What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training expenses, which range from $2,400 to $9,850, are due as incurred. These expenses cover travel, lodging, training fees, and living costs associated with attending the initial training program. Payments are made to airlines, hotels, and restaurants or meal providers.
This means that franchisees should budget for these expenses and be prepared to pay them as they arise during the training period. Unlike some franchise systems where training fees are a fixed upfront cost, All Dogs Unleashed requires franchisees to manage and pay for their training-related travel and accommodation directly.
Prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisees should factor these 'as incurred' costs into their initial investment calculations and ensure they have sufficient funds available to cover these expenses when they attend the initial training program. It's important to note that these amounts are non-refundable, as stated in Note 18.
