We franchise the operation of a one-stop dog shop providing dog training, daycare, boarding, and grooming under the trademark "ALL DOGS UNLEASHED" ("Franchised Business"). You will operate the Franchised Business using our proprietary business format and operating system (our "System"), our proprietary trademarks (our "Marks"), and other of our intellectual property. Our System includes our distinctive interior and exterior design, décor, color scheme, graphics, fixtures and furnishings, proprietary dog training programs, operations and customer service standards and procedures, advertising and marketing specifications and requirements, and other standards, specifications, techniques, and procedures that we designate, all of which we may change, improve, and further develop (collectively, "Standards"). Our Marks include the trade name and service mark "ALL DOGS UNLEASHED" and other proprietary trademarks, service marks, our trade dress, and other indicia of origin that we designate to identify businesses operating according to the System.
You will operate the Franchised Business from a commercial facility that meets our specifications and which we have approved ("Commercial Training Facility" or "Facility"). The commercial facility required to operate the Franchised Business may range from 4,000 to 6,000 square feet, inclusive of an outdoor area, if applicable. Training services may be provided at the Commercial Training Facility, at a public or private venue, or at a client's commercial location or residence, in accordance with our Manual and Standards.
You will focus your efforts on providing services within your designated "Service Area," but may provide services in other areas that do not fall within another franchisee's Service Area, as described in Items 12 and 16.
We offer qualified individuals the right to own and operate multiple Facilities in a designated development area by entering into an Area Development Agreement ("ADA"). The total initial investment necessary to begin operating under the ADA will vary depending on the number of Facilities to be opened in your designated development area. A copy of the ADA is attached as Exhibit E.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, All Dogs Unleashed franchises the operation of a one-stop dog shop providing dog training, daycare, boarding, and grooming under the trademark "ALL DOGS UNLEASHED".
The franchise agreement states that the franchisee has applied for the right to operate a business using the All Dogs Unleashed system and marks. The franchisor desires to grant these rights pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The franchise agreement also states that the franchisor has acquired the license to use and sublicense the use of a business format and system for a business that provides dog obedience and behavioral modification training, grooming, and boarding services under the trade name and service mark "ALL DOGS UNLEASHED."
All Dogs Unleashed requires franchisees to operate according to the standards, methods, policies, and procedures specified in their manuals, which may be modified from time to time by the franchisor. Franchisees must comply with these modifications at their own expense. The FDD does not explicitly state any exceptions to the requirement that a franchisee must offer all services (dog training, daycare, boarding, and grooming).
