What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, any proposed replacement Assistant Manager must successfully complete the initial training program and any other training required by All Dogs Unleashed. The franchisor must also approve the proposed Assistant Manager before they can assume the position.
If the current Assistant Manager ceases to serve or no longer qualifies for the position, the franchisee must designate another qualified person to serve as the replacement within 30 days. The replacement Assistant Manager must complete the required training and be approved by All Dogs Unleashed, and this must occur no later than 60 days after the previous Assistant Manager left the position.
These requirements ensure that the Assistant Manager is adequately trained and meets All Dogs Unleashed's standards, which helps maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations. This also protects the brand's reputation and ensures customers receive a consistent level of service, regardless of the specific franchise location they visit.
