According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, the establishment and operation of each All Dogs Unleashed facility is governed by the franchise agreement between the franchisee and ADU Franchise Limited Liability Company. The franchisor grants the franchisee the right to establish and operate a facility at an approved location, offering canine training, boarding, grooming, and other authorized services within a specified service area. The franchisee must adhere to All Dogs Unleashed's standards and utilize the System and Marks in their business operations.
The All Dogs Unleashed system includes sales and operating methods, facility design, décor, layout, fixtures, equipment, class structure, customer service techniques, and uniform standards for efficient operations. All Dogs Unleashed has the right to establish specifications for various aspects of the system, including location selection, facility characteristics, operating procedures, products and services, supplier qualifications, training, and marketing.
