What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the annual conference fee does not cover travel, lodging, and meal expenses. The franchisee is responsible for these costs. The annual conference fee is currently $595 for up to two representatives from the franchise.
Canine Dimensions may host up to one convention annually, and franchisees will receive notice of the required fee, which may increase. The fee is due on the Friday after the Annual Conference.
Typically, in franchising, franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel, lodging, and meal expenses when attending conferences or training events. This is because these costs can vary significantly depending on the franchisee's location and preferences. Franchisees should factor in these additional expenses when budgeting for the annual conference.
