Proposal · the product, build & partnership

The app your puppy owners open every morning, built around your method.

This is the development half of the plan: what we learned from Puppr, how the app can be tailored to the way you train, and what it takes to build and maintain it. This proposal covers the product and build side, and Amanda's course strategy and content work can run alongside it.

The homework · we studied Puppr

Here is what we keep, what we do better, and what we skip.

Puppr is the right reference. It is polished, proven, and already shows what puppy owners are willing to use. The opportunity is that Peace Love Dogs has something it does not: real trainers, a real facility, and a $3M business to plug people into.

What we keep
  • Live trainer chat. Their strongest feature. Owners ask about potty training, anxiety, pulling, and real-life problems. For Peace Love Dogs, this is natural because your trainers are the product.
  • Lesson library, basics first. Puppy stage at launch, then adolescence, advanced training, and tricks over time.
  • Progress, streaks, and badges. The habit loop that keeps people opening the app and finishing.
  • A built-in clicker and quick-reference steps. So the phone is useful mid-session, not just when someone has time to watch a full course.
What we do better
  • Real video, delivered two ways. Your long-form lessons can be chopped into short, useful clips owners can replay one-handed.
  • The chat becomes a funnel. An overwhelmed owner can be offered a virtual session, a board-and-train path, a fly-to-Texas intensive, or the next right product.
  • Daily reminders with intent. Potty and training nudges tied to the puppy's actual stage, not generic push notifications.
  • Product picks that earn. Recommend the gear you trust at the moment it is needed, creating a second revenue line.
Why this app is different from Puppr

Puppr sells an app subscription. You have the chance to turn the app into a national front door for the $3M business you already run.

A puppy owner in Ohio buys the course, hits a wall at week three, and messages a trainer. That moment is where Puppr stops and Peace Love Dogs keeps going: a virtual session, a board-and-train path, a fly-to-Texas intensive, or the next right offer. The app feeds the business you already run.

01

They find you anywhere

A first-time owner downloads the app and starts the puppy course. No trip to Texas needed to become a customer.

02

They reach a real trainer

When they get stuck or overwhelmed, they can message in. The system also catches the owners who quietly stall and nudges them back.

03

They become a real client

Virtual session, board-and-train, in-person intensive, or product purchase. The high-ticket revenue you already earn can now be fed nationally.

How the million adds up

Priced against Puppr's real numbers, not a guess.

Puppr charges about $100 a year. So the app alone is a volume game, and the in-person upsell is the multiplier. These are illustrative paths, anchored to that real price point. The final model should be sized during discovery against your audience, offers, and conversion data.

App alone
~10,000
subscribers · $100/yr
Matching Puppr's annual price, the app by itself reaches $1M only at real scale. Possible with your reach, but a longer climb on its own.
Blended
~4,500
subscribers + product + tiers
A smaller subscriber base, plus product picks and higher-priced advanced courses. The app creates reach, while the catalog creates margin.
The multiplier
2%
of users → higher-ticket help
If even a small percentage of users book a virtual session, board-and-train, or intensive, that line can rival the subscription base. This is the real prize, and it is yours alone.

Illustrative models anchored to Puppr's published annual price. Your exact pricing, offer ladder, and conversion assumptions should be confirmed during discovery before anyone commits to final projections.

Live trainer chat

Puppr's best feature, and your most natural one. Real answers from real trainers, plus a bridge to your virtual sessions and in-person services.

Progress & badges

Owners see how far they have come, which keeps them motivated and consistent.

Product picks

Your trusted gear, recommended in context. A second revenue line that supports the training journey.

Built-in clicker

A small, useful tool that keeps the phone in hand during the actual training session.

Community (phase two)

Photo challenges, wins, and community moments once the core product is working and loved.

The part most courses get wrong

Most people never finish. We design around that from day one.

Most
people never complete the online courses they start. The ones who do finish are more likely to get results, leave reviews, tell people, and trust you with the next offer. So finishing is not a nice-to-have. It is the whole strategy.

They stall

Someone stops three lessons in. The GHL automation sees it the moment it happens.

The nudge fires

An on-brand message checks in: "Is the pup okay? Are you stuck? Here is the clip you need, or message a trainer."

We catch the overwhelmed ones

If they are drowning, that is the moment to offer a session, an intensive, or a more hands-on path. Help now, upsell naturally.

They finish, and they tell people

Completion drives results, reviews, referrals, and confidence. The retention engine becomes the growth engine.

How it is built, and why in this order

The highest level is not "most expensive." It is "most ownable, in the right order."

Puppr is a native app, so the instinct is to start there. We can absolutely take Peace Love Dogs to the App Store and Google Play. The smarter sequence is to launch the first working version as a mobile-first PWA: branded, installable, connected to GHL, and usable from a phone.

The PWA is not a placeholder. It is the first live app version customers can use from their phones. Once the product, content, and user journey are proven, we move into native release with a clearer scope and far less guesswork.

LaunchThe business engine

GoHighLevel backend

Payments, memberships, course hosting, emails, automations, segmentation, and owner follow-up. You already run GHL, so you own the customer journey and avoid adding another unnecessary platform.

LaunchWhat owners touch

Mobile-first PWA

A branded Peace Love Dogs app experience installable from the browser, with lessons, clips, reminders, progress, clicker, product picks, and trainer chat. This is the first customer-usable app version. Owners can access it from their phones before the native App Store release.

Phase 3

Native App Store release

Once the PWA is live, tested, and ready, we package the app for iOS and Android, prepare the App Store and Google Play assets, handle testing, submission, review, and native launch. Native release remains fully open as Phase 3 once the product is ready for the app stores.

Starting with a PWA keeps the first version faster, easier to update, and easier to connect to GHL, while still giving owners a mobile-first app experience. Native release remains fully open as Phase 3 once the product is tested and ready for the app stores. You own the account, the code, and the audience. We keep one admin seat to build, maintain, and grow alongside you.
The development engagement

Four phases. You know exactly what you get at each one.

PHASE 1
Product & Technical Discovery

The pre-research on the build side. This is where we turn the Puppr study into a concrete product spec and de-risk everything that follows.

  • Full Puppr teardown and feature decisions tailored to PLD
  • App spec: screens, flows, reminders, clip model, and chat model
  • GHL architecture and "Operation Puppy" segmentation plan
  • Video and content pipeline spec for monthly updates
  • Build roadmap, timeline, and final Phase 2 scope

one-time
PHASE 2
PWA Build & Launch

We build the first working app experience as a mobile-first PWA: branded, installable, connected to GHL, and usable from a phone. This is the version customers can start using before the native App Store release. The PWA is not a placeholder. It is the first live, customer-usable version of the app. This is not a runaway meter: most builds are expected to land within this 3 to 5 month window, with 5 months treated as the outer limit rather than the expectation, and you will have a working app experience on your phone during Phase 2, before the native App Store release.

  • GHL configured: hosting, tiers, checkout, automations
  • Mobile-first PWA: lessons, clips, reminders, progress, clicker
  • Trainer chat and the in-person upsell flow
  • Product picks and recommendation structure
  • Video pipeline: upload, chapter, clip, publish
  • Puppy-stage launch build
  • Testing, handoff, and launch support

per month · est. 3-5 months
PHASE 3
Native App Store Release

Once the PWA is live, tested, and the first user journey is working, we package the app for iOS and Android, prepare the App Store and Google Play assets, handle testing, submission, review, and native launch. This phase is not required to validate the product, but it is the clean path into the app stores once the app is ready.

  • iOS and Android release planning
  • Native wrapper and build preparation
  • App Store and Google Play listing assets
  • Testing and review support
  • Submission and launch support

PHASE 4
Maintenance & Growth

After launch, the project moves into maintenance, support, and growth. The exact monthly support level is reviewed as the app develops, based on user volume, support needs, content publishing pace, and the feature roadmap. The product is never finished, and "new training every month" becomes one of your strongest selling points. The $1,500 per month includes maintenance, automations, support, and publishing approved monthly content into the app. Heavy video editing, production, and raw footage breakdown are scoped separately or handled through Amanda's content track.

  • Maintenance, monitoring, and support
  • GHL automation updates and adjustments
  • Monthly content publishing support
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements
  • Feature improvements based on real user behavior
  • Ongoing optimization toward the $1M goal

This covers the product and build portion. The course curriculum, content coaching, and audience work can run on Amanda's track alongside these phases.

Where we go from here

Approve discovery, and we start before Katie's session.

Phase 1 is low-risk and high-clarity. It turns the Puppr study into a build-ready spec, so when Katie's content lands, we can move fast. From there, Phase 2 builds the first customer-usable app experience as a mobile-first PWA, with the App Store path open as Phase 3. Let's build the thing.

We have built complex operational apps before

A full custom app for an entire real estate brokerage, one of the messiest operations there is. A training app has a much cleaner product architecture.

We did the homework

We studied the actual product you pointed at, priced against its real model, and tailored every feature to where Peace Love Dogs can be stronger.

You own all of it

Your GHL account, your code, your audience. We earn the long-term relationship by being useful, not by holding your keys.
