Custom lead generation for dog trainers, groomers and boarding businesses

K9PN builds custom lead generation systems for dog businesses in any service area, designed around your services and the kind of client you want more of. Every system is built for your business, not a one-size-fits-all lead list.

We build the lead engine and connect it to your CRM, so each new inquiry is captured, assigned and followed up automatically. You get dog owners who are actively looking for training, grooming or boarding in your area, and a private pipeline that shows where every lead came from and what happened to it. Add a K9PN website and CRM with local SEO and automated follow-up, and owners hear from you while they are still choosing. Want to be in the network? See the standards.

The K9PN trusted network

Vetted businesses in each state, not a paid list.

We are building a network of the most experienced trainers, groomers and boarding facilities in each state, and we hold them to the same eight standards.

Independent

No franchises or national chains. Local owners who answer for their own results.

Humane

Abusive handling or unnecessary fear or pain is disqualifying.

Certified and experienced

An applicable certification or a verified professional track record.

Reviews we read

Rating, volume and the patterns in recent reviews.

Client follow-up

We contact the clients we refer. Poor results get a business removed.

Living conditions

For board and train and boarding: clean, secure, safe and never overcrowded.

A written safety plan

Emergency, escape, bite and weather procedures.

Insurance on file

Current liability cover, checked every year.

Straight answers for dog owners and for dog trainers.

What is K9PN?

K9PN (K9 Professional Network) is a network of dog professionals. Dog owners use it to compare top-rated trainers, groomers and boarding and daycare facilities in their city. Trainers and other dog businesses use it to get leads, a website that ranks and a CRM that follows up.

How are businesses ranked?

Each city guide ranks businesses by public Google rating, weighted for the number of reviews so a long track record counts for more than a few five-star reviews. Listings are independent businesses and are not endorsements.

Does it cost anything to use?

No. You can see ratings, hours and phone numbers and call any business directly without signing up. If you send a quote request, we pass it to a local business that can help.

Which cities are covered?

Dog grooming and boarding guides cover major cities in Florida and Tennessee, dog training pages cover Tampa Bay and Knoxville, and the UK has dog trainer pages for 13 cities. More cities are being added. Lead generation for dog businesses is not limited to a state or city, because we build it around your service area.

Do you offer lead generation for dog trainers?

Yes. K9PN builds custom lead generation for dog trainers, groomers and boarding businesses, connects it to your CRM, and follows up on every inquiry automatically. Each system is built around your services and service area.

I own a dog business. Can I be listed or featured?

Yes. Every city guide has a claim-your-listing option and a featured position. Businesses can correct their details, or take the top spot and receive the quote requests the page generates.

Do you set up GoHighLevel for dog trainers?

Yes. We build a new GoHighLevel account, clean up the one you already pay for, and add the automations that follow up, book and remind. You don't have to replace the CRM you already use.

Can you teach me to become a dog trainer?

Yes. We show you what to learn, where to get experience and how to get certified, then set you up with the website, CRM and follow-up you need to start taking clients.

Do you work in the UK?

Yes. Dog owners can find a dog trainer in the UK, and UK dog trainers can get local leads, a website that ranks and a CRM that follows up.
