What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, a proposed Assistant Manager must successfully complete the initial training program. They must also complete any other training that All Dogs Unleashed requires. The candidate must be approved by All Dogs Unleashed before they can officially assume the position of Assistant Manager.
If the current Assistant Manager leaves the position or no longer meets the qualifications, the franchisee has 30 days to designate a qualified replacement. The replacement Assistant Manager must then complete the required training and receive approval from All Dogs Unleashed. This entire process, from the departure of the previous manager to the approval of the new one, must be completed within 60 days.
This requirement ensures that all Assistant Managers within the All Dogs Unleashed franchise system meet a consistent standard of knowledge and skill. It also allows All Dogs Unleashed to maintain quality control and protect its brand reputation. Franchisees should factor in the time and potential costs associated with training and approving new managers when planning their staffing needs.
