The problem

Owners forget an exercise by Tuesday and message to ask how it went again. If a trainer answers 25 of those messages a month at 8 minutes each, typing out the steps for the settle or loose-lead walking, that's 200 minutes, about 3.3 hours a month.

What the AI does

Loom records your screen or camera and shares the video as a link. Its free Starter plan allows 25 videos, each up to 5 minutes, at 720p. Film each core exercise once with a calm, well-practiced dog (settle on a mat, loose-lead walking, recall games, handling) and keep each under 5 minutes. Send the matching links after each class or session, and reply to questions with the link plus a line about that dog. Loom's AI titles and summaries need Business + AI and aren't needed here.

A worked example

A trainer in Chester runs 2 puppy courses and about 15 one-to-ones a month, and answers around 25 messages a month asking how to do an exercise.

Before

25 messages x 8 minutes: 200 minutes, about 3.3 hours a month

After

Most answered with a link and a line: about 2 minutes each, 50 minutes a month

What it's worth

About $100£75€89A$144C$141 a month saved, at an assumed $40£30€36A$58C$56 an hour for 2.5 hours (200 minus 50 minutes), after a one-off 3 hours or so to film the videos. Loom's free Starter plan covers 25 videos; Business is $18 (about $19£14€17A$27C$26) a user a month if you need more.

How to set it up

  1. List the 10 to 15 exercises owners ask about most.
  2. Film each one with a calm, well-practiced dog, keeping it under 5 minutes.
  3. Name each video clearly, such as 'Week 2: settle on a mat', and keep the links in one list.
  4. Send that week's links after each class or session.
  5. When an owner asks how to do an exercise, reply with the link and one line for their dog.

What goes wrong

  • The free plan stops at 25 videos of 5 minutes each; plan your library within that or budget for Business.
  • Get written consent from any owner whose dog or face appears in a video.
  • A video can't see the owner's dog. Problems that don't improve need a session, not another link.
  • Treat every link as public: anything in it may end up on social media.
