What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee is $45,000. This fee is payable as a lump sum when the Franchise Agreement is executed. Once paid, the fee is considered fully earned and is generally nonrefundable.
However, there is a specific exception to the nonrefundable policy. If a franchisee does not successfully complete the initial training program provided by Canine Dimensions, the Franchise Agreement will be terminated. In this case, Canine Dimensions will refund the initial franchise fee, but will deduct any reasonable expenses they incurred.
In addition to the initial franchise fee, new Canine Dimensions franchisees must also pay a $12,500 training and protected territory fee, $3,000 for marketing and training materials, and $5,000 for an initial inventory supply. These additional initial fees are generally nonrefundable.
