What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any proposed replacement General Manager must successfully complete the initial training program and any other training required by All Dogs Unleashed. Additionally, the franchisor must approve the proposed replacement before they can assume the position of General Manager.
This requirement ensures that anyone in a management position is adequately trained in the All Dogs Unleashed system. This protects the brand's reputation and ensures a consistent level of service across all franchise locations.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that if their General Manager leaves, they will need to find a replacement who is willing to undergo the required training and be approved by All Dogs Unleashed. This could potentially delay the replacement process and create additional costs associated with training the new manager. It is important to factor in the time and resources needed for training when considering potential candidates for the General Manager position.
