What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may incur costs for additional training. The cost for additional training is $350 per day, plus the costs of transportation, lodging, and meals for the trainer.
This fee is applicable if a franchisee requests additional on-site training for themselves or an additional owner. It also applies if Canine Dimensions determines that a franchisee would benefit from additional on-site training.
Prospective franchisees should consider that these costs can accumulate quickly, especially if the training requires multiple days or significant travel. It is important to factor in these potential expenses when budgeting for the franchise.
