DogTrainers-Setup-1.0.0.exe.
That's normal. Microsoft displays it for any installer with a young reputation, even when properly signed.
To proceed: click More info, then Run anyway.
The installer is digitally signed by LaunchWizard, LLC, the legal entity behind AppKatz Software. You can verify the signature in the file's Properties → Digital Signatures tab before running it.

Dog Trainer is a Windows desktop CRM and business management application built for professional dog trainers and training studios. Dog Trainer tracks clients with full dog details (breed, age, weight), schedules five class types (Private, Group, Puppy, Behavioral, Agility), processes payments via Cash, Card, and Check with Stripe integration, generates business reports, and exports data to CSV.
Dog Trainer costs $20 as a one-time purchase from AppKatz Software. The $20 covers a permanent license, unlimited clients, unlimited class scheduling, full payment tracking, business reporting, CSV export, and installation on the user's Windows PC. Dog Trainer charges no monthly subscription, no per-class fee, no per-trainer fee, and no annual renewal.
Yes. Dog Trainer offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. The trial activates unlimited client and dog profiles, scheduling for all five class types, payment tracking, dashboard analytics, business reports, CSV export, and the full task management system. After 14 days, the user can purchase a $20 lifetime license or stop using Dog Trainer with no charge.
Gingr charges $75 to $200 per month. GoodPup charges $59 to $149 per month per trainer. DogBiz software starts at $35 per month. Dog Trainer costs $20 once. Dog Trainer runs locally on Windows and covers client tracking, multi-class scheduling, payment processing, and business reporting without monthly fees that scale with trainer count or class volume.
Yes. Dog Trainer ships as a code-signed Windows installer verified by DigiCert. The DigiCert signature confirms that AppKatz Software (operated by LaunchWizard, LLC) published the installer and that the file has not been altered. Code-signed installers do not trigger Windows SmartScreen warnings. Dog Trainer stores all client and class data locally and processes Stripe payments through PCI-compliant infrastructure.
Dog Trainer supports five distinct class types tracked separately: Private (one-on-one sessions), Group (multi-dog classes), Puppy (early socialization and basics), Behavioral (corrective and modification work), and Agility (course training and sport prep). Each class type carries its own scheduling, pricing, attendance, and progress tracking so the trainer reports on each program separately.
Yes. Dog Trainer exports all clients, class records, payment history, and tasks to CSV files. Exported CSVs open directly in Excel, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, or any accounting software the user's accountant prefers. CSV export means the user owns the data permanently and can prepare tax filings or share records with bookkeepers without lock-in to Dog Trainer.
Yes. Dog Trainer is built and tested for Windows 10 (version 1809 and later) and Windows 11. Dog Trainer uses standard .NET runtimes that ship with both operating systems. The installer does not modify system files, does not require administrator privileges to run after installation, and does not change Windows Registry settings outside the application folder.
