What is the length of the initial franchise term for an All Dogs Unleashed franchise?

According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise term is 10 years, as detailed in Section 2.1 of the Franchise Agreement. This means that a new franchisee will operate their All Dogs Unleashed business under the terms of the franchise agreement for a decade before needing to consider renewal. This is a fairly standard initial term length in the franchise industry.

After the initial 10-year term, franchisees in good standing have the option to renew their franchise agreement for two additional 5-year terms, as stated in Section 2.2. To renew, franchisees must provide notice of their intent to renew, be in compliance with the franchise agreement, satisfy any outstanding financial obligations to All Dogs Unleashed, renovate and refurbish the facility, demonstrate the right to remain in possession of the facility premises, comply with the then-current qualifications and training requirements, release All Dogs Unleashed from all prior claims, sign a successor franchise agreement, and pay a renewal fee.

It's important to note that when renewing the All Dogs Unleashed franchise agreement, franchisees must sign the then-current form of the franchise agreement, which may contain materially different terms and conditions than the original agreement. This means that the terms under which the franchisee operates could change significantly upon renewal, so careful review and consideration are necessary at that time.
