What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the owner training program includes a total of 9 hours of on-the-job training. The owner training covers several subjects, including a program overview and goals, financial and operational review, and marketing strategies, each with 3 hours of classroom training but no on-the-job training. Daily administration involves 9 hours of on-the-job training.
Prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisees should note that the on-the-job training component for owners is relatively small compared to the classroom training. This may mean that owners are expected to learn more from theoretical instruction and less from practical experience during the initial training phase.
In addition to owner training, All Dogs Unleashed also provides training for dog trainers and general managers. Dog trainer training includes on-the-job training for behavioral training basics and advanced behavior training. General manager training includes on-the-job training for facility maintenance, program training, and inventory management. The availability of these additional training programs could be beneficial for franchisees who plan to hire staff in these roles.
