Does Canine Dimensions charge an additional fee for training additional principals of the Canine Dimensions franchise?

According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training is provided for the franchisee or a principal of the franchisee if the franchisee is a business entity. However, if training is provided for additional principals of the franchisee, Canine Dimensions may charge an additional fee. The franchisee is responsible for covering out-of-pocket expenses like travel, lodging, meals, and wages for themselves and any additional trainees during the initial training program.

Canine Dimensions also offers supplemental training courses after the franchisee has been operating for a year, which may be mandatory. Additionally, Canine Dimensions may hold an annual conference, which is mandatory for the franchisee and any designated representatives. The franchisee is responsible for paying a fee for their representatives to attend the annual conference and covering all travel and living expenses for attendees.

If the franchisee requests additional on-site training or training for an additional proposed equity owner, or if Canine Dimensions determines that additional on-site training would be beneficial, the franchisee must pay the then-current per diem rate per trainer, which is currently $350 per day, and reimburse Canine Dimensions' costs for providing the training, including travel, lodging, and meals. Canine Dimensions also reserves the right to assess a reasonable training fee for any refresher training programs or training of associates who affiliate with the franchisee after the franchise's opening.
