even on older devices
  • Everyone sees the same, current version – without anyone updating anything
  • The same address on phone, tablet and reception PC

To be honest: a web app doesn't appear in App Store searches. Your customers find it via your invitation link, a QR code on the training ground or the widget on your website – not by browsing the store. For a dog school with a regular customer base, that's no disadvantage in practice: anyone who comes to you for training gets the link from you anyway.

What your customers see

The app isn't just a display window – it takes over the tasks that would otherwise land on your desk.

  • Credit always visible

    Customers can see their current credit balance and every deduction at any time. Questions about how much is left answer themselves.

  • Book appointments themselves

    Courses and private sessions are booked directly in the app and cancelled according to your cancellation rules – around the clock, without checking with you.

  • Homework between sessions

    Videos, PDFs and exercises land directly in the app after training. Training continues between appointments instead of being forgotten.

  • Chat instead of a WhatsApp group

    Direct messages between trainer and customers, without sharing private phone numbers and without a data protection grey area.

  • Push notifications when training is cancelled

    Weather-related cancellations, rescheduled courses or last-minute free places reach everyone affected straight away on their lock screen.

  • Levels, badges, certificates

    Visible progress motivates. Levels reached, badges and automatically generated certificates of attendance keep customers loyal in the long term.

  • Invite friends

    With a personal link, code or QR code, customers invite friends – and are rewarded automatically when they become new customers.

  • Online courses and shop

    Take out a subscription, buy products and vouchers, or open an online course the trainer has attached to the homework – all in the same app.

Your own app in four steps

  1. Create an account and choose a subdomain

    You decide which name your app can be reached under – for example pfotenprofis.pfotencard.de.

  2. Add your branding

    Upload your logo, choose primary and secondary colours, set your own terms for levels and VIP status. The app applies it immediately.

  3. Activate modules

    You switch on calendar, chat, news, homework, shop, certificates and other modules individually. Only active modules appear for your customers.

  4. Invite customers

    Via invitation link, QR code on the training ground or widget on your website. Opening it once is enough; after that, the app is on the home screen.

Frequently asked questions about your own dog school app

How do I get my own app for my dog school?
With PfotenCard, the app is created automatically as soon as you set up your account. You add your logo, colours and your dog school's name, and your customers reach the app at your own subdomain, for example your-dog-school.pfotencard.de. You don't need any programming skills or technical background for this.
Do my customers have to install anything?
No. The app runs as a progressive web app directly in the browser: tap the link, done. No download, no Apple or Google account. Anyone who uses it often can add it with one tap via “Add to Home Screen” – then it sits next to the other apps with your logo and can send push notifications. On the other hand, your app won't appear in App Store searches. It's found via your link, a QR code or your website.
What exactly does white-label mean?
White-label means that the app appears in your dog school's branding: your logo on the home screen, your colours in the interface, your subdomain in the address bar. For your customers, it's your app, not a software provider's.
What do my customers see in the app?
Their current credit or card balance, upcoming appointments, bookable courses and private sessions, training reports with exercise progress, homework and training plans, chat messages, news from the dog school and – depending on the modules enabled – subscriptions, invoices, certificates, the shop, attached online courses and the referral programme's “Invite friends” page.
Does the app work without internet?
With the offline module enabled, the most recently loaded data stays visible, and actions such as completing homework or billing by staff are saved and synchronised automatically the next time there's a connection. On training grounds without signal, that's the decisive difference.
Does my own app cost extra?
The customer app is part of PfotenCard and included in all plans. Full white-label branding with your own logo and colours is one of the features of the higher plans; the details are on the pricing page.
