According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the right to renew their franchise agreement for two additional 5-year terms if they are in good standing. To successfully renew, the franchisee must provide notice of their intent to renew.
Additionally, the franchisee must be in compliance with the existing franchise agreement and satisfy all outstanding financial obligations to All Dogs Unleashed. The franchisee is also required to renovate and refurbish the facility to meet current standards. They must demonstrate that they have the legal right to remain in possession of the facility premises.
Furthermore, the franchisee must comply with All Dogs Unleashed's then-current qualifications and training requirements. They must also release All Dogs Unleashed and require their owners to release All Dogs Unleashed from any prior claims.
