Getting to know your dashboard

Your Pawgress dashboard is the command center for your dog training business. It provides at-a-glance information about your clients, pets, upcoming sessions, and business performance—all designed to help you stay organized and focused on what matters most.

The Setup Guide

New accounts open with a Set up your training business card at the top of the dashboard. It’s a short checklist — add your first client, add their dog, write a report — with a progress bar showing how far along you are. Most trainers finish it in under five minutes. Dismiss it with the X in the corner once you’re done. If you want it back, use the Show setup guide link in the dashboard header.
