APDT's 25th Annual Conference

Drop in Memberships - The New Age of Group Classes (Room A Ballroom)

19 Oct 18
8:00 AM - 8:45 AM

Tracks: Animal Learning & Human Learning

Whether you currently teach group classes or are preparing, to this session is for you. Traditional group classes are typically run with a specific number of clients and dogs for a set number of consecutive weeks. You are locked in with just that group in your time slot for that time even if people miss some of the classes. For your clients, if they miss a class they go two whole weeks without a training class so its challenging both ways. Everyone is so busy and trainers need to work diligently to make their training easy to access and having the option to drop-in is in high demand.

Offering your classes on a membership plan instead of consecutively is a simple and fast way to increase your revenue for your time spent teaching. Your clients can drop in at their convenience and it allows you to have more active clients at once so each class is increasing in numbers and dollars.
