What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated low-end cost for initial training expenses is $2,400. This figure covers the costs of travel, lodging, training fees, and living expenses associated with attending the initial training program. These expenses are paid to airlines, hotels, and restaurants or meal providers.
In addition to these expenses, All Dogs Unleashed franchisees must also budget for training materials, which are estimated to cost between $100 and $150. The lower estimate for training materials assumes that the Operating Principal will serve as the General Manager and that only the Operating Principal and Assistant Manager will attend the initial training.
Prospective franchisees should consider that the initial training expenses can vary significantly, with a high-end estimate of $9,850. This higher figure likely accounts for scenarios where the Operating Principal does not serve as the General Manager, requiring the Operating Principal, General Manager, and Assistant Manager to attend the initial training. It is important to note that all fees and payments are non-refundable unless otherwise stated or permitted by the payee.
