Stop Sending New Training Clients to Voicemail
You're in the middle of a session — leash in one hand, treats in the other. The phone rings. It's a stressed-out dog owner who needs help now. You can't pick up. They call the next trainer.
Cira is an AI receptionist for dog trainers and behaviorists. It answers every call and text 24/7. It asks the right questions about the dog and the problem, explains your programs, and books discovery calls and first sessions — so you can keep training, not chasing the phone.

You Can't Train a Dog and Answer the Phone
When you're working with a dog, the phone still rings — and a lot of those calls are owners who need help and are ready to start.
Owners hire the first trainer who picks up
When a dog is acting up, people want help fast. The trainer who answers gets the client.
Discovery calls eat your training time
Every new owner wants to explain what their dog is doing. That's a 10-minute call you can't take with a dog on the leash.
A front desk person costs $30,000+ a year
Most solo trainers don't have one. So calls go to voicemail — and voicemail doesn't book sessions.
Your day is sessions, classes, and dogs
You're hands-on with dogs all day. Every ringing phone is a client you can't talk to right now.
The trainer who answers the phone books more clients — every time.
The Math
One Missed Call = A Client You'll Never Hear From Again
A training client isn't one session. They sign up for a package, come back for the next level, and tell other dog owners. One client is worth $600-1,500, and the good reviews bring more.
Miss just 3 discovery calls a week and you could be losing $60,000+ a year in training packages.
Cira costs less than one private session. One new client pays for the whole year.

How It Works
Answer, Ask, Book — All on Its Own
Cira picks up in 2-3 rings. It sounds like a friendly person who works with you.
Answers Every Call
Day or night. Cira greets callers with your business name and asks about the dog — breed, age, and what's going on.
Takes the Intake
Cira asks the questions you'd ask: how long the behavior's been happening, what's been tried, and whether there's any biting or reactivity. It writes it all down so you walk into the first session ready.
Books the Right Program
Cira explains your options — puppy classes, private lessons, board-and-train — and books the discovery call or first session on your calendar. Then it texts to confirm.
Every Call Captures
What This Means for Your Training Business
Book Every Lead
Someone calls about a reactive dog while you're in a session. Cira takes the details, explains your programs, and books the discovery call — instead of losing them to voicemail.
Get the Intake Before Session One
Cira asks what you need to know — what the dog's doing, how long, what's been tried, whether there's a bite history. You show up to the first session already knowing the case.
Explain Your Programs
Group classes, private lessons, board-and-train, packages — Cira knows what you offer, who each one is for, and roughly what it costs, so callers get a real answer instead of "someone will call you back."
Answer the Common Questions
"Do you work with aggressive dogs?" "How many sessions will my puppy need?" "Do you do board-and-train?" Cira answers from your notes — so owners get help, not a voicemail beep.
Catch Texts and After-Hours Calls
People look for a trainer at night, right after the dog did something. Cira answers like a person — questions about programs, prices, and where to start — and books the call by text or phone when you can't pick up.

FAQ
Common Questions
- Can Cira book sessions on my calendar?
- Yes. Cira connects to your booking system, sees what's open, and books the discovery call or first session — with the right program — while you're with a dog.
- Will Cira take a real intake?
- Yes. Cira asks the questions you'd ask: what the dog is doing, how long it's been going on, what's been tried, breed and age, and whether there's any bite or reactivity history. You get the notes before the first session.
- Can Cira explain my programs and prices?
- Cira answers from your notes — what each program is, who it's for, how long it runs, and roughly what it costs. For anything that depends on the dog, it says you'll go over the details on the discovery call.
- Can Cira handle calls about aggressive or reactive dogs?
- Yes. Cira follows the rules you set — it gathers the history, flags a bite record, and books the right kind of consult or routes the call to you. It never gives training advice or promises a result; that part is yours.
- What about owners who just want quick advice?
- Cira can share general info you've written down, but it won't coach anyone over the phone. For real training questions it books a session or takes a message so you can follow up.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes. No contract, no fees, month to month. Most trainers keep it once they see the extra clients.
