What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a proposed replacement Assistant Manager must successfully complete the initial training program. They must also complete any other training required by All Dogs Unleashed. Furthermore, the franchisor must approve the Assistant Manager before they can assume their position.
This means that if a franchisee's Assistant Manager leaves or no longer qualifies for the position, the franchisee has 30 days to find a qualified replacement. The replacement then has a maximum of 60 days to complete the required training and be approved by All Dogs Unleashed. This ensures that all Assistant Managers meet the brand's standards for knowledge and skills.
This requirement helps maintain consistency and quality across all All Dogs Unleashed franchise locations. The franchisee needs to factor in the time and potential costs associated with training a new Assistant Manager when planning for staffing changes. It is important to proactively identify potential candidates and ensure they can meet the training requirements within the specified timeframe to avoid any disruption in the business operations.
