What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the payments for initial training expenses, which range from $2,400 to $9,850, are to be made to airlines, hotels, and restaurants or meal providers. These expenses cover the costs of travel, lodging, training fees, and living expenses while attending the initial training program. These payments are typically arranged and incurred as you go through the training process.
In addition to these direct costs, All Dogs Unleashed also requires payment for training materials. These training materials, which may include manuals, videos, checklists, and other resources, cost between $100 and $150. These payments are made directly to All Dogs Unleashed.
Prospective franchisees should budget accordingly for these initial training expenses, understanding that the amounts can vary based on travel arrangements and the number of personnel attending the training. It is important to confirm with All Dogs Unleashed the exact payment schedule and preferred methods of payment for both the training expenses and the training materials to ensure compliance and avoid any delays in the training process.
