How many individuals can All Dogs Unleashed franchisees admit to the initial training program?

According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees can have up to three individuals attend the initial training program without incurring a tuition charge. These individuals typically include the Operating Principal, General Manager (if different), and Assistant General Manager, who are required to complete the training program to the franchisor's satisfaction. However, All Dogs Unleashed may require a payment of $50.00 per attendee to cover the cost of training materials.

If a franchisee wishes to send additional individuals to the training program beyond the initial three, All Dogs Unleashed reserves the right to charge a tuition fee for each additional attendee. The FDD does not specify the amount of this tuition fee. The initial training program is held at the All Dogs Unleashed headquarters in Carrollton, Texas, or another designated location, and may also be held virtually.

Franchisees are responsible for all training-related costs and expenses for each individual attending the training, including salary, travel, lodging, and dining expenses. While All Dogs Unleashed does not charge tuition for the first three attendees, they may charge $50.00 per person to cover the costs of course materials, such as training manuals, videos, exercises, and checklists. This policy is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisors often cover the core training costs but pass on the expenses for materials and additional attendees to the franchisee.
