What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated high-end cost for initial training expenses is $9,850. These expenses cover the costs of travel, lodging, training fees, and living expenses while attending the initial training program.
This figure is an estimate, and the actual costs may vary depending on factors such as the distance traveled, the type of accommodation chosen, and individual spending habits. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these potential variations when budgeting for their initial investment.
Note 12 in Item 7 of the FDD also mentions training materials, with a high-end estimate of $150. This cost is separate from the initial training expenses of $9,850 and covers items like training manuals and videos. The FDD specifies that the high figure for training materials assumes that the Operating Principal will not serve as the General Manager and that the Operating Principal, General Manager, and Assistant Manager will attend the initial training. This means that the cost of training materials will be higher if more people attend the training program.
